There's been a half-full bag of frozen catfish lounging in the back of my freezer for a few weeks now. I've been desperately trying to figure out what to do with it, but my mind kept drawing a blank. The only thing I could think of was to make fried catfish...I know, boring. There had… Continue reading Cajun Catfish Salad

Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
Here we are again. The end of the work week. It's going to take everything in my power to not "treat myself" today. For the last several Fridays, after particularly rigorous work weeks, I've ordered Postmates for dinner at work. It's a nasty (and expensive) little habit, but it was like a trophy for me… Continue reading Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you look through ANY food boards on Pinterest, you'll be inundated with copycat 'bang bang' shrimp recipes. What is that, you ask? Well---I actually don't know. I've never even had bang bang shrimp before from any of the restaurants claiming to serve it. Even though I've never tried it, my mouth still waters everytime… Continue reading Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Extra Pepper Chicken
Chinese takeout fills a really important niche in my life. If I'm feeling down, or feeling homebound, ordering Chinese will instantly put me in a good mood. We've got a ton of quick Chinese takeout spots around the city, and I usually don't order from the same one twice. I'll switch between Singapore noodles (curry… Continue reading Extra Pepper Chicken
Texas Pot Roast
One of the reasons you rarely see beef recipes on my blog is because they're so gosh darn hard to photograph. I've got pictures upon pictures of meatloaf and meatball recipes that I can't use because they look, well, horrible. With beef having such a dark brown exterior, it does no good for pictures even… Continue reading Texas Pot Roast

The kitchen is sparkling clean and ready for a long day of meal prepping. I'm currently trying to decide what to make for breakfast before I… Continue reading Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I have a dream where one day everyone will get on board with cauliflower. Cauliflower gets a bad rap; even more so now that it's the "trendy" food to eat. People knock on the broccoli impostor constantly on my social media feeds.But have you ever tried cauliflower? Like, really tried it? It just needs to… Continue reading Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
Baked Buffalo Chicken Subs
You all know the saying: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I live by that saying in the kitchen. No lemons to make lemonade? Let's use those week old limes in the bottom of the crisper drawer. I'm constantly trying to use up what I have leftover in my kitchen and pantry. It's an… Continue reading Baked Buffalo Chicken Subs
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
Shrimp & Catfish Creole
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
