I have about five minutes to write up this recipe post before throwing the kids in bed and pouring myself a giant glass of wine to curl up with something on Netflix or a book on my Kindle, but I HAD TO share this recipe for Instant Pot Lemon-Herb Chicken and Rice. I got an…

Cucumber Dill Salad: A Summer Side Dish!
Guys. YOU GUYS! It’s summer! (Unofficially, but whatever. I live in Georgia. Summer starts in April and lasts until October.) That means it’s time for Cucumber Dill Salad! Growing up in the South, it’s not uncommon for there to be a plate of fresh sliced vegetables in the middle of the dining table. Tomatoes, cucumbers,…
Spinach Pesto (Healthy! Delicious! Easy!)
Guys, I haven’t had my own kitchen in 3 months, and while not cooking every night seems like a dream, I really, really miss it. Right now, I’m busy planning our next kitchen, so while I’m doing that, I’m also planning recipes I’ll be making in said new kitchen. (I’ve somehow gained 13 pounds with…
Grilled Fish Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Dressing
It gets so hot in our house in the summer, even with the air conditioning running full-blast, that the thought of turning on my stove makes me break into a sweat. (Thank you, older home with poor insulation.) Suffice it to say, we’re big fans of grilling once the temperature starts to climb. And now…
Make your own Kettle Corn
Dan and I doctored our popcorn tonight (not a euphemism, bee tee dub) and it was tasty and I’m nothing if not giving so I thought I’d bestow this (not) great secret upon you all. And I readily admit that the title “Make Your Own Kettle Corn” is slightly misleading. You’ve been forewarned. We have…

Taco Corn Chili
I know it’s a million degrees outside, but sometimes, I just get a hankerin’ for a bowl of chili. Except sometimes I don’t want my traditional chili. I want Taco Corn Chili. That happened this week. And right now I’m too annoyed to see straight so you’re getting a recipe because food makes it all…
Store-bought boules are lame.
Hi! I’m in San Diego right now! WOOT! When I made a list of people to guest post, I had to include my husband. Because he’s good with words. He’s also good with food. Since I made this open topic, he decided to share with y’all his newest lover…err…obsession…uhh…talent. Yes. Talent. Today? He will teach…
Three Packet Pot Roast. So good you’ll wanna slap your mama
I’m totally a red meat kind of girl. Beef is God’s gift to meat-eaters everywhere. So, when good beef goes on sale at my local Publix, I buy it. And we eat it. And it is good. I was happy to see that Chuck Roast was on sale this week, which meant Three-Packet Pot Roast. …
Christmas Breakfast: Baked French Toast
Some of the beauty of the holidays are all the tradition surrounding the season. One of my personal favorites is our Christmas breakfast tradition. One year, 2009, I think, I made a baked French toast casserole and Dan didn’t like it (after two previous times when I’d made it and he’d sworn he loved it. Weird.)….
