Shredded Pork Tacos
Oh my word these are amazing! We are typically a 2 to 3 taco per person in our house. I had 5 and lost count how many my hubby ate! So good and easy since the pork is precooked and shredded from the weekend. (recipe here) To heat the pork I pan fried the meat with all of my seasonings and the crispy bits and tender meat was ridiculous good! Top with your favorites like avocado, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, queso, cilantro, whatever your palate desires! Serve with a side of black beans or pintos and enjoy!

Carolina Style BBQ Sandwich’s
You can’t go wrong with BBQ sandwich’s anytime of the week! Serve with slaw and hushpuppies and you have a perfect Southern meal! (Grilled Pork Recipe) There is a somewhat light-hearted feud that exists between the proponents of the two types of barbecue: Western style and Eastern style. What are the differences of the two you ask?

It is most common in the Piedmont (central) and western areas of the state. This style uses only the…

Famous Chicken Enchiladas
Now that I have your attention! This recipe is the most requested in my house and they are famous in my house and friend group. They can be made quickly if you prepare your chicken in the beginning of the week. Even if you make your chicken the night of these are quick and easy. The way you season your chicken is crucial as you don’t want bland, boring chicken. I season my chicken with S&P, garlic powder, homemade taco seasoning (different post), and a touch of Creole seasoning. I know it seems like a lot but it is amazing mixed with the green chilies in this recipe. I top…

Skillet Chicken N Biscuit Pie
Okay it isn’t fair to call it Chicken Pot Pie since there is no pie, so I am calling it Chicken N Biscuit Pie! This is so ridiculously easy and quick, perfect for a weeknight meal!

So on with the recipe! Again this is…

Skillet Black Eyed Pea Casserole
Another must try! Next time I make it I will season my ground beef & add minced garlic to the veggie mix. My cornbread was also a touch too dark but chasing a toddler around the house makes you forget to check the oven. Was a hit however and leftovers were gobbled up quickly!

Whole Wheat Honey & Banana Pancakes
Pancakes! What is there not to like? Bread like goodness with syrup! I have learned however, there is an art to making the perfect pancake and while I am not at perfection level by any means, I have discovered a few key points and created a fantastic recipe for tasty, fluffy pancakes! Anatomy of a Pancake (Written by Rick Martinez on Bonappetit) Flour and liquid create the structure in any dough. Mixing the two together develops gluten, the protein that gives elasticity to dough. When making bread, gluten is a good thing; it allows the bread to hold its structure and supports the formation of the gas bubbles created by…
