I'm pooped. My husband and I spent the whole weekend Christmas shopping and it was a blitz from start to finish. I managed to cook most of the day on Sunday but I felt like napping the whole day. I'm exhausted. For my dinners this week, I made my meal prepping easy by cooking a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Creamy Pepperoncini Pasta
Do you ever spend hours scrolling through recipes on Pinterest, Pepper or Yummly only to see the same recipes you've seen time and time again? It's hard for me nowadays to find something new and exciting on those apps since I've created more than 1,020 recipes for this blog.

Shrimp Scampi Ramen
I've had this blog for about 10 years now. When I first started the blog, it was named "The Recipe Box Challenge". The whole idea behind the name was that I'd draw random, handwritten recipe cards from my half dozen recipe boxes and then cook said recipes. Great idea for a blog, terrible name. The… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Ramen
Hoagie Pasta Salad
I'm obsessed with that viral "grinder" salad on TikTok. It's tangy and sour and all the things I love about a good salad/slaw. The sandwich itself is also amazing, but I'm most obsessed with the salad part of it. Using that inspiration, I set out to make a pasta salad version of that viral recipe.… Continue reading Hoagie Pasta Salad
Sausage Fettuccine
Everything is dead or dying in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's summer this year has been far too hot. We had a long spate of 100-degree days and went weeks without rain. Because of that, everything from the grass to the trees is dying. It's been hard to keep my first-year garden alive. I surrendered early to the… Continue reading Sausage Fettuccine

It's so refreshing to either eat by itself or to serve it with burgers and barbecue. It's my go-to cookout side dish and my ride-or-die lunch at work. Imagine… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Salad

It's that time of year when I want to be outside for every waking moment. The temperatures are incredible. The sun is magnificent. The birds are chriping and singing and building nests. The tulips and irises are blooming and creating a spectacular blanket of color across the Oklahoma countryside. The breeze---well, I could do without… Continue reading Pesto Chicken Spaghetti

Sometimes, you just need a little meatball in your life. All of the world's problems can be solved by meatballs. Spaghetti and meatballs. Swedish meatballs. Meatball subs. It's the ultimate comfort food and the best thing to turn a bad day into a good one. Whenever I'm feeling down, I'll turn to something with meatballs.… Continue reading Meatball Chili Mac
Macaroni Tuna Salad
If there's one thing I love about working normal human hours, it's sitting down to have a nice lunch. When I worked from 2-10:30pm everyday, I would run home after volunteering with my local Meals on Wheels chapter and scarf down lunch really quick before changing for work. Now, I get to pack my lunch… Continue reading Macaroni Tuna Salad
