When my parents were down here to help us move into our new home, my mom bought two big bags of catfish nuggets. We had planned to do a fish fry one night, but all of the work we had to do on the house bogged us down so we never got around to it.… Continue reading Catfish Po’Boy Tacos

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!
Meatball & Tortellini Soup
Happy first day of fall, y'all! It's officially, unequivocally soup weather! It's also pumpkin spice, hot apple cider, pie & squash weather. Fall is my all-time favorite season not only because of the food, but because of the crisp coolness in the air and the beautiful yellow and orange colors. I love everything about fall… Continue reading Meatball & Tortellini Soup
Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments. The restaurant came highly rated from all of our friends who live in the Yukon/West OKC area, and one thing they recommended was… Continue reading Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
I know I'm on an overnight oat spree right now. I get it. It's almost a ritual at this point. When I meal prep on Sundays, I make a batch of overnight oats for my husband. I did eat some of the apple pie overnight oats, but the last two batches I've made have been… Continue reading Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
I'm a big time lover of stinky foods. I've gotten in trouble eating tuna in a confined space at work before. I'll heat up broccoli in the microwave with no shame. I once got the boot from the newsroom for opening up a package of pickled cauliflower (to be fair, it REEKED, and I had… Continue reading Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
Mother Earth Bowl
Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl
Black Bean Omelette
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it's one that I usually take for granted. I've never really been a big breakfast person. 'Give me lunch or give me death!' was my motto as a kid. Now, I'm really starting to embrace breakfast culture. I'm diving into the whacky world of overnight… Continue reading Black Bean Omelette
End of Summer Salad
This is it. Summer's last hoorah. Oklahoma is taking the deep dive with the arctic front coming in from Canada tonight. We're not going to get too cold, but we'll finally feel those fall-like temperatures. That means no more sandwiches, wraps and salads. Instead, all of my summer produce will quickly be replaced by fall… Continue reading End of Summer Salad
Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
One of the worst things about moving out of the city is the lack of food options. I no longer live near a Crest grocery store. My favorite Thai food is at least 30 minutes away. There's a lack of options when it comes to Chinese restaurants. Korean and Vietnamese restaurants are non-existent. And I… Continue reading Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
I'm so happy the woman who lived in this house before me knew what she was doing in the garden. We moved into a fully functional, mature garden with tons of tomato plants and a producing apple tree. There's no way I could've grown those from scratch. I've got a black thumb when it comes… Continue reading Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
