There's nothing like a good shepherd's pie for dinner. I've made a dozen different versions and they are all better than the last. Shepherd's pie dates back for centuries, but it didn't get its name until the mid 1850's. Most shepherd's pies use ground beef or lamb which simmer in a thick, dark gravy with… Continue reading Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

Slow-Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Since joining TikTok in 2020, I've found a handful of homecooks/chefs that I really enjoy watching. They're from all over the US (and world, I might add) and make a slew of different cuisines. I follow a guy in Ohio who makes all of his videos so interesting that I want to cook what he's… Continue reading Slow-Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
I've been trying to eat more vegetarian/vegan meals since meat prices are so high right now. So far, I've stuck to one meatless meal a week. This week I made tacos with all veggies and it was phenomenal. Mushrooms have always been my favorite and they're the perfect meat replacement, especially if cooked correctly. Portobello… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
There's a crisp chill in the air. I can hear the leaves bristling in the wind. Pumpkin spice creamer fills my cup of coffee to the brim. It's officially fall in Oklahoma and it sure feels like it, too. A cold front blew through last night and covered Oklahoma in a thick, humidity-lacking cool temperature… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
Smoky Chicken & Potato Sheet Pan Dinner
You ever make something and then immediately after it's done, you realize where you went wrong? That's what happened with this dinner recipe I made up the other weekend. I wanted a tray bake so bad for dinner, and used what I had in my kitchen to make it. Everything was going great! I had… Continue reading Smoky Chicken & Potato Sheet Pan Dinner
Hot Chicken Salad
There's something about classic casserole recipes that just puts my mind at ease. Chicken and rice will instantly make my day better. Chicken spaghetti will fill me up with warmth and happiness. Stuffed shells or manicotti will make me dream of better days. One thing I've noticed in a lot of vintage cookbooks is something… Continue reading Hot Chicken Salad
General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
I like to incorporate a meatless meal at least once a week. Sometimes my meatless meal is simple: oatmeal for breakfast. Other times, I go out on a limb and make a meatless dinner. It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
I've been really breaking out of my shell when it comes to vegetarian/vegan meals. This recipe is not something I would have made a few years ago. I like to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet, but this recipe is a little out there. First, you make your own bean spread (almost like a hummus… Continue reading Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
I'm finally, finally getting to the end of a bunch of recipes I made a few weekends ago. I try to post as many times a week as I can, but this week has been hectic. Between getting people out to our house to cut down limbs from October's ice storm, to accidentally sleeping in… Continue reading Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
Italian Sausage Saute with Garlic Parmesan Polenta
I had forgotten how much I love polenta. It's like this wonderfully homey corn cake that goes so well with any kind of pasta sauce you can put on top of it. I couldn't find the tube stuff at the grocery store the other day (it's a guilty pleasure of mine, I'm sorry for all… Continue reading Italian Sausage Saute with Garlic Parmesan Polenta
