I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice

French Onion Chicken Pasta
When I cook and shoot pictures of my meals, I use 2 different SD cards. One is in my camera at all times, the other is usually in my computer. I switch them out when I need to get pictures off the other.That means I have pictures of meals on some of these cards that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Pasta
Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese. You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments. A table saw buzzes in the distance. Bolo, my frisky Siamese cat, is sitting by the window cleaning his foot. The slurping… Continue reading Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
Sesame Noodle Bowls
Do you ever get those random hunger pangs for something so oddly specific that you don't know if you even really like that thing at all? I do. Almost everyday. That weird craving struck me over the weekend. My most desired object? Edamame. I don't regularly eat it. I don't even really like it that… Continue reading Sesame Noodle Bowls
Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
You ever open up your pantry and stand there for what seems like an eternity trying to decide what to make for dinner? I do. It happens to me more often than not. I've constantly got those gears churning in my head in the kitchen, trying to decide what to make with the haphazard ingredients… Continue reading Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
Parmesan Fish Sticks
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Chef Boyardee beefaroni. A can of Beenee Weenies. People are turning to their childhood favorites right now, and I'm no different. Hamburger helper. Kid Cuisine. Cheez Balls. Instead of falling into the trap of buying all the premade, loaded-with-chemicals food, I've been trying to make my own homemade versions. I've been… Continue reading Parmesan Fish Sticks
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
