After a weekend away from my apartment, I'm back. We had to pack up the cats and a few belongings while our complex redid our kitchen and bathroom, so I wasn't able to get my meal prepping done this weekend like I usually do. I was, however, able to make one thing to take with… Continue reading Chicken Marsala Orzo
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
I've developed this new routine that's starting to get problematic.

MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies

It was too dry and not nearly cheesy enough. The cauliflower rice wasn't the problem, so I knew I was on to… Continue reading One Pan Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli
Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
