This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole

Jerk Salmon Salad
If it's not from the sea, it ain't for me. At least, that should be my catchphrase right now. I've been on a total seafood binge lately. Everything from canned tuna to shrimp to scallops is on my radar right now. Seafood has always seemed really expensive to me, but now that EVERY protein is… Continue reading Jerk Salmon Salad
Savory Crawfish Cornbread
Happy Fat Tuesday, y'all. Mardi Gras is here and I'm celebrating like an honorary Cajun, despite living smack-dab in the middle of Oklahoma. I have family from Alexandria and my aunt used to live in Monroe, and my heart and soul belong to Louisiana. It's one of my most favorite places in the world because… Continue reading Savory Crawfish Cornbread
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
Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
I like to try different sauces. I guess you could call me a sauce queen. I have dozens of different sauces stashed in my pantry, fridge, and secondary cabinet. I'm a big fan of sauce that Trader Joe's offers. I'll try anything at least once. So when I saw a jar of Cajun Alfredo the… Continue reading Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
BBQ Chicken Salad
There's a great TikTok account that I follow called "Salad Lab". The woman makes famous salads everyday. The Kardashians favorite salads, the original Waldorf salad, Panera salads, etc. She'll include celebrity favorite salads--I think a few days ago it was Jennifer Lopez's favorite kale and queso salad. I get tons of inspiration from her account.… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Salad
Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
We're in for a long dry spell this week. Temperatures are about to soar into the upper 90's and there's not a lick of rain in the forecast. The humidity will be through the roof, too, making temperatures feel more like they're in the 100's. It's definitely the dog days of summer right now. I'm… Continue reading Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
Chicken & Mango Skewers
I think I've finally gotten the hang of grilling things. After years of messing things up with a charcoal grill, we finally bought a propane grill and it is MUCH easier for me to use. I tried it out this weekend and cooked up some kabobs and pork tenderloin. To my surprise, both came out… Continue reading Chicken & Mango Skewers
Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
There's a gigantic tub of hummus at Costco that reels me in every time I go there. I think it's about 3 pounds of hummus inside the typical plastic container. I've found two different flavors over the last several months that I like, but the red pepper hummus is probably my favorite. I put that… Continue reading Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
