It can be, I swear! If you rethink your choices and options for ingredients, you'd be surprised at what you can do. I'm… Continue reading Verde Chicken Quesadillas

7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner

Margherita Chicken & Zucchini
I tried something new today. I turned my morning routine upside down. I'm the poster child of routine-following. I do the same thing everyday at the same times: 9-10 a.m.: wake up. Immediately grab phone and peruse social media 10:30 a.m.: actually get out of bed. Try to write a blog post/watch TV. 11 a.m.:… Continue reading Margherita Chicken & Zucchini

But you can only dress up chicken so much before getting real tired of it. That's why I've been doing different… Continue reading Summer Chicken Skillet

Roasting vegetables is the… Continue reading Balsamic Roasted Zucchini & Mushrooms
Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
We're in for a doozy today. It's severe weather season in Oklahoma, and it definitely feels like. There's a mugginess in the air that's only felt this time of year. The National Weather Service has put out outlook maps for today and the tornado potential. I love this time of year, but it's always a… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Skillet
I've developed this new routine that's starting to get problematic. Since I've had to completely uproot my schedule--moving off of working the graveyard shift to now working 1pm-10pm---I've had to develop new routines and schedules. I eat my dinner now around 6-6:30, which is a pretty normal time to eat dinner for most people. But… Continue reading Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Skillet
