I feel like I'm quickly running out of counter space. I've got my cannisters, a cookie jar (that's consistently empty), an air fryer, a double-Keurig (one that makes a pot and a cup), toaster and knife block all spread throughout my kitchen. My kitchen isn't small by any stretch of the imagination, but I just… Continue reading Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken

Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
I've made at least a dozen different versions of taco salad in my life. My all-time favorite version is a classic: meat, ranch-style beans, lettuce, cheese, tortilla chips and Catalina dressing. It's not really the most healthy salad on the planet, but it sure is good. I've made a nice turkey version before with mini… Continue reading Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
Classic Fried Cabbage
Recycling is a cornerstone of my kitchen. I try to recycle leftovers, unwrapped foods, and half-used produce. We don't actually get recycling out here in the country, so I try to live as eco-friendly as a possibly can. Don't get me wrong, we still throw away way too much food. The entire planet does! Food… Continue reading Classic Fried Cabbage
Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
I've been craving iceberg lettuce lately. I know, iceberg doesn't have a taste. But there's nothing that has its refreshing crunch. It's the best lettuce to use on burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Hands down. It has very little nutritional value and is just basically water packaged into a lettuce leaf, but it's the most refreshing… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
Taco Mac
You've heard of Chili Mac before, but what about TACO MAC??? Honestly, it's pretty much the same thing but with a slightly different flavor profile. You use taco seasoning (which usually DOES include chili powder) and that's what makes this Mac different from Chili Mac. If you really want to make things more taco-fied, before… Continue reading Taco Mac
Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
It's a beautiful morning and I'm officially on vacation for the next 7 days! I've got to start packing after I blog. I haven't done a lick of packing! My husband and I are leaving as soon as he gets off work, so I'm under quite the time crunch. I wanted to at least leave… Continue reading Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
I'm finally getting to the bottom of a horde of recipes I've cooked over the last few weeks. I got backed up for some reason and I'm about to go out of town, so I need to get through most of the horde. I made this recipe for my husband's lunches a few weeks ago… Continue reading Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
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
Pineapple Casserole
You ever see a recipe in a cookbook and think, that can't be right? The ingredients don't add up, or the baking time seems off, or the description seems implausible? That's what happened to me when I first spotted Pineapple Casserole. The title makes it seem innocent. Pineapple Casserole. What could be weird about that?… Continue reading Pineapple Casserole
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
