I'm trying to get in this mindset that we're living in a much warmer season than it actually is. I'm dreaming of summer, cicadas chirping, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and long sunsets. Instead, what I'm actually living in is barren trees, ice crystals on my windshield, and a churning heater. I'm sick… Continue reading Hot Honey Chicken Salad

Betty’s Chicken Salad
Before you ask, no, I don't know who Betty is. I'm one of those people who writes down recipes every chance I can get. I've been doing it for almost 10 years, and I've got recipes coming out of my ears. Most of the recipes I've written down came from my mom, grandma, or Aunt.… Continue reading Betty’s Chicken Salad
Cranberry Ambrosia
One thing that's very much a delicacy in the South is Ambrosia. It's taken to parties and cookouts in the spring and summertime and is a staple. I've grown up on two types of ambrosia: pink & green. The green stuff also goes by "Watergate salad" for some unknown reason. My mom used to make… Continue reading Cranberry Ambrosia
Kale & Quinoa Salad
Salad is often overlooked at the Thanksgiving table. Who wants a leafy green salad when they can load up on all the carbs? Stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey rule the Thanksgiving table, there's no doubt about that. But most Thanksgivings I try to serve a salad as a starter to get everyone's palette ready. A… Continue reading Kale & Quinoa Salad
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
I'm loving all of the fall and winter vegetables. The grocery store had a huge array of different gourds yesterday. They also had plenty of turnips, parsnips and rutabagas, to boot. I love a good roasted vegetable dish, so I'm all in when it comes to winter veg. One thing I love to eat this… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Chilly mornings have replaced the steaming heat here in Oklahoma. It's the best time of year when it comes to the weather, and yet it won't last long. You'll need to turn your heater on when you go to work and by the time you get out you'll have to turn the A/C on. Chilly… Continue reading Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Greek Turkey Burgers
It's been a rough week. It may be y'alls Thursday, but technically it feels like Friday for me. While everybody was off barbecuing on the Labor Day weekend, I was at work. I hate when I add an extra day to my work week because I feel thrown off the entire week. I keep thinking… Continue reading Greek Turkey Burgers
Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Labor Day is here and I'm, well, laboring. When I was a kid, my stepdad and I would use the extended weekend to work on projects around the house. Not like I WANTED to do that on a weekend off, but I did anyway. It's something that's stuck with me ever since then. I don't… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
We are drawing near the end of summer. Cookouts and grilling are becoming more sporadic. It's getting harder to find outdoor parties. People are covering up the grill and packing it up for winter. It's a sad time if you truly enjoy summer. It's a bit more bittersweet for me. I love fall and the… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
BBQ Chicken Salad
There's a great TikTok account that I follow called "Salad Lab". The woman makes famous salads everyday. The Kardashians favorite salads, the original Waldorf salad, Panera salads, etc. She'll include celebrity favorite salads--I think a few days ago it was Jennifer Lopez's favorite kale and queso salad. I get tons of inspiration from her account.… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Salad
