Have you ever eaten a dish at a restaurant and thought, “I wish I could make that”. This is exactly what happened last weekend. We had a lovely weekend spending time with my husband’s brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. We don’t get to see them all that often, and it makes it extra sweet to see…

Baked Chicken Taquitos
I’m always on the hunt for dinner options that are fun, easy, and the whole family likes. These crispy chicken taquitos fit the bill. They are perfect served with a simple guacamole and pico de gallo. Baking these gives the crunch I was craving without having to deep fry and grease up my whole kitchen….
Easy Roasted Broccoli
It has been an exhausting, fun few weeks. We had company for most of the past month. My in-laws visited for a few weeks, my husband’s friend came to town for a visit, and then my mom visited for a few days. We battled sickness (thankfully before all the guests), visited museums and breweries, romped…
Honey Barbeque Chicken Wings
Is it ever too early to prep your super bowl menu? I think not. I must confess, my favorite part of most holidays is menu planning. I could care less who is playing, but bring on the endless appetizers! These honey barbecue chicken wings are going to be perfect for the big game in a…
Tex-Mex Stuffed Acorn Squash
Texas was hit with a cold front this week. A haul in the fig tree and succulents kind of cold front. It was glorious. We made a fire in the backyard, got to wear our cozy once-a-year flannel, and made this delicious fall-inspired dish. If you have not tried acorn squash, and are not too…
Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts
Introducing: your new favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts. I barely had time to take pictures before my husband and I ate all of these little gems. The bacon gets perfectly crispy, the Brussels sprout gets soft with a few crackling leaves poking out, and the tangy dipping sauce ties this dish together. Need I…

A delicious French Acadian meat pie sure to please your in-laws.
Gluten Free Fried Shrimp
I believe I have gushed about my love of gulf shrimp in a previous post, so I will not bore you with a second account of why and how much I love my favorite protein. Suffice to say, I try to work shrimp into our meal plan as often as my family will let me….
Turkey Burger Sliders
For those of you who have been following along, you know that here at True Food Katie we are highlighting September as Hunger Action Month. See my previous posts on Hunger Action Month, My Top 7 Budget Tips, and my recipe for 15 Bean Soup for more info on hunger awareness and budget friendly recipes….
15 Bean Soup
On Mondays, we eat red beans. This is one of the many lessons I learned while working for Second Harvest Food Bank in New Orleans. Supposedly this tradition comes from Monday also being laundry day, which was a long grueling task before washing machines. People needed a meal that was hearty, yet did not require…
Chimichurri Steak
Here’s the thing. I love having people over. I do not love that I usually get over excited and end up spending most of my time rushing around the kitchen trying to make the 8 dishes I planned to wow my guests. I grew up in a Southern home where you show your love in…
Spice-Rubbed Pork Roast
Since having a baby, my husband’s lunches have been neglected. It’s not that I expect myself to be some domestic goddess. I just love cooking and normally take up the bulk share of that particular task. He doesn’t complain and manages well on his own, but I’d rather he not eat oatmeal and peanut butter…
