Since we've gotten a Costco membership, I've been shopping there once a month for meat. We buy meat is BULK. I get a big thing of chicken that will last me all month, ground turkey, shrimp, sausage, bacon--you name it. I've been trying to cut down on my grocery shopping trips and Costco is the… Continue reading Honey Sriracha Chicken

Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I just impulse bought a new coffee pot. It's a Keurig cup + 12 cup carafe duo coffee maker. I had to have it and it came at a decent price. You see, we've had our current coffee maker for the last year...maybe 2 years. I got it for $8 at Walmart because it was… Continue reading Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs are a real treat, but a real pain to make. You've got to get your hands dirty to mix everything together. You get them dirty again by rolling them up into balls. Then you've got the extraordinary task of cooking them---are you going to fry or bake them? Will they be cooked through and… Continue reading Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs
Chicken & Wonton Soup
You ever see a recipe in a video and think, "I can make that, and I can make it better?" Welcome to my world.

This is one… Continue reading Chicken & Wonton Soup

It can be, I swear! If you rethink your choices and options for ingredients, you'd be surprised at what you can do. I'm… Continue reading Verde Chicken Quesadillas
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I discovered the strangest thing in my spaghetti squash this weekend. The seeds had sprouted inside of the squash! I had never seen anything like that. How could they sprout with any sunlight? They were locked in tight inside that spaghetti squash flesh! I planted a few outside my laundry room door to see if… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Garlic Parmesan Edamame
I'm not really sure how to eat edamame. I typically use shelled edamame in my cooking. I love stirring it into stir-fries and rice. But whole edamame? It's a mystery to me. I bought a couple of bags of the stuff the other day at the grocery store, intent on figuring out what to do… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Edamame
7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Taco Lentil Soup
We had a great deal of snow fall this past weekend. Oklahoma is starting to look like most northern states this winter instead of what it usually looks like: a dry an barren wasteland. I froze my tush off and sat under my bird feeder to try an snag a shot of our resident cardinal… Continue reading Taco Lentil Soup
Dallas Cowboys Soup
This football season has been bizarre, to say the least. It's usually a big fanfare around here when August turns to September and football teams start to kick off. This year we weren't sure if that was even going to happen, much less if it should happen. We've covered game cancellations, COVID-19 test results of… Continue reading Dallas Cowboys Soup
