I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and shrimp & grits was not a common meal to be found. A couple years ago, I stumbled across this recipe by Ayesha Curry and it blew me away. It is extremely easy to make and is jam-packed with flavor.

I’ve been recently loving me some Jessie James Decker recipes and wanted to give another one a try! People have also been loooooving all my JJD recipe posts so I figured one more wouldn’t hurt.

Chrissy Teigen did a cook with me on her Insta-Stories back in February of 2019 and made these BBQ Chicken Burgers. I screen-shoted (is that a word?) all the ingredients/steps she posted and tried these bad boys out..

People have been loving these Jessie James Decker recipes, so I figured I would try a new one out from her book, Just Jessie, and give ya’ll my first impression! Fall has just arrived which means FOOTBALL!

Who doesn’t love a good enchilada?? I figured this recipe would appeal to a lot of people and is a quick easy meal for my third first-impression recipe out of Joanna Gaines' cookbook, MagnoliaTable.

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. 

Try not to be intimidated by this meal, it is really not that hard to achieve and freaking delicious! I can’t figure out what I like more, the stuffed goat cheese and cream cheese mixture or that it’s wrapped in prosciutto... ugh and don’t forget about the cherry tomatoes! Okay it’s all great.

Every momma needs to be able to make a meannn chicken noodle soup for their sick babies at home, and I have just the recipe for that! Chicken noodle soup is one of the easiest soups you can make but can be very easy to make bland and boring.

Girrrrlll, this recipe is a piece. of. cake. It’s quick, it’s simple and it’s good. What more could you want? I paired it with Chrissy Teigen’s Garlicy Sautéed Spinach and Smashed Potatoes out of her Cravings, Hungry for More cookbook and it was just the right amount of food for a tasty meal.

This is by far one of my favorite go-to meals by Ayesha Curry! It’s SUPER easy, quick and guarantee the family will love it! I love me a good apple and pork combo. This recipe gives you the perfect amount of savory and sweet and makes for darn good left-overs. But my favorite thing about this recipe is it gave me a new and easy way to cook pork! Check it out below! 

 THIS. COBB. SALAD. Holy nutcrackers, this salad is amazing. How can a SALAD be so good?? I know, I thought the same thing. But gosh darn it, it is amazing. The combo of the seasoning on the chicken and the unbelievable dressing, makes it for a match made in heaven.
