My family has several Christmas traditions, like eating snacks/appetizers on Christmas Eve, watching A Christmas Story on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and making a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning. We've used a few different breakfast casserole recipes over the years. My husband loves this biscuits and gravy one. I love this traditional bread,… Continue reading Pigs in a Blanket Breakfast Casserole

Pimiento Cheese Pasta Salad
Pimiento cheese is serious business in the South. You can get into major arguments about how you like your pimiento cheese. Some people swear by a certain kind of mayonnaise, cheese, and flavor. Some people like it on the sweeter side, while others prefer the savory/spicy side. Then there are die-hard fans of the pre-packaged… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Pasta Salad
Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Corn Casserole
The corn is poppin' in Oklahoma right now. Corn harvest typically starts the first week of July, and there are some big-time sweet corn farmers here in the state. Some of the best corn can be found in Webbers Falls and McLoud. I was lucky enough to get my hands on both. The corn is… Continue reading Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Corn Casserole
Mustard Greens with Smoked Turkey
Goodness, I love a little garden. I started a small vegetable garden last year that ended with mixed results. For instance, all six of my zucchini plants succumbed to squash bugs last year. I just couldn't keep up with those absolutely vile creatures. But, all of my chard plants produced a bunch of foliage throughout… Continue reading Mustard Greens with Smoked Turkey
Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
There are a lot of different homestyle recipes I lean back on during tough times. My husband and I are saving up for a mega-two-week camping trip in the middle of June. That means I've been cutting back where I can, especially my grocery list. It's one easy area to save on money. I had… Continue reading Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

You could buy Christmas decor, Christmas presents, and stocking stuffers. Every year, you could expect to see the… Continue reading Cajun Caviar
Secret Ingredient Smothered Pork Chops
You ever run across a recipe in an old cookbook and think, "there's no way that could work"? This happens to me A LOT. I've found Velveeta made into fudge (no way that could work!) and 'impossible' cakes made without eggs (how could that work??). But sometimes, just sometimes, it actually DOES work. This recipe… Continue reading Secret Ingredient Smothered Pork Chops
Homestyle Chicken Pie
You did not read that title wrong. This is chicken pie. Not chicken pot pie. Is there truly a difference? Barely. This chicken pie lack vegetables and a round shape, and those are about the only things that differentiate it from chicken pot pie. I made this because it sounded right up my husband's alley.… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken Pie
Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis
I love finding a good copycat recipe for a restaurant favorite. When the recipe is spot on, you can save a bunch of money by making it yourself instead of driving to a restaurant. I've made a ton of fantastic copycat recipes including Chipotle carnitas, Piccadilly Macaroni and Cheese, and Cheddar's dijon chicken and mushrooms.… Continue reading Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis

Tomato pie is all the rage right now on social media. It's a Southern summer recipe that's been around for ages. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, the recipe has started infiltrating other regions of the country (and world) and people are "discovering" its simple yet delightful taste. Tomato pie is great, don't get… Continue reading Rustic Tomato Casserole
