Today is my engagement-versary, if that's a thing. I can't believe it has been 3 whole years since Rob and I got engaged...and nearly 2 years since we got married. It's been a whirlwind these last few years. A crazy, wonderful whirlwind. Since I'm thinking about our engagement, it's made my mind wander to our… Continue reading Shrimp & Catfish Creole
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

I found this old Betty Crocker recipe the other day in my collection and tweaked it a… Continue reading Turkey Taco Meatballs

I don't think a mealoaf salad would go down very well. This weekend I set out to make another fave dinner: chicken fajitas. Tortillas are a… Continue reading Chicken Fajita Salad
Let's get this out in the open now: riced cauliflower is bland. If you open a bag of cooked cauliflower rice and expect to be blown away by its taste---I'm sorry. It's not going to happen. Cauliflower rice desperately yearns for seasoning. Even if it's as simple as a little pat of butter, salt and… Continue reading Verde Chicken Bowl
