I've been experimenting with making my own seasonings from scratch. So far, I've made taco seasoning, chili-lime seasoning, and some other more simple blends. I know it's cheap and convenient to just by those little one ounce bags of the pre-made seasonings, but you never know what comes along with it---hidden sugars? MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies
I've come a long way since trying my first zucchini noodle. In 2016, I made a chow mein with them for the first time. I cooked the zucchini too much then and ended up with a floppy zucchini noodle.

The one from Mean Girls...where Regina George asks, "is butter a carb?" and the next cut screen on the internet image shows Paula Deen with the caption, "butter is everything, b*tch."… Continue reading Cowboy Butter Chicken With Zucchini Noodles
It's a cool, brisk 60 degrees outside. We had a cold front blow in Friday and it appears as if it is here to stay. Rob and I have been burning our Bath & Body Works fall candles (pumpkin pecan waffles for the win!) and getting into the fall spirit. We only have about a… Continue reading Southwestern Squash Casserole
