When I was about 9, there was this local seafood restaurant my family and I would frequent. Don’t worry. You know I’m not a typical blogger so this lil story will be brief.

Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe
My cousin, Shantel, called me last week. “Hey! I don’t see a Shrimp Fettuccine recipe on your YouTube channel. Can you do one?” Uhhh, YES! I’m so happy she called, because I needed a pasta recipe. Why not a classic?? This Alfredo sauce is pretty universal. It’s my staple white sauce recipe. It’s absolutely delicious…
Southwestern Egg Rolls Recipe
Every time my family goes to Chili’s we order at least 3 plates of their Southwestern Egg Rolls! We tear those things up. I had to recreate them at home. And I think I got pretty dang close. These egg rolls have never been very appealing to me. I’ve only recently tried them for the…

Country Fried Steak Recipe
Is it Chicken Fried Steak or Country Fried Steak? I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter. We can just call it GOOD! I’ll be honest, this meal is 50,000 calories. But, boy, is it worth it! Any thinly sliced steak is good to use. I prefer cube steak. Cube steak is just tenderized round steak.…
