Dinner

Creamy Garlic Shrimp Toast

Sweet, butterflied shrimp in a garlicky cream sauce with a smoky paprika flavor are served over thick slices of buttery, pan-toasted French bread in this simple recipe for two! This sauce would be good over pasta, rice, or potatoes, but I think enjoying it like this is the best way to go.

Dinner

Blackened Catfish and Spicy Rice

A quick and easy blackened catfish and rice recipe. I like to serve this over a Cajun flavored spicy white rice. Although the rice is optional, the slightly spicy Cajun flavor of the rice brings out the taste of the catfish.

Dinner

Best Chicken and Dumplings

There's a lot of love in those dumplings! This is comfort food at its best and so worth the time and effort. I love the ohhs, awws, and OMGs, smiles, and sighs of total satisfaction that come with this bowl of heaven.

Dinner

Quick and Easy Tuna Casserole

This easy tuna casserole is quick to make. Perfect for the busy mom!

Dinner

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

This classic King Ranch chicken casserole is bursting with chicken, corn tortillas, tomatoes, peppers, and cheesy goodness. From what I hear, it's impossible to go to any sort of potluck in Texas and not see one of these.

Breakfast

Strawberry Banana Blended Baked Oats

These strawberry banana blended baked oats are easy to make, kid friendly, and packed with healthy ingredients. Everything comes together in a blender and bakes up into a perfectly portioned, delicious treat that tastes just like having cake for breakfast!

Breakfast

Chia Seed Overnight Oats

These chia seed overnight oats are a fun fusion between chia pudding and overnight oats. Vanilla yogurt and almond butter make this a healthy protein-rich breakfast choice. Top with fruit, nuts, and granola of your choice.

Salmon

Cedar Planked Salmon

This cedar plank salmon is a dish my brother prepared for me in Seattle. The salmon is moist, smoky, and by far the best I've ever eaten. I like to serve it with Asian-style rice and asparagus.

Salmon

Teriyaki Salmon

Teriyaki salmon is my husband's favorite dish. This recipe never fails to be a hit, whether we broil the salmon in the oven or grill it outdoors. Pair it with some homemade teriyaki fried rice to complete your meal.

Smoked Salmon Mousse

This salmon mousse is a great way to serve a gourmet treat to your guests. Pipe it onto cucumber slices, or spread it on your favorite crackers, bread, veggies — whatever you like!
