While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie

Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Poblano Corn Chowder
I'm all in when it comes to soup making weather. Right now, my third soup of the season is sitting in my fridge. I've stocked up on canned tomatoes and beans, fresh potatoes and onions. There's a zillion different soup combinations out there just waiting for me to try. I didn't think I could find… Continue reading Poblano Corn Chowder
BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
When you're broke, packing, and starving where do you turn? POTATOES. Potatoes fill the void like no other. They're cheap, filling, and extremely versatile. We've been munching on potatoes for the last several weeks while we scrounge every penny to buy our first house. Tired of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and fries?

Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments. A table saw buzzes in the distance. Bolo, my frisky Siamese cat, is sitting by the window cleaning his foot. The slurping… Continue reading Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Skillet Ham Pot Pie
This is it. This is my final recipe with that petite ham I bought a month ago. I truly used that ham as efficiently as possible. A handful of dinner recipes, a side dish, and sliced up for sandwiches. It was probably the best $18 I've ever spent at the grocery store. I'm pretty hammed… Continue reading Skillet Ham Pot Pie
Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal
After more than a week of not leaving the house, the walls start to feel like they're closing in on you. Don't get me wrong, I love social distancing. Our apartment is cozy and we've got everything we need right here. I'm a homebody and someone who secretly rejoices when plans get canceled. However, I… Continue reading Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal
Whiskey & Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes
We're just days away from the most gluttonous day of the year. My pantry is locked, stocked and ready for the big day. For the first time in forever, I have Thanksgiving off. I can't go anywhere, though, since I'll more than likely have to work the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The biggest day for college… Continue reading Whiskey & Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes
