Squash September is slowly drawing to a close, and we only have a few days left to squeeze out as many squash-filled recipes as we can! I can’t believe how fast his month has flown by…I feel like this whole year has gone by in a flash. Wow. Time flies when you’re having fun, eh? This… Continue reading Baked Butternut Pasta
It’s been a looooong week. I’ve had a ton of special shoots, edited a trillion stories for air on our multiple shows, and then just wrapped up working a 14+ hour day for the OU vs. Ohio State game. In case you missed it, OU lost. Badly. But that’s okay with me—I always root against… Continue reading Pumpkin Seed Brittle
Fall is finally here! I know I’ve been ready for it for weeks, but it really is finally here!

Those thick-cut… Continue reading Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Pumpkin Butter
I’ve been coming down with some crud all week, and it finally hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. It started with a scratchy throat, which quickly transpired into a stuffy nose, and then evolved into a full-blown cold. I can’t smell a thing. I’ve been doping myself up with sinus medicine all day.… Continue reading Acorn Squash and Swiss Chard Galette
