I grew up on boxed mac and cheese. It was a childhood staple and if we are still being honest, I will still grab a box at the store for nostalgia purposes. My daughter is following in her mama’s footsteps and still appreciates a bowl of mac and cheese. Lately, I have been making this […]

I love chicken parmesan. Crispy Chicken, melty mozzarella, and rich red sauce. Only thing that could improve this meal would be a basket of unlimited breadsticks… We were able to make this meal in under 45 minutes with the use of our Air fryer. If you don’t have one, don’t worry, this meal is easily […]

Not your mama’s Broccoli and Cheddar Casserole Broccoli, Cheddar, and Rice Casserole used to be the only way you were going to get me to eat a single piece of broccoli. They served the cheesy delight at this restaurant called The Black Eyed Pea. Do y’all remember that restaurant? They have all but closed down […]

I am OBSESSED with my new air fryer. Let me start from the beginning. So, I’m very hesitant to purchase new kitchen tools; especially ones that are large/ kinda clunky, on late night infomercials, and that just sound too good to be true. That’s why this one was purchased by my husband.

This cilantro lime chicken and Mexican couscous salad recipe is perfect for summer grilling, meal prep, or even quick weeknight dinners. The chicken breast begins to absorb the marinade in about an hour and the couscous can be served warm or cold. If you don’t have couscous, try brown rice or even orzo. This flavorful […]

This recipe features one of my favorite ingredients: Chipotle Peppers. I love the spicy, tangy, and smoky flavor it adds. In this easy recipe, the chipotle peppers are the perfect compliment to my homemade bbq sauce. I make the sauce in the blender and pour it on top of chicken breast in the slow cooker. […]

I am always looking for ways to adapt some of my favorite recipes and make them a little healthier;  soften the caloric blow if you will. There is always a place for the classic but there is nothing like a satisfying substitute! I feel I have found one in this easy recipe comprised of a […]

This baked ziti has become a go to meal for my family! It’s great for busy weeks, new moms, and for prepping ahead of time. It is also ideal for a dinner party as you can use the time in the oven to clean everything up. All you need is a big salad and some […]

I posted a tea cake recipe a couple years ago but felt it needed an update! Many recipes you will find use self rising flour. I personally don’t use a ton of specialty flours so I like that this one uses good ol’ all purpose flour. This recipe is incredibly simple. I almost always have […]

Now that season is back in full swing and the guys are traveling almost every week, I enjoy most of my meals alone. (My daughter is in a picky stage right now; more on that later) This cajun chicken pasta is a great meal to prepare for one. It can all be done in a […]

My slow cooker beef barbacoa recipe is something I am very proud to share. I have made this recipe 10+ times (each slightly different) before settling on the perfect method. It works in the oven but if you are busy and looking to let it cook all day, your slow cooker is perfect. In my […]

I feel like we get in a rut with our weeknight meals sometimes. I have my staples and unless it’s a recipe testing week, I stick with variations of my tried and true. This week, I needed something different from my typical chicken breast. I have been on a lemon kick lately. Lemon popsicles, lemonade, […]
