Being from Texas, I know barbecue. I mean, really understand it. I've grown up on brisket dinners and pulled pork cookouts. Sweet and spicy thick barbecue sauces are ingrained in my nature. Mesquite smoke-flavored chicken lives on my tastebuds. I've branched outside of good ol' Texas barbecue many times before. I've had Memphis-dry rubbed ribs… Continue reading Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce

Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
When you knock out one of the four tastes, you’ve really got to get to work making sure the other three really knock it out of the ballpark. The lack of sweetness in my life really isn’t that bad, since I’m not too keen on desserts or fruit. The problem I run into, though, is… Continue reading Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Layered Enchiladas

Most of the Mexican food I make is a… Continue reading BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Layered Enchiladas
15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I originally wasn't going to take pictures/post this recipe. You see at least a trillion copycat P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps on Pinterest when scrolling through boards. However, I think mine is the best of all. I'm sure other people think the same thing, but I'm not kidding---these are incredible. The best part? It only… Continue reading 15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Sausage & Peppers with Zucchini Noodles
I think I've probably slept for 12 hours over the last day. I don't know why I've been so tired. Maybe all the stress from last week? I was supposed to do a million things when I woke up this morning, but instead took a nap. Right after I woke up. Makes sense, right? I… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Zucchini Noodles
Sriracha Teriyaki Meatballs
It's official, y'all. Spring has sprung. The smelly white flowers are now blooming on the Bradford Pear trees, effectively trumpeting in the start of the new season. Bradford pears are actually the worst. They only live for 25 years, their limbs snap easily, and though being "infertile"---they can cross-pollinate with other pear trees and turn… Continue reading Sriracha Teriyaki Meatballs
