Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Bachelorette party was a success! My friends and I traveled down to WinStar casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. That's a sprawling casino and resort near the Oklahoma-Texas border. I had never gambled before, but I was in the presence of one of the best gamblers (my friend Jordann). My best friend drove up from Austin, and another bestie from… Continue reading Farmers Market Stew
We don't eat a lot of fast food anymore. The older your get, the less appealing drive-through fast food is. I remember being in college and devouring a plate of nachos bell grande at 2 in the morning. If I did that now, it would not end well. The only "fast food" I partake in---albeit in a… Continue reading Copycat Panda Express Mushroom Chicken
It's spooky movie season in the Wilson-Welcher household. Rob and I went to see "It" Friday evening, and while not really scary for me, it was still creepy.

Fall is pretty much in full swing in Oklahoma. The return of the PSL marks the annual awakening of the inner fall-lovers in all of us. I have… Continue reading Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Cake

Instead of playing a few songs and then a quick, 2-minute-ish commercial break, they play six songs and then have a seven minute long commercial break. If I'm unfortunate enough to get stuck with that… Continue reading Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini
Yesterday was the first meteorlogical day of fall. Yes, that is a real thing. You can ask my morning meteorologist, Marcy. It's a real thing. It's like the "first day of summer" being June 21st...which is like two months after summer really begins here in Oklahoma. Colleen's first day of fall was about 3 weeks… Continue reading Roasted Chipotle Butternut & Chicken Bowl
