I really don’t like people who say they like the rain. They are either liars or have a screw loose somewhere up in their brains. I hate the rain. It’s depressing, makes me sleepy, makes me cold. I could really do without rain. It’s been raining for a couple days here now, and I am…
Spicy Cabbage with Kielbasa and Mashed Potatoes
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe that’s my own. There are just so many delicious things on the Internet these days, it’s hard not to be a copy cat! A month or so ago, I found myself roaming the grocery store with no list, no recipe in mind, and no clue what…
Chicken with Sausage, White Wine and Artichokes
Whenever my Dad sends me a recipe, I KNOW it’s going to be a good one! I don’t think he’s ever made a thing I didn’t love. Artichokes have been one of my favorite foods since childhood (I know, weird), so when my Dad saw this recipe with artichokes for me and lots of meat…
Chipotle Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos
I started brainstorming this recipe because I wanted to enter a recipe contest. The secret ingredient? Chili peppers! I was torn between using fresh peppers or pulling out my yummy chipotle chili powder. So I decided to use both. I’ve been posting my photos and recipes on a site called Food Frenzy for a while…
Bowties with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas (or Hanukkah)! Ours was great. We got to spend a whole 10 days up in Massachusetts, which is the longest I’ve spent up there since I left 2 and a half years ago. Two and a half years doesn’t sound like long, but since I left I’ve lived in…
Jambalaya with Shrimp and Ham
I think everyone knows by now that I miss the South, I’m sick of cowboys, and I’m very ready to get out of this one horse town. Well guess what… my wish has been granted! In just a few weeks, we’ll be moving to Mississippi to continue pilot training with the Navy. Hooray! I never…
Sweet Potato and Lentil Chili with Kielbasa
This chili is so good, it’s even cat-approved! Yes, Cali is a bad cat and begs at the table any time she gets the slightest whiff of cheese, milk, tuna, salmon, chicken… I blame dad for letting her drink out of his cereal bowls. Teaching bad habits! She’s so cute though, how can you really…
Sage-Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw
This one is for everyone who says I only cook chicken! I promise we don’t only eat chicken. It just happens to be that when we have steak or fish (that rare occurrence, here in Oklahoma), it’s seasoned and grilled and doesn’t require much of a recipe. But what about the other white meat? Well,…
