Ok so if I told you I ate bacon ranch chicken pasta last night, you might think, “geez how are you not the size of a cow?” Or, “I wish I could eat unhealthy food like that and not get fat.” Or maybe even, “eeewww that sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen!” Because … Continue reading

Chicken Parmesan is one of the most popular Italian dishes in America (and rightly so, in my opinion). It’s just so good! That perfectly seasoned, fried, crispy breading on the chicken, topped with ooey gooey cheese and yummy sauce…what’s not to love?! Well, I’ll tell you what’s not to love…the calories. With the fried chicken … Continue reading
First off, allow me to apologize for the picture. I had to crop the top picture out of the larger picture below and then resize it so it’s not the greatest shot. And I know it looks a little burnt on top, but I promise it’s not. That’s just the black peppercorn crust. … Continue reading

Mexican Pizza. A dish that combines two of America’s favorite food types. Like if Domino’s and Taco Bell had a baby.

Oh my. This cake. Oh. This cake was just so good. Allow me to tell you about how this cake came to be. See, I live in the South where peaches are abundant. Every summer, us Southerners just go crazy with the peach recipes…or just eating them plain. Well, it occurred to me that peach … Continue reading
Today we take a look at the humble chicken: so common, so versatile. In fact, chicken is so common, one might even consider it “mundane.” GASP! Don’t talk about chicken that way! There are so many different ways to cook and prepare chicken, you could probably have a different recipe every night for months and … Continue reading
This is a very refreshing dish! Seafood, to me, is one of the tastes of summer. Not that I don’t eat it year round (cuz I do), but it just makes me feel like I’m at the beach or something. Plus seafood is just so much lighter than other meats like steak and chicken. This … Continue reading
