The last time I posted a recipe for shepherd's pie, someone from England commented and said it wasn't a shepherd's pie. Instead, what I had posted, was a "cottage pie". So I researched both of the recipes to see if there truly is a difference. It's really just semantics. I found out both terms are… Continue reading Pork & Apple Cottage Pie

Oktoberfest Stew
Soup season is here, and it's here to stay for at least the next 5 months. I'm a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I'm looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread--there's nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT. I've already made a… Continue reading Oktoberfest Stew
Italian Sausage Soup
I like to get fresh vegetables whenever I can, but here lately my grocery store has been out of a lot of them. Things as basic as cucumbers, bell peppers, and zucchini have been in scarce supply. It's not like I live in Alaska, either. I live smack dab in the middle of the country,… Continue reading Italian Sausage Soup
No Frills Spicy Deer Chili
It's been a long time since I've had deer. I'm not a hunter and neither is my husband. Most hunters hoard (rightfully so) what meat they do end up harvesting throughout the year. It's hard to get your hands around deer meat around here. Luckily, one of my coworkers needed to make space for new… Continue reading No Frills Spicy Deer Chili
Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
I meal-prep my husband's lunches for the week. When I asked him what he wanted last week, he said "chicken and noodles". Bewildered, I asked him what that meant. He tried to explain it but I kept thinking chicken noodle soup. But that was NOT what he wanted! Finally, he pulled up a description online… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup
I know you've seen hundreds, if not thousands, of chicken tortilla/fajita/enchilada soup. It's one of the most popular soups on Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, and in real life. But I'm here to tell you this one is the BEST of the BEST. It's creamy, spicy, filling and cheesy. It's cooked to perfection and tastes absolutely incredible.… Continue reading Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup
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
Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
It's officially *spooky season* and that means it's also soup season. I adore a good bowl of soup, but I'm running out of soup recipes to make! I've made just about every soup and stew you can think of at this point. I guess that's what happens when you have a recipe blog for 8+… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
Cowboy Stew
The polar vortex is officially in Oklahoma. Yesterday the entire state was one gigantic skating rink. Today, the ice is a little bit better, but it's about 18 degrees right now with wind chills hovering right around zero. This is NOT my favorite type of weather. It's going to be a long, cold next few… Continue reading Cowboy Stew
Mushroom Bourguignon
Hello y'all! It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. The temperature will reach 60 degrees before the sun goes down, it's bright and sunny, and the birds are chirping. I understand most of the Eastern United States is looking at a completely different scenario right now. A lot of people are buried under feet of… Continue reading Mushroom Bourguignon
