I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice

Sesame Noodle Bowls
Do you ever get those random hunger pangs for something so oddly specific that you don't know if you even really like that thing at all? I do. Almost everyday. That weird craving struck me over the weekend. My most desired object? Edamame. I don't regularly eat it. I don't even really like it that… Continue reading Sesame Noodle Bowls
Ravioli Lasagna
Another day, another stay-at-home-and-work routine. I've got this new way of life down pat. I do the same things almost everyday so I can keep some sort of normalcy during this pandemic. I'll be staying home through at least the end of May, though that could change. I like working from home, but I'm ready… Continue reading Ravioli Lasagna
Skillet Ham Pot Pie
This is it. This is my final recipe with that petite ham I bought a month ago. I truly used that ham as efficiently as possible. A handful of dinner recipes, a side dish, and sliced up for sandwiches. It was probably the best $18 I've ever spent at the grocery store. I'm pretty hammed… Continue reading Skillet Ham Pot Pie
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
Pesto Tortellini & Chicken
A jar of pesto and a carton of pasta can feed an army. I'm convinced of that. Pasta is the best thing to be stocking up on right now, and so are jarred sauces. Sure, nothing comes close to making your own sauce, but it doesn't keep for very long in the fridge. Unless you… Continue reading Pesto Tortellini & Chicken
Skillet Chicken Ramen
During the Dust Bowl/Great Depression, families in Oklahoma got creative with their meals to make them last a long time. Onion burgers were born to stretch ground beef, which was high priced and hard to find. Potatoes and hot dogs were inexpensive so they made their way into most meals. We're not quite there yet,… Continue reading Skillet Chicken Ramen
Frico Chicken with Kale & Mushrooms
You know those little baked cheese snacks that are all cheese and nothing else? This recipe is kind of like that. The breading on the chicken is just cheese, that's it. Not flour, no breadcrumbs, no egg. Just freshly grated parmesan and nothing more. The key to this recipe is getting your pan hot enough… Continue reading Frico Chicken with Kale & Mushrooms
Thai Salmon Stir Fry
I've been hoarding all of these keto ideas and recipes and I'm finally getting around to posting them. Anytime inspiration strikes, I jot it down in my notes on my phone. I'll be laying in bed, about to fall asleep, when I'll think of something like, oh what if I make sloppy joe's but with… Continue reading Thai Salmon Stir Fry
