I just impulse bought a new coffee pot. It's a Keurig cup + 12 cup carafe duo coffee maker. I had to have it and it came at a decent price. You see, we've had our current coffee maker for the last year...maybe 2 years. I got it for $8 at Walmart because it was… Continue reading Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
The world maybe changing, but my life still goes on in this little corner of the internet. I've got a stocked up kitchen right now and plenty of food to get Rob & I through 2 weeks if need be. We don't have the luxury of working from home. Right now is an essential time… Continue reading Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
Cranberry Orange Scones
It's getting really close to Christmas, y'all. Every Monday during the month of December I take a minute to gather my thoughts. What Christmas presents do I have left to buy? When should I start shopping for Christmas dinner? What all needs to be cleaned before family comes down? That list is getting shorter and… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones
Triple Citrus Grilled Chicken
I just berated my cat for laying around all day. It must be nice to be a cat; sleeping 20 hours of the day, eating whenever you want, having humans do your bidding. I wish I could switch places with my cat for just one day. Instead, I'll be spending my last of two days… Continue reading Triple Citrus Grilled Chicken
Winter Fruit Salad
I've been battling a nasty little sinus infection for the past week. I swear, I've been sick for a full-blown month. Which is strange, because before this I hadn't been sick in almost two years. I guess when it rains, it pours, huh? I figured we needed some fresh Vitamin C in this household, so… Continue reading Winter Fruit Salad

Let me tell you about my first week of 2018. Well, first we have to go back to last year. Dec. 31st, 2017. I wake up with a pain in my gut at about 1 in the morning. I traipse into the bathroom and stay there for approximately an hour and a half. I was… Continue reading Sesame Chicken Chopped Salad
Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Is there anything more summer, or Southern, than a fish fry? Just the smell of catfish fillets (or nuggets) dipped in golden cornmeal and then fried until crispy makes my mouth water. I've grown up around catfish, and good 'ol fish fries, my entire life. Catfish may be a bottom feeder, but it sure does… Continue reading Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Orange Chicken with Barley
When you're sifting through a cookbook, do you ever stumble upon a recipe that looks so strange, you just have to try it? That happens to me all the time. I think when a recipe look so weird that you're intrigued---you have to make it. It helps with creativity in the kitchen, and always makes me try new… Continue reading Orange Chicken with Barley
Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken
I was contemplating life this morning while peeling and cubing butternut squash. Yes, I was chopping a squash at 10 o'clock in the morning. Hey---the early bird gets the worm, right? I had to make something with it in the crockpot, hence the early morning squash choppin'. Anyway, I was contemplating the most random life things… Continue reading Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken
Frog Eye Salad
I have eaten so. much. food. I really have a problem with properly planning portions for just two people. When we decided to break in our new grill, I made up my mind: I wanted to grill ALL THE FOODS. All of them. Burgers, chicken, corn cobs and jalapeno poppers later---I'm stuffed to the brim.… Continue reading Frog Eye Salad
