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
Low Carb Breakfast Hash
There's something magical about today. We're on the cusp of our first major cold front since March, and all is calm right now. The trees are still, the sun is shining, and I haven't heard a bird chirp all morning. It's like they know cold weather is coming. It's officially, officially my favorite time of… Continue reading Low Carb Breakfast Hash
Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
My obsession with cheese has reached new heights. I spend more time in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store than any other aisle. I'm constantly inspecting the latest Stiltons, gruyere and emmentalers my cheese monger gets in. I'll try anything at least once. I'm especially fond of the Italian side: fresh mozzarella, shaved… Continue reading Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
German Rice Salad
I've got German food that runs through my blood. My mom's side of the family was very German. Think last names like Schiwart and Knippa. My grandma grew up on a small North Texas farm and learned how to make some of the best German food around. We eat egg noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas.… Continue reading German Rice Salad
Thai Chicken Skillet
It's a great weekend to be lazy. Honestly, most weekends are a great weekend to be lazy, but after a grueling week at work it's nice to just lounge around and not do anything. I have zero plans to get out of my cozy clothes. No plans to even leave the house. I'll be here,… Continue reading Thai Chicken Skillet
Verde Chicken Bowl
Let's get this out in the open now: riced cauliflower is bland. If you open a bag of cooked cauliflower rice and expect to be blown away by its taste---I'm sorry. It's not going to happen. Cauliflower rice desperately yearns for seasoning. Even if it's as simple as a little pat of butter, salt and… Continue reading Verde Chicken Bowl
