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

Skillet Ranch Veggies
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
Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
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 dish still tasted okay, but the texture threw me for a loop. Fast forward to… Continue reading Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
Pesto Shrimp & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
Since our epic snow storm busted over the course of 24 hours, I found myself with nothing to do this weekend. I cleaned. I played around with some makeup. I made chex mix. I entertained the cats. That was all before 9:24 a.m. yesterday. What the heck was I going to do for the rest… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
30 Minute Sheet Pan Sausage Dinner
We're in for the home stretch for the holiday week. Thanksgiving is in t-minus three days, and most people are planning on heading home to spend the holiday with their loved ones. Not me, though. I really wanted to get Christmas off this year and that meant foregoing Thanksgiving. I'm okay with that. I've worked… Continue reading 30 Minute Sheet Pan Sausage Dinner
Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Zucchini
I've been up since about 2:45 this morning. What have I been doing in the 3ish hours I've been up? Freaking myself out by watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I remember watching this show as a kid with my mom and scaring myself to death. Once, there was an episode about a man spontaneously… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Zucchini
Cowboy Butter Chicken With Zucchini Noodles
I've been thinking about butter this morning. I don't know why, but an old meme popped into my head randomly a few hours ago. 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
Southwestern Squash Casserole
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
Chicken Teriyaki Zoodles
I am straight up exhausted. Flip-flopping my schedule has been harder than I thought. I worked until 11 last night, then woke up at 7 to go to a doctor's appointment today---and will go to bed at around 4 in the afternoon so I can get up at 2 am tomorrow morning. Ugh. Despite the… Continue reading Chicken Teriyaki Zoodles
Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
I woke up to the sun beaming outside of my window for the first time in, well, forever. I've disrupted my normal schedule to help fill in working a normal person shift for the first part of this week. It's a nice change of pace. Being awake during the day is---different. I've gotten so used… Continue reading Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
