Who needs a sandwich when you can have your grilled cheese floating right on top? This cozy tomato soup is creamy, flavorful, and the ultimate nod to comfort food season. Topped with golden, melty grilled cheese croutons, it’s everything you love about the classic combo just in spoonful form.

Mustard-Crusted Chicken Thighs

Crispy, golden, and packed with flavor, these mustard-crusted chicken thighs are the definition of simple done right.

Unbelievable Chicken Pasta Salad

Unbelievable is an understatement. This pasta salad is fresh, flavorful, and packed with protein. I choose Sanderson Farms Chicken because it's always fresh, 100% natural, no additives or fillers, and raised right here in the South. This dish is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for gameday (or any day you need a dish that disappears fast).

Baked Salmon

Y’all, this one is as easy as it is delicious. A handful of pantry staples, a quick whisk, and before you know it, dinner’s in the oven and your kitchen smells heavenly. Perfect for a weeknight when you want something light, flavorful, and fancy without the fuss.

Salmon Bowl

Here’s one of my favorite kitchen secrets: take your leftover salmon, add a few fresh veggies, and you’ve got a gorgeous Salmon Bowl that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant. Trust me, nobody will ever guess these started as leftovers.

Buttery rice baked in rich consommé with tender mushrooms makes the perfect side dish — simple enough for weeknight supper, fancy enough for company.

Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad

This is a dish that is so simple but feels so special. Chewy farro tossed with fresh herbs, pistachios, and a bright citrus dressing that makes every bite sing. I love serving it alongside grilled chicken or fish, but honestly, it holds its own as a meal. It’s fresh, satisfying, and just the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you’re dining al fresco in the city, even if you’re in your own kitchen.
