Do you know what all goes into teriyaki sauce? If you buy it at the store there's all sorts of sugar and preservatives inside the bottle. I'm not one of those people who religiously check ingredients labels for corporation-made ingredients, but sometimes I do stop and take a peek. And let me tell ya, teriyaki… Continue reading Teriyaki Green Beans
Almond Crusted Fish
There's an unspoken rule in most workplaces: you don't microwave fish in the office. So what happens when fish is what you meal prep for the week? Do you bite the bullet and have your coworkers hate you for a few hours, or do you just save your fish for lunch at home? It depends… Continue reading Almond Crusted Fish
Italian Marinated Mushrooms
The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday. It was everything you could imagine: sparkly lights, loud noises, sweat-dripping-down-your-back fun. We stayed out there for several hours soaking in… Continue reading Italian Marinated Mushrooms

We'll get some storms, sure, but the exciting thing is the temperature dip---I hope. I'm ready to use my oven more. I'm ready to… Continue reading Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
Beef & Broccoli Salad
I can't believe I'm actually writing this blog post. The idea behind this recipe has been rattling around in my brain for months and I never acted on it. I finally got to work cooking and testing it when I got back from vacation two weeks ago. Then, I forgot about it again. I got… Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Salad
Margherita Chicken & Zucchini
I tried something new today. I turned my morning routine upside down. I'm the poster child of routine-following. I do the same thing everyday at the same times: 9-10 a.m.: wake up. Immediately grab phone and peruse social media 10:30 a.m.: actually get out of bed. Try to write a blog post/watch TV. 11 a.m.:… Continue reading Margherita Chicken & Zucchini
