Megan-simple four-ingredient parmesan-crusted chicken

This is my favorite lazy, parmesan crusted chicken recipe. It only has four ingredients, including the chicken, that perhaps already have in your kitchen right now! It’s baked but crispy, a little cheesy, and it’s virtually impossible to over-cook the chicken and make it dry. Are you ready?

Where, when, and how to hunt for morels

If you’ve never had the pleasure of eating a morel mushroom sautéed in butter, you need to go mushroom hunting. Like, now. Or at least the next time they’re in season.

Pesto avocado sandwich

A deliciously messy mean green pesto and avocado sandwich recipe

I had previously made a lighter version of pesto inspired by spinach and artichoke dip and I had to find a vehicle to drive it into my mouth. This was a a job for a bunch of green stuff for a big ol’ vegetarian sandwich in the making.

Extreme couponing: how to get your grocery store to pay you to shop

My coworkers kept talking about “extreme couponing,” and how they were getting full carts of groceries for only a few dollars. I felt like everybody was in on this huge secret, until my coworkers directed me to a few websites.

Lemons helped me go from meh to Megan-simple

We all know I can’t cook. But I’m getting better. The biggest thing that changed how I eat is actually a small thing: lemons!

Slow cooker green chile pulled pork: it’s a gift for Future You!

So… This pork. It’s great in tacos, nachos, or burritos. It’s decadent over cheese grits. I’ve eaten it happily in a bowl of ramen. I suspect it would be great in tamales. Put it in your quesadilla! Put it in your breakfast burrito! Add some to your huevos rancheros! Put it on small roll with shredded cabbage and call it a slider! Enchiladas? Sure! Eaten cold from a bowl straight from the fridge because you can’t even be bothered? Absolutely! It’s dang versatile, and it freezes beautifully. Make a big batch and freeze some. Future You will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Healthier-than-normal, no-bake, peanut butter banana cookie recipe

I love baking, especially when it’s sweets. But the only thing better than baking a fresh batch of cookies, is not baking, and still getting a delicious batch of cookies. This is a lightened-up version of my grandmother’s no-bake cookie recipe.
