You ever make something and then immediately after it's done, you realize where you went wrong? That's what happened with this dinner recipe I made up the other weekend. I wanted a tray bake so bad for dinner, and used what I had in my kitchen to make it. Everything was going great! I had… Continue reading Smoky Chicken & Potato Sheet Pan Dinner

Garlic Parmesan Edamame
I'm not really sure how to eat edamame. I typically use shelled edamame in my cooking. I love stirring it into stir-fries and rice. But whole edamame? It's a mystery to me. I bought a couple of bags of the stuff the other day at the grocery store, intent on figuring out what to do… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Edamame
BBQ Chicken Tostadas
I swear, if I don't get a new oven sometime soon...I might lose my mind. I was CRAVING tostadas the other day and I've only ever made them in the oven. Sure, you can get the pre-made tostada shells (which is what I did) but how the heck are you going to melt the cheese… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Tostadas
Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
I work in local television news. I've been in this industry for more than 10 years, and at my current job for almost 8 years. Since I work in news, I've got to keep up with the news. You can ask me anything about state government, local laws, city decisionmakers, or current murders and I'll… Continue reading Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole
The wind sure is sweeping down the plain here in Oklahoma. We're gusting to 30 miles per hour almost, and have already seen a few grassfires spark out west. There's an ugly brown hue replacing the brilliant blue sky. Even when we're blessed with some warmer weather, we're cursed with these hellish winds. You've got… Continue reading Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole
Apple Cheesecake Muffins
It's the dog days of winter around here. That's a phrase, right? Waning sunlight and lots of afternoon naps. Bolo enjoys curling up in his new cat tree we got him. I wish I had a human tree I could curl up in... I've been baking a lot lately. There's something warm and inviting when… Continue reading Apple Cheesecake Muffins
Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
Merry Christmas, y'all! I hope you're having a great Christmas day. Rob and I both had to work, but we've made the most of it. It definitely helps that are coworkers are like a second family to us, too. Working in television on a holidy is both mind-numbingly boring and crazed at the same time.… Continue reading Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
Runza Casserole
There's been a debate ever since Oklahoma became a state (1907) as to where precisely Oklahoma is regionally in the U.S.A. Are we in the South? The Midwest? A regional black hole anomaly in a category all its own? Most people probably disagree with me when I say I consider Oklahoma a part of the… Continue reading Runza Casserole
Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers & Potatoes
During the busy season, sometimes all you want is for dinner to be ready as soon as you get home. Since I'm basically the only one who cooks in this house, that task is pretty much impossible. November is one of four months of the year that TV people hate----ratings. You can't take off work… Continue reading Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers & Potatoes
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
It's spooky movie season in the Wilson-Welcher household. Rob and I went to see "It" Friday evening, and while not really scary for me, it was still creepy. We followed up the theatrical goodness with the disastrously funny "Gingerdead Man" (low level B-movie starring Gary Busey? Count me in.) and then the beautifully artistic "Suspiria"… Continue reading Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
