If you grew up in/have ever lived in/have ever visited the South, you know that shrimp and grits are just one of those thangs. Everyone knows what it is, everyone has had it, everyone loooooves it (if you don't...come live with me and let me feed you various shrimp and grits recipes until you do), and many people have their own favorite version. The best shrimp and grits I ever had while living in ...
Cheddar and Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Oh my gaaassshhhhh these are so amazing. I'm going to be straight up with you guys, because honesty is good right? This recipe has been in my "to make" note for several months now. I thought it had potential to be tasty, but I mainly thought it would just be a nice, healthy meal. I never expected it to be anywhere near as delicious as it was. This ranks on my list of meals that I could literally ...
Meg’s Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders with Magic Sauce
I need you to understand something about my life right now. Let's travel back to Easter last year. Seth and I were still living in Georgia, and we had an AWESOME group of friends there. So on Easter, we all went over to my friend Courtney's house and had a big Easter feast. My friend Meg brought....THESE SLIDERS. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been almost an entire year since this happened, and I ...
Cheesy Mexican Rice Casserole
Hello, strangers! It has been quite a while since I've been able to make my way over to this little corner of the internet. Between holidays, SO MUCH TRAVEL, and less than satisfactory weather in Kansas (meaning dark and stormy every day) ((meaning photography = no no)), I have definitely had some issues bringing you three posts a week. But we had sunny weather this past weekend, and I was able ...
Fancy Schmancy Grilled Cheese
Um....excuse me while I have a moment with this grilled cheese. This. Grilled. Cheese. Is. The. Best. Thing. Ever. Yes, I have been known to say that a lot about many different things...but fo reals. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. I died when I ate it. I died and went to crispy, buttery, cheesy, flavor heaven. And I wanted to stay there forever. You know what I would wish for if I had one wish? I ...
3 Cheese Stuffed Garlic Crescent Rolls
Thhhiiiissss, this, this, this, this times a MILLION. These crescent rolls...are just so...so...good. And they are gluten free + vegan!!!! .... Psshhh....yeah right. These are the least gluten free/vegan/healthy things ever. I usually try and stick to healthy(ish) recipes on here, but I also like to step out of the box and make something fun and junk food-y every once in a while ?. Besides, ...
Quinoa Mac and Cheese
Let me just start out by saying that I was totally blown away by how much this tasted like actual mac and cheese. It tasted just like it!! Which brings me to the conclusion that mac and cheese is alllllll about the sauce. Because if it tastes just as good with quinoa as it does with macaroni, it has to be about the sauce, right?? That is my theory anyway. Which I obviously will have to test many ...
Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken Flautas
Okay I know that whole "lets bake this usually-fried-item in the oven and pretend it tastes as good as the original" game. I don't like that game. I have played it before. And I don't like it. So you should trust me when I tell you about HOW GOOOODDD these baked flautas are! I was very surprised how crispy turned out just from the good ol' oven. Yum. Just...yum. You know the kind of food ...
Healthy, Cheesy Taco Skillet
I hope you guys had an AMAAAZZZINNNGGGG 4th of July! Ours was filled with lots of red, white, and blue clothes, carnival games and food, amazing fireworks, a few beers, and - unfortunately - sunburns. 'Muuuurrriiccaaaaaa. So...this Taco Skillet. There are so. many. things. I want to say about this dish...first of all, it is probably in my top three favorite things I've ever put on The Garlic ...
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
OH my goodness. It has been....SO LONG...since I've been able to post. Can I just tell you about my life right now? We left Georgia on June 9th and drove about 12 hours, woke up early the next morning and drove the last 4 to Kansas. The drive actually wasn't bad at all - I was dreading it but it went by pretty quick! So then we got here on Wednesday, unpacked that day and all day Thursday, ...
