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. For my birthday this year, I went to a local restaurant and ordered their Steak and Smoked Gouda Alfredo. It was delicious. It features…
The Whole Box
Let’s be honest. Eating clean and healthy isn’t easy. All of the “Do Not Eat” lists and ingredient checks can become nerve-wrecking. Especially if you’re always on the go. If you’re strapped for time and are getting bored with your health journey, then this is for you! The Whole Box is a subscription service founded…
Hibachi Dinner at Home
One of my goals with this site is to show my Cookies how to make restaurant quality meals in your own kitchen. Call me crazy, but I truly believe anyone can cook with the right guidance. Good food looks intimidating. Especially, when the chefs are flipping eggs in hats, lighting fires, and juggling spatulas! Coop…
Boneless Buffalo Wings
It’s football seasonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! I’m not excited. Can’t you tell? My Saints lost last night. I broke a glass. I felt better. The end. It’s okay. This is only the beginning. Prayer changes things. Lettuce pray! Teams play horribly from time to time. That’s life. So, you’re gonna need a table of great food to ease…
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.…
Chicken Parm Pizza
Facebook made me so hungry last week I completely changed my recipe plans. I saw a video of a restaurant that combined two of my favorite dishes. Chicken Parm and Pizza! OMG! I had to have it! And the fun part is that the chicken is the crust! I knew I had to make my…
Golden Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
Who doesn’t love Oreos? They were on sale at the grocery store last week and I had to buy some. I immediately thought of you guys and decided to do a recipe with them. That’s the only reason that would keep me from eating them myself. I didn’t want to do the usual chocolate Oreo…
Unstuffed Bell Peppers
I love stuffed bell peppers. My family enjoys them too. I make them often for holidays and gatherings. But, I always notice that very few of my family members would eat the whole pepper. I’d see empty pepper shells on almost every plate. After I’d parboiled and seasoned the peppers for these ingrates!! Who am…
Southern Green Beans
Cookies, I’ve been on a veggie kick. I’ve been craving nothing, but green veggies. Thank God! Oh, hold up. NO, Coop is not baking anything in her oven, okay. That’s not why I’m having cravings. Cut it out. lol I love green beans. But, I don’t like them with meat. Strange? Probably. But, you know…
Chicken Salad
It’s hot. My attitude is horrible. I went off on my fridge, because it shot out crushed ice instead of cubes. Wasn’t the refrigerator’s fault. Hell, I’m the one who pressed the wrong option. I’m just HOT! Which means, simple and cool cooking ONLY! I’m giving you my legendary Chicken Salad recipe. Yes, I…
