Fried Chicken Sandwich

If I love anything, I love a good fried chicken sammie. This recipe is a copycat version of the Chick-Fil-A version we all know and love. But as good as their sandwiches are, I equally love getting to go with one of my friends, bribe our kids to eat, and then they go play. We […]

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup is the cure-all for every mood. Are you cold? Eat chicken noodle soup. Are you sick? Chicken noodle soup. Going through a break-up? Girl, get ya a man to make you this chicken noodle soup. See, it cures everything. I’m totally kidding. But I can only imagine that this hearty, creamy chicken […]

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins

Y’all, I have a confession to make: I still have a freezer full of fruit that I picked over the summer. TONS of fruit. Blueberries. Blackberries. Apples. Fruit overload. In an attempt to try to lessen the amount of crap I have in my refrigerator, I thought I better use up some of the fruit […]

Lasagna

Let me start out by saying: this is THE best.lasagna.ever. So rich, so hearty, and so dang good. I had never made homemade lasagna prior to marrying Aric (it is one of his absolute favorites). It always seemed so hard and I am NOT a fan of ricotta cheese. But, being the good wife I […]

Apple Cranberry Pie

Thanksgiving is a couple of weeks away. How this even happened, I have no idea. It felt like 2019 just started a couple of months ago, and here we are, another year has come and gone. Though I hate how fast time seems to have been going lately, I am more than thrilled about all […]

Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread

Cornbread is one of those types of breads that I associate with the colder months that are filled with soups and chili and all things hearty. There are a million different cornbread recipes and some people like it sweet, while others prefer their cornbread savory. This recipe is definitely a savory version, but I have […]

Hamburger Soup

This time of year is kind of blah in the PNW. The time has changed and feels like it is midnight at 4:30 pm. It is gloomy and rainy all day long. And, it is cold. Because of this kind of weather, my heart (and tummy) craaaave soup. Gimme all of the soups! I love […]

Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches cake, which translates to “three milks” cake, is one of my favorite cakes to make. It is also one of my favorite cakes to eat. While meal prepping before Aric returned from his deployment, I just K N E W I had to make this naughty thing. If you were to ask him, […]

Corn Casserole

The holidays are around the corner. Halloween has come and gone, then it’s Thanksgiving later this month, Christmas, and then a new year will be here. One of my favorite parts of the holidays is to be with family, continue traditions for my own family, and well, let’s face it, the food. Holiday food is […]

Croissant French Toast

My husband’s all-time favorite breakfast food is French toast. Sometimes, I find that French toast can get boring and kind of, well, soggy. So, I decided to try and mash up two French items together. Croissants and French toast? Seems like a no-brainer to me. It turned out better than expected and I may not […]
