Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Leg Quarters
I am a huge fan of baked chicken. It’s easy, delicious, and tender. All I have to do is pop it in the oven and go about my business. I don’t have to hover over a pot of boiling grease, it’s a pop in the oven and then poof, tasty dinner. As much as I...
Brioche French Toast
True Life: I am addicted to brunchin’. Nothing compliments a nice relaxing end to the weekend like Sunday brunch. Brunch, mimosas, and good friends help get me rejuvenated for the week ahead. Throughout the work week I barely have time to eat breakfast, let alone a sit-down meal. French toast is that one dish that...

Southern-Style Potato Salad
It’s summertime which means holidays, cookouts, and backyard parties. The grills will be out and sides will be needed. Nothing completes a BBQ like southern style potato salad.

Best Ever Guacamole
You won’t believe me if I told you this now, but….*whispers under breath* I once hated avocados. I feel ridiculous for admitting this now. As a kid, avocados weren’t typically on the menu in my household, so I did what most kids did, labeled it as “gross” for no valid reason. It wasn’t until college...
