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...

Shredded Chicken Salad

In the warmer months, I try my best to avoid turning on the oven during the day. My house literally turns into a full-blown sauna as soon as I hit the “bake” button, and boy do I wish I was over exaggerating. My shredded chicken salad is the perfect lunch to enjoy while relaxing on...

Denver Omelet Bake

In high school, I went through a solid 2-month period in which every weekend I would go to IHOP and order a Denver omelet loaded with sour cream and a stack of pancakes.  Since I am no longer in high school and I have to actually pay for those meals, I now see the error...

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. Everyone has their own personal take on this cookout favorite. Some have added raisins, grapes, or even celery, but for me, I love a good classic. This...

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...
