  • Bacon Wrapped Bourbon BBQ Chicken w/ candied jalapeños

    Bacon Wrapped Bourbon BBQ Chicken w/ candied jalapeños

    Hey ya’ll! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged a savory recipe because I up and opened a bakery… in my converted garage. It’s been a whirlwind finding my rhythm but I think I’m getting there. That being said, I’ve also brought in a line of products with my name on them because I believe…

  • Easy Scratch Chicken and Dumplings

    Easy Scratch Chicken and Dumplings

    We just didn’t eat chicken and dumplings when I was growing up. I don’t even think my grandma made them, but when I married my husband, it was something he craved and always asked for. My step mother in law taught me how to make hers, and I adapted it over time trying to make…

  • Jo’s Chili (no beans)

    Jo’s Chili (no beans)

    Honestly, I don’t get into the chili debate over beans or no beans. I do both from time to time, but this one has no beans. You can always add a can of ranch style beans to it and make it with beans if you just gotta have beans in ‘yo chili. This chili has…

  • Zuppa Toscana with a kick

    Zuppa Toscana with a kick

    I added a few things to this recipe, so that makes it mine, right? Truth be told, there are a lot of recipes for this soup online. All are pretty similar. I added some heat and some sun dried tomatoes to mine. It’s a favorite and since I grow kale pretty successfully in my garden,…

  • Turkey Cutlet with Red Wine Reduction

    Turkey Cutlet with Red Wine Reduction

    I’ve been making changes to our diet lately – trying to shed a few pounds – staying away from too many unfavorable carbs. *insert crying noise here* Anyway, it can get pretty boring when you cut carbs or calories, am I right? That’s why I thought this one would be different. I saw these turkey…

  • Easy Chicken Pot Pie

    Easy Chicken Pot Pie

    I’ve been making this one for my husband since we were a few years into our marriage. It’s been a favorite ever since. It has some shortcuts so if you are here for a scratch recipe, this isn’t the one. It’s perfect for the busy mom or dad, though, that just wants to get something…

  • Spaghetti Sauce

    Spaghetti Sauce

    I mean, who doesn’t want an Italian red sauce (or gravy) that tastes like it came straight out of someone’s Italian great grandma’s kitchen? Anyone? If you don’t want this recipe, then you must dislike red sauce. Now, this isn’t a weeknight project. It’s definitely something you have to let simmer on low for 8…

  • Chicken Fried Chicken

    Chicken Fried Chicken

    I don’t fry stuff very often, but when I do, it’s usually fried chicken breasts. This recipe gives you a juicy chicken breast surrounded by a slightly spicy and sweet crust. It’s been a favorite of my husband’s for almost 30 years now, so, yes, it’s tried and true! What you’ll need: Fried chicken; 4…

  • Salmon En Croute

    Salmon En Croute

    This is not my recipe, so I’m just going to link you to the recipe that I used. I did it exactly as instructed and it turned out perfectly. It was easy and can even be done on a week night! Also, it looks so impressive – like you spent hours in the kitchen. I…
