Rob and I ate at a Chinese buffet for lunch yesterday. I used to be obsessed with Chinese buffets when I was a kid through college, but hadn't been to one in nearly three years. Now I know why. Y'all. I felt like complete crap afterwards! I stuffed myself to the brim with crab rangoon… Continue reading Chicken Fajita Bowls

Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
Rob and I held our first dinner party as a married couple last weekend for Cinco de Mayo. I was up early that Saturday (which is normal) and prepared for our meal: a taco bar with my delicious honey-lime poblano chicken tacos and regular beef. All of the fixings were pre-cut that morning: lettuce, tomato,… Continue reading Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
Wichita Falls, Texas, isn't on a lot of people's radars. It's never in any Buzzfeed list. You have to preface it with, "just a couple hours north of Dallas" when people ask you where you're from. Even the biggest names to ever come out of Wichita Falls (see: band Bowling for Soup) refuse to admit… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls with Ranch Elotes
Rob and I had an adventure yesterday. We went to Guthrie, Oklahoma to see my friend in a play (A Few Good Men) and decided to make a whole day of it. The play didn't start until 8 o'clock at night, so we went down early in the afternoon to walk downtown and go to… Continue reading Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls with Ranch Elotes
Mexican Street Corn Style Grilled Zucchini
A coworker and I were talking about our favorite foods this morning. "My favorite food is Mexican," my coworker, Alana, said. I couldn't really pinpoint down a favorite food, per se, but I could whittle it down to two different types of foods: Mexican and Asian. If you look at most of the recipes I've… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Style Grilled Zucchini
Poblano & Honey-Lime Chicken Tacos
Merry Christmas Eve! Rob & I had our Christmas yesterday, so now it's all about eating leftovers and playing with our gifts. We both made out like bandits! Rob's big gift to me I'm using right now: a new Chromebook! I'm in love with it and it's so much faster than my old laptop. For… Continue reading Poblano & Honey-Lime Chicken Tacos
Chile Relleno Soup
The lack of soups in my kitchen has been surprising. It's probably because we haven't had a bitterly freezing cold snap yet this fall/winter. When it's not cold, I'm not a fan of soups. I'm glad I made this soup this weekend, though. I had my final (!!!) deep cleaning on my teeth yesterday and… Continue reading Chile Relleno Soup
Chili Lime Catfish & Corn Tacos
Oklahoma City is blessed to have such a diverse cuisine range in its restaurants. We have a little bit of everything here; Southern homecooking, Korean, Thai, Indian, even African food. But one of the shining stars in the food establishment engrained in our city hails from the southwest side. Once you drive south of I-40,… Continue reading Chili Lime Catfish & Corn Tacos
Black & Blue Chicken Tostadas
Let's talk football parties. We're getting into the height of football season; whether we're talking NFL or NCAA. Before you know it, the Super Bowl will be here. Then spring games, then off-season trades, and then we'll do it all over again next year. Tailgating fans know BBQ is king. But what about hometown throwdowns?… Continue reading Black & Blue Chicken Tostadas
Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
We've finally gotten a break from the unbearable heat and it's a long one, to boot. One whole week of nice, cool 80 degree temperatures is exactly what the doctor ordered for this state! With the cool down and school starting back up again, I figured it was the perfect time to celebrate the waning… Continue reading Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
