If you've never had "bang bang" shrimp before, you've missed out on an epic flavor journey. I believe the term originated with a restaurant chain called "Bonefish Grill" but you can now find it at just about any seafood restaurant (including Red Lobster, I'm pretty sure). All it is: spicy mayo. Basically. That's it in… Continue reading Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls

Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Chilly mornings have replaced the steaming heat here in Oklahoma. It's the best time of year when it comes to the weather, and yet it won't last long. You'll need to turn your heater on when you go to work and by the time you get out you'll have to turn the A/C on. Chilly… Continue reading Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Chili Noodle Soup
I swear I've tried just about every soup out there. Every fall I look for new soup recipes and the pool of possibilities continues to shrink. When you've had a food blog as long as I have (8 years!! Can you believe it?!) you run out of ideas quick. Luckily I've had some inspiration here… Continue reading Chili Noodle Soup
Greek Turkey Burgers
It's been a rough week. It may be y'alls Thursday, but technically it feels like Friday for me. While everybody was off barbecuing on the Labor Day weekend, I was at work. I hate when I add an extra day to my work week because I feel thrown off the entire week. I keep thinking… Continue reading Greek Turkey Burgers
Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
It's hard coming up with new ways to cook ground turkey. There's only so much you can do. Burgers, meatballs, spaghetti...after a while, it all starts to bleed together. I really racked my brain this past weekend trying to figure out what to do with my last pound of ground turkey. As it defrosted in… Continue reading Turkey & Potato Skillet Dinner
BBQ Chicken Salad
There's a great TikTok account that I follow called "Salad Lab". The woman makes famous salads everyday. The Kardashians favorite salads, the original Waldorf salad, Panera salads, etc. She'll include celebrity favorite salads--I think a few days ago it was Jennifer Lopez's favorite kale and queso salad. I get tons of inspiration from her account.… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Salad
Simple Red Rice
What's the side dish you always eat when you make Mexican food? Is it beans? Rice? Corn? Most people choose to eat rice with their Mexican entrees. Whether that's enchiladas, tacos, or tamales, rice just hits the spot when it comes to a nice Mexican dinner. Usually I buy the frozen, bagged rice that Trader… Continue reading Simple Red Rice
Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
I've eaten the same breakfast for more than a year now. 2 eggs. 1 slice of cheese. 2 slices of whole wheat bread. Make a sandwich, then repeat. I'm a creature of habit, I suppose. I like to have a routine in the mornings. If I don't, I'll just lay on the couch and not… Continue reading Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
A few weeks ago, I bought a big pack of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I typically grab a pack of the boneless, skinless version, but these were much cheaper. I divvied up the portions and froze most of them, but left one pack to make this skillet dinner. There's nothing quite like chicken thighs. They're… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
I feel like I'm quickly running out of counter space. I've got my cannisters, a cookie jar (that's consistently empty), an air fryer, a double-Keurig (one that makes a pot and a cup), toaster and knife block all spread throughout my kitchen. My kitchen isn't small by any stretch of the imagination, but I just… Continue reading Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
