Oklahoma City has really seen a Renaissance of their food scene. It's something I try to hype up as much as possible---because outsiders don't give OKC a second look when it comes to our culinary abilities. There are no Zagat ratings here, every food magazine EVER just talks about how great Austin's restaurants are (insert side-eye… Continue reading Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
My circadian rhythm is all off. Waking up at 10 p.m. and going to work at midnight is a lot weirder than I thought it was going to be. I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be weird. And difficult. And slightly depressing. But I didn't think it was going to be this hard… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
Our Memorial Day weekend camping trip was a (partial) success! For it being my first time camping in almost ten years, I made it out relatively unscathed. No sunburns, no major injuries, and only a few itchy bug bites later---and I'm back to living in the modern world. It was nice getting away from it… Continue reading Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
Shrimp Scampi with Pesto Couscous
I think I have everything that I need for my weekend camping trip. Tent, tarp, food, water, cooler, air mattress, lanterns, pump, Cards Against Humanity... All good on the camping front.

I grabbed a bag of shredded cabbage out of the fridge and poured about half of it into a bowl and then… Continue reading Tamale Meatballs
Cheesy Kielbasa Pasta
Pasta is easily my #1 crutch. It's just so easy to throw something in with some pasta and have a meal for days. Pasta is a simple starch that is long-lasting and versatile. I know it's also not good for you, but it makes meal-prepping so much easier. I'll be going on the Whole30 diet at… Continue reading Cheesy Kielbasa Pasta
Smoky Pork, Potato & Apple Bake
Have you ever visited a farm before? I'm talking a real, live farm----like Old MacDonald's---complete with cows, chickens, gardens and barn cats. That kind of farm. I got to visit one for the first time this past week: Providence Farms. The old farmhouse was cute and the ducklings and chicks were even cuter. The family that owns the… Continue reading Smoky Pork, Potato & Apple Bake
