I'm a ribeye gal, through and through. When it comes to steak, I go for the fattiest, juiciest cut. Ribeye is supreme. I've been raised on expertly grilled ribeye steaks. My grandpa would cook them for us on special occasions and he used such tender, nurturing care to get them perfectly cooked. Medium rare ribeyes… Continue reading Cajun Steak Tips

Turkey & Green Bean Stir-Fry
There are very few meals that I make more than once. It's not that I don't like what I'm making, it's just that I'm constantly having to make new things so I can blog about it. Most normal people have a handful of recipes they keep in their dinner rotation. That's things like meatloaf, roast… Continue reading Turkey & Green Bean Stir-Fry
Three Cheese Pesto Pizza
Grocery stores have really started to branch out when it comes to their merchandise.

Severe weather season is slowly dragging to a close. By June 1st, we usually are out of the woods. June… Continue reading Sloppy Joe Pasta
Fried Cabbage Skillet Dinner
Growing up in the South, there are certain food staples that guide your life. Black-eyed peas. Lima beans. Collard greens. Chicken fried steak. Banana pudding. Fried cabbage. I grew up on all of those things, save for the last. Fried cabbage didn't enter my life until 2012. I remember it vividly... I was living in… Continue reading Fried Cabbage Skillet Dinner
Cuban Stuffed Pork Chops
Oklahoma City is lucky to have the choice of restaurants and cuisines that we have. A lot of people (food magazines, television shows) overlook our food mecca. You'll see nonstop chatter about Austin and Seattle, but nill when it comes to OKC. We've got a very large Korean and Vietnamese population here, and some outstanding… Continue reading Cuban Stuffed Pork Chops
