Bacon Collard Greens

I am so excited to be sharing this recipe with yall today! Growing up in the Midwest, eating collard greens wasn’t very common. But in my 20’s I had collard greens at a restaurant and was hooked. I started looking up different recipes and molding them to my likings. Now, 7 years later, I finally mastered my own recipe.

Joanna Gaines' Family Chili

Ya’ll seem to love the Joanna Gaines’ recipe reviews, so I’ve decided to do another first impression review on her recipe for Gaines’ Family Chili out of her first cookbook, Magnolia Table. I’m not going to lie to you, if you have read my other reviews from this cookbook, you’d probably see that I haven’t been too big of a fan of this cookbook. With that being said, I was a little hesitant about trying another new recipe (and so was my husband). But what the heck, what could go wrong with chili?

Chrissy Teigen's Chicken & Dumplings

These chicken and dumplings are to die for! Making the broth from scratch and letting it simmer for hours really takes this dish to another level of flavor. I wouldn’t classify this dish as being incredibly hard. The only tricky part (for me at least) was when it came to the dumplings and not over cooking them. Don’t worry, I’ll give you tips and tricks along the way to ensure yours will turn out fabulous!

Joanna Gaines' Beef Stew

My husband defiantly lives up to his Irish roots when it comes to obsessively loving beef and potatoes, so picking this beef stew to make was right up his alley. I’m not gonna lie to ya, I'm not the biggest beef fan but I figured I’d give this a whirl. Chrissy Teigen has a beef stew in her second cookbook called Sleepy Time Stew and it’s the freaking bomb. So what the hey, let’s give it a try.
