I LOVE Asian food. Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese. You name it, I’m totally into it. Lately I’ve really been into Vietnamese food and I’m excited to say that after a LOT of trial and error I finally came up with a noodle bowl recipe that makes me SO HAPPY. How can you go wrong with…

Taco Tuesday (or Wednesday): Baja Fish Taco Bowls
One of my dearest friends is having a BABY!!! I can’t even stand it I’m so excited! The other day I sent out a plea to my Instagram friends for recipe inspiration and she was the first to chime in. She and I share a serious love of tacos so I decided to get in…
Weeknight Warrior: Salsa Chicken Tacos
I’m going to let you in on little secret. Sometimes I just throw some chicken and a jar of salsa in the crockpot and call it tacos. Eek! But you know me, I can’t just leave well enough alone so I had to dress it up a little. All of the additions are things I…
Meatless Monday: Spring Pasta
Sometimes I think I could totally go vegetarian and be perfectly happy. Other times I want a big, fat, juicy steak and I’m not afraid to admit it. Oh well, I guess I’ll just compromise and do a vegetarian day or two a week, like Meatless Monday. Spring Pasta is the perfect quick, weeknight meal…
Passport to Flavor: Mole Colorado
Happy last day of 2017! We made it y’all!! I’ve been going through my recipe notebook frantically trying to decide what my last recipe of 2017 would be. Should it be something sweet?

Soup’s On: Game Day Chili
Thanksgiving is just 4 days away and all I can think about is a big bowl of chili. I’ve got my grocery shopping done, my cooking schedule made, and now I want to eat chili and watch football. Haha. Actually, a pot of chili is a great idea. Lunch and/or dinner is taken care of…
Weeknight Warrior: Pad Thai
Can we please make Pad Thai Tuesday a thing?!
Slow-Cooker Sunday: Short Rib Ragu
Slow-cooker Sunday for me doesn’t necessarily mean breaking out the crock-pot. In this instance it means breaking out a big heavy pot and letting the oven do all the work! I love taking the time to slowly craft a perfect dish on the weekends. There is something incredibly relaxing about dicing, searing, stirring, and bringing…
Weeknight Warrior: Smoky Shrimp & Cheddar Grits
Shrimp & Grits is one of those dishes that seems like it would be totally complicated when in fact it is super easy! It’s the perfect, quick meal for a busy weeknight. The key to really stellar shrimp & grits is to go all out with the shrimp. I love to stop at our local…
Old Made New, Classics Re-Imagined – Curry Chicken Potpie
I’ve noticed that a lot of the recipes I’m drawn to lately are classics. I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact that it’s October, there’s a slight nip in the air (between 80 degree southern days), it’s my absolute favorite season that takes me back to my small farm town…
