Hearty Chicken Stew

Whoa. As the band Staind said "it's been awhile." It has been way too long since I have posted...I'm talking way to freaking long. I hope you all have been keeping yourselves and your families safe and sane during the pandemic. There is so much uncertainty and sadness in the world today and I hope…

Winter Beauty & Random Favorites

Happy Monday everyone! It's been too long. So...I have been seeing a lot of memes recently of people hating on the life updates and/or paragraphs describing why someone decided to make their Grandma DeeDee's famous chicken tortilla soup recipe, for example, prior to their actual blog post and/or content. And I just have to say…

Instant Pot Classic Goulash

This time of year has me hankering for a warm bowl of comfort food, curled up on the couch in a fuzzy blanket with Christmas movies on repeat. I am more of a Home Alone and Elf lover than a Hallmark channel gal. I know, I know. I probably just made some folks click away…

4-Ingredient Jalapeño Popper Cheese Spread

Tis' the season blog family! The holidays are in full swing and I can honestly say I am...prepared. Gasp. For the first time basically ever I have all shopping done, decorations up, presents wrapped under the tree and a damn partridge in a pear tree weeks before Christmas. Who is she? While I am feeling…

Simple Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

We are officially over halfway through the work week 9-to-5-ers! That means it's time for Vanderpump Rules re-runs and a "glass" of wine. Wednesdays also call for easy dinners that don't take hours to cook. The last thing I want to do after working all day is wait forever to eat. I'm perpetually hungry and impatient…

Bacon Corn Chowder

In typical Floridian fashion, the second it drops below 70° I begin to crave chai tea lattes, burn every fall candle from Bath and Body Works I own and bundle up in all the blankets I can find. This time of year just celebrates all things cozy, including hearty soups. Or in this case, chowders!…

Boozy Apple Punch

It's autumn ya'll! This truly is my favorite time of year. Aside from football starting up and my birthday (#libraszn), Halloween is just around the corner. I. Cannot. Wait. Bring on the pumpkins, spooky movies and coolish weather. The highs are still in the 80's here in Florida. But hey, it's 1000 times better than the blistering, humid…

Creamy Crockpot Chicken & Rice

There are two things I adore in this world. One being comfort food. Along with a good ass cocktail and my dogs. They are all tied for first place. Do not make me choose. The second thing being a recipe I can throw together with little effort and more or less forget about. So, when I can…

Blueberry Lemon Spritzers

Hey there blog fam! It has been a hot minuto since I have posted and I have missed it terribly. It has been a busy and super fun summer so far. I had a blast in New Orleans in May eating (and drinking) everything in sight. We had tickets to see The Rolling Stones at…

Spiked Watermelon Slushies

The weather in Florida has been absolutely amazing. 80° and sunny and I have been living for it! The warmer temperatures have had me craving an ice cold slushie. So when my boyfriend Mark brought home a hefty seedless watermelon the other day, I figured it was the perfect time to make one. These watermelon slushies are so…
