Before you ask, no, I don't know who Betty is. I'm one of those people who writes down recipes every chance I can get. I've been doing it for almost 10 years, and I've got recipes coming out of my ears. Most of the recipes I've written down came from my mom, grandma, or Aunt.… Continue reading Betty’s Chicken Salad

Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Some of the best green beans you'll ever taste in your life are the ones that are pan-fried with bacon. It's a classic green bean recipe that most everyone knows. Bacon, onion, and green beans all come together for the perfect side dish. But what if you could make a version of that...but better? That's… Continue reading Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Hot Chicken Salad
There's something about classic casserole recipes that just puts my mind at ease. Chicken and rice will instantly make my day better. Chicken spaghetti will fill me up with warmth and happiness. Stuffed shells or manicotti will make me dream of better days. One thing I've noticed in a lot of vintage cookbooks is something… Continue reading Hot Chicken Salad
Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Casserole
I've been feverishly combing through ancient cookbooks looking for the perfect dinner recipe. It's what I do when I don't have any inspiration for weeknight meals. I'll grab a few cookbooks off my bookcase and then flip through the pages until something catches my eye. There's a "Butter 'N Love" cookbook from the 1970's that's… Continue reading Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Casserole
Popover Pizza
"Butter 'n Love Recipes" is a cookbook I've been reading over the last several days. It comes from Iowa Park, Texas (where I grew up) and includes recipes submitted by members of the Christ the King Ladies Auxillary. I've already made a handful of the recipes that are tucked away in its yellowed pages, and… Continue reading Popover Pizza
Prairie Fire Dip
Anyone else completely exhausted after the Fourth of July weekend? I spent way too much time outside in the sun. I only have a few tiny sunburns where I didn't put sunscreen on all that well, but all that time spent outside wore me out. Hopefully your Fourth of July weekend was just as fun… Continue reading Prairie Fire Dip
Colossal Chicken Salad
By now you probably know that I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've got cookbooks stashed in every nook and cranny of my house. There's two huge bins plus one gigantic bookshelf packed full of cookbooks. I keep buying new ones even though I have no idea what to do with them. I may have a… Continue reading Colossal Chicken Salad
King Ranch Chicken Soup
Ok y'all, I think this is it. I think this is my last soup recipe of the year. I've made a TON of soup recipes this year because of how cold it's been. It's officially the first meteorological day of Spring (spring equinox is in 20 days) and it's March 1st, so I think that… Continue reading King Ranch Chicken Soup
Cherry Eggnog Bread
Baking is not my first passion. It's also not my second, third, or fourth passion. It's not even on my "passion" list at all. I'm not the greatest baker in the world. Even with all the gizmos and gadgets to help in the kitchen, more often than not my baking experiments fail. Cakes come out… Continue reading Cherry Eggnog Bread
Chicken Taco Casserole
I cannot get enough of this vintage cookbook I rediscovered in my collection. It's a compilation of recipes from women who attended the First United Methodist Church in Burkburnett, Texas in 1977. I started out cooking a knockoff KFC chicken recipe from the book for TikTok. After that, I was hooked. There are so many… Continue reading Chicken Taco Casserole
