Hello, all! It's been a hot minute since my last post. There's good reason for that...or, actually, a bad reason for that: I had coronavirus. I've been bed-ridden for more than a week and only just now started to feel better. I'm one of the lucky ones, though. I had a relatively mild case and… Continue reading Italian Beef Stew

French Onion Chicken Pasta
When I cook and shoot pictures of my meals, I use 2 different SD cards. One is in my camera at all times, the other is usually in my computer. I switch them out when I need to get pictures off the other.That means I have pictures of meals on some of these cards that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Pasta
Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
You ever open up your pantry and stand there for what seems like an eternity trying to decide what to make for dinner? I do. It happens to me more often than not. I've constantly got those gears churning in my head in the kitchen, trying to decide what to make with the haphazard ingredients… Continue reading Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
Parmesan Chicken Couscous
If you go to the store right now, chances are you won't find a lot of staples.No spaghetti. No white bread. No name-brand cereal.After experiencing the lack of what you need, you'll turn to replacements. Maybe you grab that weird, green spinach spaghetti instead of the normal kind. You might reach for an overpriced loaf… Continue reading Parmesan Chicken Couscous
Creamy Meatball Soup
I can count on one hand the "winter-like" days we've had so far this year. It's been relatively mild compared to past winters. We've lucked out and had many weekends of 60 degree weather. The grass has even started to turn green here; mistakenly thinking it's spring already. Once the Bradford pear trees that line… Continue reading Creamy Meatball Soup
Portuguese Caldo Verde
One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast when I was a kid was Eggo waffles with peanut butter and syrup. I would slather the peanut butter on the golden, crispy waffles so it filled almost every hole. You'd get a mouthful or peanut butter in every bite that way. Drizzle a bunch of… Continue reading Portuguese Caldo Verde
Zesty Winter Pork Stew
It's 2020 but here I am still living in 2019. Since I spent months baking and posting holiday recipes, I'm backed up about a dozen of my normal, everyday meals. I've got salads, dinners, soups and snacks. All of the recipes are just waiting on me to post them so the world can see. Once… Continue reading Zesty Winter Pork Stew
Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be spending the evening at work and then will probably ring in the new year in bed, asleep. Exciting, I know. I've just never been the NYE-type person. I could honesty care less about the New Year. One more circulation around the sun? Great. I don't need a party to… Continue reading Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
Creamy Gnocchi & Sausage Skillet
There's a chance, albeit a brief, fleeting chance...that OKC gets its FIRST SNOW today! We'll get a trace amount. It probably won't stick to the ground. But I AM LIVING FOR IT. I've been beaming ear-to-ear since Monday. The clouds haven't stopped blanketing the sky since then, and it's been cold, drizzly and dreary...but THIS… Continue reading Creamy Gnocchi & Sausage Skillet
