I’m playing restaurant wars again. When I can’t figure out what to cook, I think about my favorite dishes at different restaurants. Then, I try to recreate them at home.

Chicken & Spinach Stuffed Shells
Again, I’ve found myself with an excess of chicken in my freezer. Thank God for the overflow! However, this chicken’s gotta go. I barely have room for my frozen pineapple emergency stash. So, today, we’re making some Chicken & Spinach Stuffed Shells! I’m using cream cheese instead of ricotta. Because, everything’s better with cream cheese.…
Crawfish Alfredo
It’s okay to get lost in this sauce….just in time for V-Day!! My Crawfish Alfredo Recipe is bomb! Most of my best recipes are beautiful accidents. So, a little background on this dish. March 2016, my town and the surrounding areas were literally underwater. A massive flood! So, many lost homes, clothing, etc. But, thank God…

Crawfish Mac and Cheese
Lobster mac and cheese is delightful. But, here in Louisiana, crawfish is king, baby! I wanted to show you how I make easy, quick, and cheap mac and cheese! But, crawfish were on sale at the store, so ding, ding…crawfish mac and cheese! Watch me tease you…. Easy right? It’s completely sinful, but God…
Chicken Cavatappi
Heeyyy!! I took a few cooking recovery days off. I’m baaaaack! Making a requested chicken pasta. Chicken Cavatappi to be exact! I went to Applebee’s on Sunday and tried theirs. It was pretty good. But, you know, I love to battle them. So, of course I had to recreate my version for my Cookies. Check…
