I can't believe I've waited 28 years before tasting my very first pierogi. Have I been living under a rock??! No...Polish food just isn't big where I come from. I'm so glad I've tried them now, though. I mean, is there anything possibly better than mashed potato stuffed pasta? What kind of glorious invention is… Continue reading Sausage and Pepper Pierogi Skillet
Jalapeno Popper Quesadillas
I'm the weirdo that goes to a cookout and brings some strange, obscure dish. You have to make an impression, you know? I don't want to be known as the Hot Dog Girl or the Condiment Girl. I'd rather be known as the Spanish Pasta Salad Girl! One thing that I can't get enough of… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Quesadillas
Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast
Oklahoma City has really seen a Renaissance of their food scene. It's something I try to hype up as much as possible---because outsiders don't give OKC a second look when it comes to our culinary abilities. There are no Zagat ratings here, every food magazine EVER just talks about how great Austin's restaurants are (insert side-eye… Continue reading Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast
Blackened Catfish Alfredo
When you live exactly 1.5 million miles away from the ocean, seafood can be pretty hard to come by....most of the time. Thankfully, Oklahoma adapted. No seafood? No problem. We've got the bottom-feeder catfish to sustain our fishy fantasies. The freshwater fish is probably an acquired taste to most, and most of the time it's… Continue reading Blackened Catfish Alfredo
Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
My circadian rhythm is all off. Waking up at 10 p.m. and going to work at midnight is a lot weirder than I thought it was going to be. I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be weird. And difficult. And slightly depressing. But I didn't think it was going to be this hard… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Corned Beef Hash Quiche
Everybody has guilty pleasures. Guilty pleasure TV shows (Keeping Up with the Kardashians, anyone?), movies, books---and food. Guilty pleasure foods are some of the more interesting in the world. I can still eat a cold hot dog with ketchup just like when I was a kid. I know some people who's guilty pleasure is baby food.… Continue reading Corned Beef Hash Quiche
Chocolate Banana Cake Balls
I've peeled potatoes many times in my life. In fact, when I was younger, I used to beg my mom to let me peel them. Peeling potatoes and snapping green beans were fun to me. I was weird kid, I guess. Since I've been peeling potatoes for the better part of three decades, you could call… Continue reading Chocolate Banana Cake Balls
