Meal prepping will never go out of style. Mark my words. I've been meal-prepping for more than 5 years now. I cook all of my lunches and dinners for the week on Sundays and then eat them throughout the workweek. Sometimes I'll prep a breakfast to eat throughout the week, like overnight oats or freezer… Continue reading Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

Apple Pie French Toast Bake
Happy Halloween! I'm decked out in a Halloween shirt and Halloween makeup for the day, but after today it's all about my most favorite time of the year: CHRISTMAS! I started early...REALLY early. My house is already decorated for Christmas. I'm recipe testing for Christmas. Even though Halloween isn't in the rear view mirror yet,… Continue reading Apple Pie French Toast Bake
Seven Layer Dip Burrito
Taco Bell is the OG when it comes to fast vegetarian food. That's all thanks to BEANS. When vegetarians in the 90's and early 00's needed a quick fix, Taco Bell was the place to go. You can order just about anything with beans instead of meat: tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. Now, are the beans… Continue reading Seven Layer Dip Burrito
Panhandle Sandwiches
Kids start going back to school next week here in Oklahoma. I know a lot of parents are in a frenzy to make sure the transition from summer break to the new school year goes smoothly. One thing you shouldn't have to worry about as a parent: school lunches. This year, school lunches are NOT… Continue reading Panhandle Sandwiches
Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Pumpkin spice everything is all the rage right now. I know it usually gets a big boost in the fall, but this year it seems like it's absolutely everywhere. I'm not complaining. I love pumpkin. I mix it in with my oatmeal, coffee, and pies. It's delicious. Pumpkin doesn't have much flavor in and of… Continue reading Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
I'm a big time lover of stinky foods. I've gotten in trouble eating tuna in a confined space at work before. I'll heat up broccoli in the microwave with no shame. I once got the boot from the newsroom for opening up a package of pickled cauliflower (to be fair, it REEKED, and I had… Continue reading Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos
Boy howdy is my freezer packed full right now. It's times like these that I wish I had a secondary freezer to stock meat and meals. Alas, all I have is a small, overly-stuffed freezer right now. I'm pretty sure all of the food is blocking the freezing cold air from moving through, too. Oh… Continue reading Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos
Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
Rob and I held our first dinner party as a married couple last weekend for Cinco de Mayo. I was up early that Saturday (which is normal) and prepared for our meal: a taco bar with my delicious honey-lime poblano chicken tacos and regular beef. All of the fixings were pre-cut that morning: lettuce, tomato,… Continue reading Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potato & Mushrooms
My pantry is inundated with half-filled containers of random grains, flours, and meals. I've got pearl couscous I need to use, about a cup of quinoa left, and some semolina flour I have no idea what to do with. Such is the life of a random foodie. I get inspired by a recipe and I… Continue reading Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potato & Mushrooms
Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
It's been a pleasant weekend of hanging out with friends, getting few things accomplished, and enjoying cookouts. A lot of napping was had yesterday, too. Needless to say, although my weekend was productive in the capacity that I didn't lounge around at home for two days---it was also completely unproductive. I'm just now getting around to my… Continue reading Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
