Happy Eclipse Day! How are you celebrating? Staring at the sun? Hope you were one of the non-procrastinators that was able to score some eclipse glasses! I've tried my way bribing a coworker to bring me back some, to no avail. I guess I can try to make a pinhole viewer in the next few… Continue reading Caribbean Pulled Pork Sliders

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!
Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
If you were to meet me for this first time, and you weren't quite sure where I was from, there would be one dead giveaway: my affinity for Ranch dressing. I feel like the ranch obsession kind of originated in the South. I'm not sure the yankees up north have the stomach for it like… Continue reading Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
Roasted Veggie & Turkey Tortellini
The last few day of summer are waning. The heat has come back to Oklahoma with a vengeance. Late summer fare of corn, peaches, and Hatch green chiles flood the grocery store produce section.

The creamy confection that your Aunt brings tubs of to family barbecues. Banana pudding is the ultimate summer fare. It's so refreshing to dip your spoon in the banana-Nilla wafer-whipped cream concoction after… Continue reading Banana Pudding Bread
Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
It's been a pleasant weekend of hanging out with friends, getting few things accomplished, and enjoying cookouts. A lot of napping was had yesterday, too. Needless to say, although my weekend was productive in the capacity that I didn't lounge around at home for two days---it was also completely unproductive. I'm just now getting around to my… Continue reading Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
Texas Caviar Dip
Ah, the rain. Lovely rain. These past few days we've seen it rain almost non-stop. I'm okay with that. I pretty much hate the sun. Cloudy, overcast, drizzly weather is what I prefer. I would like to see some sunshine today, though. We're having our annual storm chaser barbecue at our Chief Meteorologist's house, and… Continue reading Texas Caviar Dip
