What says Valentine’s Day better than strawberries and chocolate?! The combination is a classic, particularly around this time of year. But I don’t know about y’all, but it’s been a challenge to find good strawberries in stock in my neck of the woods! This year, I’ve combined the classic flavor combination in a different wayContinue reading “Strawberry & Chocolate Cookies”

Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cake-Batter Cookies
Out of all of the desserts available to us in the world – and, yes, I know there are a lot – I consider myself a true fan of two: ice cream and cookies. My parents got my husband and me an ice cream machine for Christmas, so maybe, after we’ve had some time toContinue reading “Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cake-Batter Cookies”
Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks
I love a steak dinner. Ya girl isn’t one to go out to a nice meal and skip the steak to look like a lady with a salad. No, no, no. I like a nice steak. But let’s be real: I’m not buying filets for weekly dinners at home. I can’t afford that, and evenContinue reading “Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks”
Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta
I have been really wanting some pasta – but something different. Today, I decided to get a little creative with dinner. (Thank goodness it turned out okay because what else was I going to share on the blog today?!) I want to share a slightly spicy, veggie-heavy, light-sauced chicken and pasta recipe with you! You’llContinue reading “Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta”
A Sweet Summer Strawberry & Apple Salad
Here’s the truth, y’all. I want to be someone who LOVES healthy food. But I am really someone who loves almost ALL food. I wish I craved salads, but I think that’ll only happen if I’m ever dealing with scurvy. I say that, but I actually love fresh fruit and vegetables. I just need toContinue reading “A Sweet Summer Strawberry & Apple Salad”
Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes
Y’all, easy recipes are my FAVORITE. Let’s make it taste homemade, but EASY. (Anybody remember the Staples “easy button?”) One dish that I can save some time on is mashed potatoes. Sure, you might be like “duh, instant,” but here’s the deal – I don’t like instant mashed potatoes. I like homemade, creamy, lumpy mashedContinue reading “Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes”
Simple At-Home Charcuterie Board
People say charcuterie boards are just grown-up lunchables… and as a true 90’s kid, I am 100% okay with that! Before I jump into how I make my at-home charcuterie boards, let’s get one thing straight – the pronunciation! In every conversation where these come up, people STRUGGLE to figure out how they’re supposed toContinue reading “Simple At-Home Charcuterie Board”
Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken
I’ve recently pulled one of my old recipes back out to the forefront of my kitchen. My cheese + barbecue smothered chicken was a dish I made often when I moved into my first apartment and then was married to my first husband. I hit a rut recently, making a lot of the same dishesContinue reading “Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken”
Mexican Rice Bowls
I’ve been making these Mexican Rice Bowls for dinner often for over a year now – and I have no idea why I haven’t shared my super easy recipe! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook (and you should), you may have even seen these featured in a photo post, but I haven’t everContinue reading “Mexican Rice Bowls”
Pizza Crescent Rolls
We are a pizza roll family in my house. Maybe it’s because Jake and I are both 90’s kids and they’re nostalgic – or maybe it’s because we’re snack-lovin’ people… But no matter what the cause is, we’re a snacking crew when it comes to streaming shows or watching a game, and my easy crescentContinue reading “Pizza Crescent Rolls”
