Do y’all ever have those moments when you have to make dinner, but can’t don’t want to get up from binge watching Chopped/Grey’s Anatomy/Top Chef/House of Cards/OITNB? Story. of. my. life. I’ve got y’all covered on this one. I’m sharing my favorite dinner-for-one recipe– Chicken Pot Pie for One. I’m sure none of you know…

Crispiest Baked Potato Wedges
Short and sweet– I got tired of people always promising recipes of crispy baked this — crunchy baked that — only to try it out and get the same ehhhhh results. Problem solved! A quick and easy recipe that will give you the crispiest baked wedges that you’ve ever had. The secret is quite literally in…
World’s Best Brussels Sprouts
It may surprise all of you that I was never the kid that just begged for more greens on my plate. I would qualify a couple (literally) green beans as having my share of vegetables that I was required. Logically, I still think I was in the right. I still prefer a plate of monotoned…
Perfect Pickled Red Onions
I’ve always been weary of pickling anything myself at home. That all ended when I came home with a ridiculously large bag of loot from the local farmer’s market. Squash, onions, something called salt and pepper cucumbers (addictive, btw). I sorta may have possibly gone a bit overboard. A little of this, some of that. You know…

Southern Creamed Spinach

Cajun Fried Okra
Okra, okra, okra, okraaaaa! I think if I were to go to prison for some food crime (like hating rhubarb, probably), fried okra would be part of my last meal. Growing up, I preferred this stuff over McD’s fries any day. Turns out, nothing has really changed with regard to that. Since we are all…
Brown Butter Butternut Cream Pasta
It’s almost that time, y’all! Start putting together your Halloween costumes, mull the cider, spice up your lattes. The chlorophyll is breaking down in the leaves </nerd>… Fall is just around the corner! While I do enjoy the summer heat (for all of about 2 weeks at the beach if we are honest here), the crisp breeze around…
Toasted Coconut Carrot Cake
Everyone likes carrot cake. Everyone. If you met someone that says they don’t, well, they haven’t had it or aren’t really your friend. With that said, I hate to admit that I had never attempted to make one myself. I know… the shame! I’ve always loved the bit of sweetness in the frosting balanced…
{Crispy} Sweet Potato Fries
There isn’t anything that I despise more than a floppy, bland french fry. Well… maybe not having any french fries. But, anyway… Anyone that knows me knows that I am a french fry addict. I’m talkin’ round up all the family and friends, drag me into a surprise intervention and then ship me off to a…
