If there's one thing I haven't gotten the knack of in my 5+ years (!!!) of blogging, it's staging food to look as good as it possibly can. Sometimes, I get it right. Like the pictures I took of that steak salad with chimichurri dressing? Gorgeous. Other times, it's seemingly impossible. Do you know how… Continue reading Meatball Parmesan

Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
Taco & Pepper Jack Stuffed Bell Peppers
My week of "stuffed" meals continues today. I swear, this was completely inadvertent. I didn't intentionally plan to make a week of stuffed foods, it just happened.

Beef and Broccoli Ramen
Strange comfort foods have always plagued me. No matter how hard I try to eat healthy and try new things in the kitchen, I'll always come back to those pre-packaged, not-so-good for you comfort foods. I'm talking toaster streudels, Eggo waffles, Fritos with bean dip...and ramen. Ah, ramen. The little 10 cent packages that contain… Continue reading Beef and Broccoli Ramen
Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
Seafood in the middle of the country? Yeah, it's a thing. And it's delicious. Some restaurants around here, like The Drake, get fresh seafood flown in daily. These oysters were just about the most buttery, sea-tasting fresh things you could get in Oklahoma. We went to The Drake for a friend's birthday. I ate my… Continue reading Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
