I'm a Trader Joe's fanatic. Oklahoma City got its first TJ's a few years ago and I've been making a weekly or bi-weekly trip ever since. Now, Trader Joe's is not my normal grocery store of choice. I usually go there to try out new things, peruse, or buy olive oil. Trust me when I… Continue reading Pork Belly Stir Fry

Mexican Cabbage Roll Soup
Soup's on in the Welcher household. Too bad it's 60 degrees outside. Our soup weather lingers somewhere between two days and a week, usually in January or February. Sure, we'll get cold for a few days after that---but nothing like normal winter forecasts for people living north of the Mason-Dixon line. I'll still eat a… Continue reading Mexican Cabbage Roll Soup
Buffalo Chicken Salad
How's your Wednesday going, Colleen? Well, I currently feel like my cat, Iggy: We're midway through the week but it already feels like Friday. This week has just drug on, and on, and on... I'm trying to make a snack for our work Super Bowl party on Friday but messed up the first version, baked… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Salad

California Club Wraps
I sure miss sandwiches. Grilled cheese, meatball subs...give me all the sandwiches. Sure, I make that keto mug bread every so often, but it's not the same. I love crusty bread sandwiches and subs. God, I miss carbs. The main way I turn sandwiches into keto-fied version is making lettuce wraps. I'm not pick when… Continue reading California Club Wraps
Chicken, Bacon & Mushroom Kebabs
Skewering things and cooking them is one of my favorite ways to make dinner. It's easy to put together and takes no time to cook. The best kebabs always have a protein (I've made fish, turkey, pork and chicken before) and plenty of veggies that go together. I like to skewer zucchini and onions; those… Continue reading Chicken, Bacon & Mushroom Kebabs
Chicken Biryani with Cauliflower Rice
Continuing the international theme this morning... This time I'm tackling one of my favoite Indian dishes: biryani. My favorite Indian restaurant in the OKC metro is Himalayas in Moore, and their chicken biryani scores high marks in my books. They also have the best gulab jamun (fried dough balls in an absolutely sinful syrup), dal,… Continue reading Chicken Biryani with Cauliflower Rice
