Hello, all! It's been a hot minute since my last post. There's good reason for that...or, actually, a bad reason for that: I had coronavirus. I've been bed-ridden for more than a week and only just now started to feel better. I'm one of the lucky ones, though. I had a relatively mild case and… Continue reading Italian Beef Stew

Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
I've been having a ball on TikTok lately making recipe videos. If you have TikTok, and want a more visual representation of my recipes, follow me at "modfarmgirl". It's reinvigorated my creativity in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I've always had a creative streak when it comes to cooking, but now I'm finding all… Continue reading Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
Meatball & Tortellini Soup
Happy first day of fall, y'all! It's officially, unequivocally soup weather! It's also pumpkin spice, hot apple cider, pie & squash weather. Fall is my all-time favorite season not only because of the food, but because of the crisp coolness in the air and the beautiful yellow and orange colors. I love everything about fall… Continue reading Meatball & Tortellini Soup
Black Bean Omelette
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it's one that I usually take for granted. I've never really been a big breakfast person. 'Give me lunch or give me death!' was my motto as a kid. Now, I'm really starting to embrace breakfast culture. I'm diving into the whacky world of overnight… Continue reading Black Bean Omelette
Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
One of the worst things about moving out of the city is the lack of food options. I no longer live near a Crest grocery store. My favorite Thai food is at least 30 minutes away. There's a lack of options when it comes to Chinese restaurants. Korean and Vietnamese restaurants are non-existent. And I… Continue reading Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
I'm so happy the woman who lived in this house before me knew what she was doing in the garden. We moved into a fully functional, mature garden with tons of tomato plants and a producing apple tree. There's no way I could've grown those from scratch. I've got a black thumb when it comes… Continue reading Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
We're getting closer and closer to moving into our first house. This whole closing period has been the most stressful event ever, and I'm ready to get it done and move out into the country. Rob and I will be moving to the outskirts of a small town I fell in love with many years… Continue reading Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
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
Steakhouse Spinach Salad
I've been perusing my enormouse collection of old cookbooks lately hoping something will inspire me. After scrolling through Pinterest for so long, all of the recipes start to look the same. My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad
Persian Chicken Salad
We're starting to get into my favorite time of year: early summer. It's not too hot, not too cold, and thunderstorms are forecast for just about everyday of the week. It's the perfect weather to eat fresh fruit, sip on watermelon coolers, and eat a big bowl of salad for dinner. I've got a thousand… Continue reading Persian Chicken Salad
