Every Sunday I meal prep for the week ahead. I make two meals for my husband to take to work for lunch, then a few meals for dinners throughout the week (plus snacks and salads when I decide to make them). I've been experimenting with what my husband will eat for lunch because I want… Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry

Caprese Chicken & Rice
I did it! I scheduled a vaccine appointment! Oklahoma opened up our state to phase 3 (which is most Oklahomans, like essential workers) yesterday and as luck would have it, I was signing up on the vaccine portal *right* when they announced phase 3. I managed to snag a highly coveted appointment for tomorrow. I'm… Continue reading Caprese Chicken & Rice
General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet
My grocery pickup order is set and ready to go for tomorrow. I've got a pile of firewood right outside the door waiting to be burned down. Our little homestead is prepared to last this entire, extremely long cold snap. I haven't been outside since Saturday. I'm pretty sure my car is frozen over and… Continue reading Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet
Stovetop Ranch Mac and Cheese
I'm a HUGE fan of baked, custard-style macaroni cheese. Like, MEGA huge fan. One of the most popular recipes on this blog is my copycat version of Piccadilly's macaroni and cheese. It's the most homey, comforting bowl of macaroni and cheese you can eat. It's got this thick, delicious cheese sauce and is baked to… Continue reading Stovetop Ranch Mac and Cheese
Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
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
