I'm ready to make salads upon salads this spring and summer. The spring produce is out and ready for the taking. There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad. It's especially helpful when you want to avoid overheating your house with the stove and the… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas

Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
I'm finally, finally getting to the end of a bunch of recipes I made a few weekends ago. I try to post as many times a week as I can, but this week has been hectic. Between getting people out to our house to cut down limbs from October's ice storm, to accidentally sleeping in… Continue reading Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I have become obsessed with turkey roasts at the grocery store. They are usually nestled in with the whole turkeys in the poultry section of the store. They're much smaller than a whole turkey (duh) and they are cheaper (not by pound, but cheaper than buying a whole turkey). I had never noticed them before… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Caprese Chicken & Rice
I did it! I scheduled a vaccine appointment! Oklahoma opened up our state to phase 3 (which is most Oklahomans, like essential workers) yesterday and as luck would have it, I was signing up on the vaccine portal *right* when they announced phase 3. I managed to snag a highly coveted appointment for tomorrow. I'm… Continue reading Caprese Chicken & Rice
Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I just impulse bought a new coffee pot. It's a Keurig cup + 12 cup carafe duo coffee maker. I had to have it and it came at a decent price. You see, we've had our current coffee maker for the last year...maybe 2 years. I got it for $8 at Walmart because it was… Continue reading Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Mother Earth Bowl
Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl
Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
I grew up in a small North Texas city called Wichita Falls. Wichita Falls has always been a few decades behind other major metropolitan areas. That could be attributed to a typical slow Southern pace, or it could be attributed to the fact that it's pretty far away from the closest metro area (2 hours… Continue reading Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
Thai Salmon Stir Fry
I've been hoarding all of these keto ideas and recipes and I'm finally getting around to posting them. Anytime inspiration strikes, I jot it down in my notes on my phone. I'll be laying in bed, about to fall asleep, when I'll think of something like, oh what if I make sloppy joe's but with… Continue reading Thai Salmon Stir Fry
Pineapple Chicken
Effortless. Simple. Quick. Those three words are what I look for in most of my meal-prepping recipes. Ain't nobody got time to be using three pans and 27 ingredients when you're trying to make three dinners in one night. I need the most uncomplicated ones I can find. That's why I tend to lean toward… Continue reading Pineapple Chicken
