I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

I'm a photojournalist for a local television station in OKC and love to cook (obviously). I'm four years removed from college (BA in Mass Communication) and I'm just trying to guide through my mid-twenties with a relative ease. We'll see how this goes!
Thai Turkey Salad
Anytime you start a new diet, it's critical to research what you're getting yourself into. I made sure to read up on what all I can and cannot eat on the keto diet before I started it for the first time. It's amazing how many carb are in certain vegetables, and the fruits I can… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food. I use the same toppings everytime, too: grilled peppers and onions, pico, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.… Continue reading Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump.

Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich

My grocery store constantly stocks the shelves with local and small-business-made items. I can find different types of Asian noodles there with ease. But my favorite find so far is probably the… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich
Garlic Chicken & Spinach
One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my silver fish. No, not the bug you find under boxes in your garage. I literally have a silver fish that sits on my sink. What's it used for? Getting terrible smells off your fingers. I'm talking garlic and onion smells. It sticks to your fingers, especially if… Continue reading Garlic Chicken & Spinach
Unstuffed Italian Chicken
It's a major pain stuffing chicken. First off, you've got to handle raw chicken. I hate the feel of raw chicken. It's like you're trying to wrangle a slippery, salmonella-laced fish with no scales. I make sure and wash my hands 27 times after cutting or touching chicken. Then you have the "stuffing" part to… Continue reading Unstuffed Italian Chicken
