I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

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
Texas Tabbouleh
I've spent the better part of the afternoon sweeping up roly poly and cricket carcasses around the house. For some weird reason, my house has turned into a bug graveyard. This dead bug explosion has driven me to the brink. There are also dead little black beetles everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I have no clue what they are or where they are coming… Continue reading Texas Tabbouleh
Cheesy Kielbasa Pasta
Pasta is easily my #1 crutch. It's just so easy to throw something in with some pasta and have a meal for days. Pasta is a simple starch that is long-lasting and versatile. I know it's also not good for you, but it makes meal-prepping so much easier. I'll be going on the Whole30 diet at… Continue reading Cheesy Kielbasa Pasta
Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
It was a wild night in Oklahoma last night... Severe weather season has officially begun! Storms rollicked across the state, packing a major punch. No tornadoes in OKC, but really high winds caused a ton of damage, especially to State Fair Park. The Centennial Arch, built in the 1970's, didn't survive. There was supposed to be a… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
Chicken Stroganoff
After weeks of fruitless searching, many manic Walmart frenzies, and and almost uncontrollable urge to order from Hershey directly, I found my most beloved Christmas candy: Hershey's Peppermint Bark Bells. I've been obsessed with these little morsels of heaven ever since my friend Christine introduced them to me two years ago. They're usually easy to… Continue reading Chicken Stroganoff
Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Peas and Mushrooms
Today is DAY ONE of my annual Memorial Weekend Cleaning Extravaganza!!!! I don't think it's normal to be excited about cleaning, so I'll tone down the elation a bit while I explain...Since I work in an industry that doesn't recognize well, any major holiday, Memorial Day weekend means nothing to me. I don't think I've… Continue reading Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Peas and Mushrooms
Pea Penne Pasta
Let's talk about fresh herbs. I like them, I really do, but are they worth it? They're always sold in big bunches that I can't finish before they go bad. I've heard about freezing them, and I've bought basil that was potted before---but I've got this sneaking suspicion that they will still go to waste. If I need rosemary today… Continue reading Pea Penne Pasta
