By now, most of your know I'm a seasoning fanatic. I've got jars upon jars of seasoning in my cabinet. I'm also quite fond of making my own seasoning. When I couldn't find any jerk seasoning at the store a few weeks ago, I made my own. I already had most ingredients on hand, so… Continue reading Jamaican Jerk Turkey Meatballs

Greek Turkey Bowls
I'm a seasoning hoarder. I love to pick up new spice blends whenever I can. That means my spice cabinet is overstuffed and overflowing with seasoning. Slap Ya Mama is one of my favorites. I also love Trader Joe's Green Goddess seasoning. A regular Italian seasoning is fine, too. But one of my absolute FAVORITES… Continue reading Greek Turkey Bowls
Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you've never had "bang bang" shrimp before, you've missed out on an epic flavor journey. I believe the term originated with a restaurant chain called "Bonefish Grill" but you can now find it at just about any seafood restaurant (including Red Lobster, I'm pretty sure). All it is: spicy mayo. Basically. That's it in… Continue reading Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
I feel like Brussels Sprouts get a bad rap. People either love them or hate them, and most people HATE them. Maybe it's their stinky smell (it's rather unpleasant when you microwave them especially) or their thick, crunchy texture. I believe most people have just had them served all wrong. Boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
It's officially *spooky season* and that means it's also soup season. I adore a good bowl of soup, but I'm running out of soup recipes to make! I've made just about every soup and stew you can think of at this point. I guess that's what happens when you have a recipe blog for 8+… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
Hot Chicken Salad
There's something about classic casserole recipes that just puts my mind at ease. Chicken and rice will instantly make my day better. Chicken spaghetti will fill me up with warmth and happiness. Stuffed shells or manicotti will make me dream of better days. One thing I've noticed in a lot of vintage cookbooks is something… Continue reading Hot Chicken Salad
General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
I like to incorporate a meatless meal at least once a week. Sometimes my meatless meal is simple: oatmeal for breakfast. Other times, I go out on a limb and make a meatless dinner. It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
Chili Lime Shrimp & Rice
Shrimp has always been one of my favorite foods. It doesn't matter how you cook it, I'll eat it. I've been known to ask for shrimp for my birthday dinner. Boiled, fried, cocktail---all of the options are good enough in my book. As I've grown older, I've found I rarely have time to pick up… Continue reading Chili Lime Shrimp & Rice
Simple Red Rice
What's the side dish you always eat when you make Mexican food? Is it beans? Rice? Corn? Most people choose to eat rice with their Mexican entrees. Whether that's enchiladas, tacos, or tamales, rice just hits the spot when it comes to a nice Mexican dinner. Usually I buy the frozen, bagged rice that Trader… Continue reading Simple Red Rice
Coconut Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
If there's one countertop appliance I use more than any other in my house, it's probably my rice cooker. The air fryer comes in second, though. We've gone through rice cookers over the years like underwear. They burn out pretty easily if you're using them as much as we do. Rice is one of our… Continue reading Coconut Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
