Some of the best green beans you'll ever taste in your life are the ones that are pan-fried with bacon. It's a classic green bean recipe that most everyone knows. Bacon, onion, and green beans all come together for the perfect side dish. But what if you could make a version of that...but better? That's… Continue reading Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes

Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
It's hard coming up with new ways to cook ground turkey. There's only so much you can do. Burgers, meatballs, spaghetti...after a while, it all starts to bleed together. I really racked my brain this past weekend trying to figure out what to do with my last pound of ground turkey. As it defrosted in… Continue reading Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
Turkey Taco Quinoa Skillet
You ever feel queasy after getting your blood drawn? It happens to me every. Single. Time. I can look at someone else's blood no problem. But as soon as I see my own blood outside of my body, all bets are off. I'm getting light-headed just writing about it now. I had my yearly physical… Continue reading Turkey Taco Quinoa Skillet
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
A few weeks ago, I bought a big pack of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I typically grab a pack of the boneless, skinless version, but these were much cheaper. I divvied up the portions and froze most of them, but left one pack to make this skillet dinner. There's nothing quite like chicken thighs. They're… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Skillet

My grocery pickup order is set and ready to go for tomorrow. I've got a pile of firewood right outside the door waiting to be burned down. Our little homestead is prepared to last this entire, extremely long cold snap. I haven't been outside since Saturday. I'm pretty sure my car is frozen over and… Continue reading Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet

I've been browsing my expansive cookbook collection lately for inspiration. I've got dozens of vintage cookbooks packed full of old school jello and casserole recipes. I've been trying to find Christmas recipes and new dinners that are exciting and fresh and different. The only bad thing about those vintage cookbooks is for every good dinner… Continue reading Honey Garlic Pork Chops
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
Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
It's a chilly one out there today. We're under an ice storm warning for the next several days and I'm hoping and praying our electricity doesn't go out. I love how Oklahoma skips right over fall and dives head first into winter. Leaves changing colors, what's that? Cool fall temps with sweaters? Never heard of… Continue reading Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
