Sometimes, just sometimes, simple is better. Instead of using 27 different ingredients for dinner, sometimes 3 just works. Instead of taking hours to cook one meal, sometimes taking minutes is better. Instead of presenting a pretty plate of food, sometimes just spooning your dish on a plate works. This is one of those "sometimes" dishes.… Continue reading Country Meat & Potatoes Skillet Dinner

Oktoberfest Stew
Soup season is here, and it's here to stay for at least the next 5 months. I'm a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I'm looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread--there's nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT. I've already made a… Continue reading Oktoberfest Stew
Maple Pork Sheet Pan Dinner
Of all the squashes in the world, delicata squash has to be my favorite. It's slightly sweet, slightly nutty, and the perfect ingredient for a fall dinner. It's so great you don't even have to peel it. I always eat the squash skin and all. If you can find delicata at your grocery store, I… Continue reading Maple Pork Sheet Pan Dinner
White Wine Chicken Stew
It's soup season and I couldn't be more excited. I've been waiting for this day for months. MONTHS! The 100-degree days have been long and excruciating here in Oklahoma. Our first "major" cold front of the season blew in yesterday and dropped our lows into the brisk 50's. It's been a joy leaving the windows… Continue reading White Wine Chicken Stew
Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
It's hard coming up with new ways to cook ground turkey. There's only so much you can do. Burgers, meatballs, spaghetti...after a while, it all starts to bleed together. I really racked my brain this past weekend trying to figure out what to do with my last pound of ground turkey. As it defrosted in… Continue reading Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
I had my first swig of Guinness this weekend. Can you believe it? I've spent 32 years on this planet with a very Irish name and never had a drop of Guinness. The verdict? It's some, ahem, potent beer. It's not really my cup of tea. I like my beers light, refreshing, and almost like soda. Guinness… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
Cowboy Stew
The polar vortex is officially in Oklahoma. Yesterday the entire state was one gigantic skating rink. Today, the ice is a little bit better, but it's about 18 degrees right now with wind chills hovering right around zero. This is NOT my favorite type of weather. It's going to be a long, cold next few… Continue reading Cowboy Stew
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Are you sick of casseroles yet? Have no fear. This might be the last one you see on here for a while. I'm still trying to get rid of all that ham I made a few weeks ago, and with Thanksgiving this week, I've been making casseroles like a fiend to throw something easy together… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole
