This isn't your normal, frou-frou quiche. The French would be aghast at the sight of this. Brunch fanatics would probably talk about this quiche behind its back. This is a tried-and-true Southwestern/Texan quiche. With the use of green chiles and sausage, you get a spicy punch every time you take a bite. Quiche is usually… Continue reading Green Chile Sausage Quiche

Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
It was this time of year two years ago that my husband and I went on a road trip to New Mexico. I had been to New Mexico several different times before then, but I really fell in love with it on that 2019 trip. It's such an enchanting place, with its desert & mountain… Continue reading Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
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
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
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
Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
The mission, if you choose to accept, is to make something different for breakfast this week. Breakfast is often the most overlooked meal of the day. I spent years skipping breakfast and starving to death before lunch. I've since changed up my routine and can't make it in the mornings if I don't eat something.… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
California Cobb Salad
We had to dog sit this past week for our coworker. It's been over three years since I've owned an animal, and after dog-sitting, I feel compelled to have a dog now! Blizzard was the best, company-wise. She was super good, knew tricks, very laid back and wonderfully soft. I know most dogs aren't this… Continue reading California Cobb Salad
Southwestern Chicken & Orzo
It's officially March 1st. It's the end of a short month, the last day of the February ratings period, and March Madness is not very far away. Woooo! What a month it has been. Ratings periods are always incredibly busy in the wacky wonderful world of television news, and this one was no different. I worked on… Continue reading Southwestern Chicken & Orzo
