Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...
Curry Chicken Salad
Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...
Summer Fresh Corn and Zucchini Chowder
Alright, year-round soup lovers, this one's for you! The only thing "wintery" about this soup is the fact that it's soup...everything else screams summery goodness! The super fresh corn and zucchini particularly. The sweet pop of that fresh corn...you can't beat it! Frozen corn is a great substitute in those cold months when fresh isn't available, but the difference between fresh corn and frozen ...
Chicken French Dip Sandwiches
It is highly challenging for me to go to a restaurant, see a French Dip on the menu, and not order it. McAlister's Deli is one of our frequent post-church lunch spots on Sunday, and every time we go there, I peruse the menu, trying to lie to myself and pretend I'm actually going to order something other than the French Dip, buuutttt, alas...every single time, gimme dat French Dip, yo. They are ...
Dilled Cream Cheese and Cucumber Bagels
Have you guys ever tried the combo of dill, cream cheese, and cucumber together? Oh my goodness - it is flavor heaven. I'm going through a dill phase right now. I want dill in everything that I eat...everything. It is just so yummy and SO summery! I haven't ever gotten into using dill in the past, but suddenly I'm all bout that life, yo. I bought a spiralizer from Amazon recently. Well, ...
Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps with Mayo-Free Dressing
Ima not even tell you about my secret ingredient that makes this dressing super healthy yet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat/couch/bed/desk chair until I finally decide to drop the bomb of deliciousness that takes a usually mayonnaise and fat packed dressing and makes it good for your tum-tum. That's right...the suspense is growing. Meanwhile, since I'm withholding my dressing ...
Blackened Tilapia with Cucumber Avocado Salsa [21 Day Fix]
WHEW this has been a crazy several days! I have been trying to find a spare minute to cook, photograph, and post all week. I ended up having to use artificial light for these pictures because I kept getting homeย after dark, and I am writing this at 9:45 pm! Like I said...cray cray week. Craaaaaay. Okay so before I start going on and on about this DELICIOUS recipe, I need to talk about the next ...
Turkey, Apple, and Brie Sandwich with Apple Cider Mayo
Let me tell you a tale. A tale of my internet struggle this week. I have had multiple recipes ready to post all week and haven't been able to because my internet has been completely out. So you would think "why not just stay at work and post?" I tried this as well. Conveniently, every time I had extra time at work (before and after school) and tried to post, the internet went out here too. I ...
Croque Monsieur
Hello!! I have missed you all SO much this past week! And just blogging in general. Man, I knew I loved cooking and blogging, but I didn't realize until last week how HUGE a part of my life it is. I went through blog withdraws. I had so much fun cooking my butt off on Sunday and getting all prepped for this week! It was, however, quite exhausting. I felt like I was prepping a Thanksgiving ...
Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Cream Sauce
So we are on day one of our three uses of pesto! This first recipe using our "Perfect Pesto" is this amazing pesto cream sauce. I love this sauce. I could eat it like soup...seriously. And it is SO easy to make! As for the zucchini noodles, if you don't want to go through the trouble of making those, you can absolutely just use whole wheat pasta instead. The point of this recipe is the sauce. So ...
