Baking is not my first passion. It's also not my second, third, or fourth passion. It's not even on my "passion" list at all. I'm not the greatest baker in the world. Even with all the gizmos and gadgets to help in the kitchen, more often than not my baking experiments fail. Cakes come out… Continue reading Cherry Eggnog Bread

Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
I've been having a ball on TikTok lately making recipe videos. If you have TikTok, and want a more visual representation of my recipes, follow me at "modfarmgirl". It's reinvigorated my creativity in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I've always had a creative streak when it comes to cooking, but now I'm finding all… Continue reading Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
This could be my last overnight oat recipe for a while. For one thing, we're getting burnt out on overnight oats. Another reason: we're running out of overnight oat flavors to try! I've done apple pie, strawberry, blueberry and now pumpkin. What else is left? This recipe was probably my favorite. Well, it's a toss… Continue reading Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats

People are using sweet potatoes in ways never seen before. They are substituting their more starchy cousin for everything from potato salad to fries. Sweet potatoes have also been speaking… Continue reading Sweet Potato Chowder
Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Life without an oven sucks. Our oven has been broken for going more than 2 months now. We've been battling our home warranty company for that time to try and either get it fixed or get a new one. We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Pesto Grilled Cheese
I'm writing this through itchy, watery eyes right now. My fall allergies are out of control. The ragweed and grass pollen in the air in Oklahoma is extremely high, irritating my eyes and nostrils. It probably doesn't help that we've had the windows open for days. I refuse to turn the A/C back on at… Continue reading Pesto Grilled Cheese
Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
I've been in the mood for lettuce wraps lately. I mean, I've been really craving them. I love using crunchy butter/Boston lettuce and wrapping up stuff like ground chicken, Thai-style vegetables and even just lunch meat. Lettuce wraps are always a super refreshing meal and great for a lunch when working at home. You could… Continue reading Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
