I'm sure most of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone by now, but if you managed to freeze some turkey this recipe is for you. The weekend before Thanksgiving I meal prepped just one casserole to eat for lunch at work. I didn't want to take up to much space in my fridge and I knew… Continue reading Chicken Paprikash Casserole

Southwestern Chicken Salad
I like making big batches of food whenever I get the chance. Since I mealprep on Sundays, that's easy to do. Meal prepping is all about cooking in big batches and divvying it up throughout the week. Casseroles, sheetpan meals, and skillet dinners are perfect for it. Then, there's meal prepping salads. You can't really… Continue reading Southwestern Chicken Salad
Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
It's officially fall, y'all. I know it may not feel like it where you live, but according to scientists, September 23rd is the first official day of fall. It only feels like fall in OKC right now because of the allergies (which are killing me right now, by the way). It's still a zillion degrees… Continue reading Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
Mexican Cabbage Roll Soup
Soup's on in the Welcher household. Too bad it's 60 degrees outside. Our soup weather lingers somewhere between two days and a week, usually in January or February. Sure, we'll get cold for a few days after that---but nothing like normal winter forecasts for people living north of the Mason-Dixon line. I'll still eat a… Continue reading Mexican Cabbage Roll Soup
Southwestern Squash Casserole
It's a cool, brisk 60 degrees outside. We had a cold front blow in Friday and it appears as if it is here to stay. Rob and I have been burning our Bath & Body Works fall candles (pumpkin pecan waffles for the win!) and getting into the fall spirit. We only have about a… Continue reading Southwestern Squash Casserole
Roasted Broccoli Salad
The times are changing. Although it's still 90 degrees here in Oklahoma, fall is right behind that warm southernly breeze. My fall decor has already made its appearance. The pumpkin spice candles are burning. I'm digging jackets out of my closet. I'm eating hotter foods and thinking about soups, y'all. Soups. Summer will be out… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Salad
Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
I had to google what the difference between chiles and peppers yesterday. And guess what? I still don't understand what separates them from each other. It has something to do with the chemical makeup of what makes them spicy or not, but that's all weird scientific semantics to me. Peppers, chiles, whatever you call them---they… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
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
Jalapeño Popper Breakfast Muffins
Everybody needs a good kick in the morning. Whether that's a jolt of caffeine from espresso, a cold shower to wake you up faster, or a literal kick to get you out of bed...mornings are rough. Not everyone is pleasant and perky by their own accord at 6:00 am (or 4 am, which is when… Continue reading Jalapeño Popper Breakfast Muffins
Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
