No name-brand cereal.After experiencing the lack of what you need, you'll turn to replacements. Maybe you grab that weird, green spinach spaghetti instead of the normal kind.

Creamy Meatball Soup
I can count on one hand the "winter-like" days we've had so far this year. It's been relatively mild compared to past winters. We've lucked out and had many weekends of 60 degree weather. The grass has even started to turn green here; mistakenly thinking it's spring already. Once the Bradford pear trees that line… Continue reading Creamy Meatball Soup

We're in for a doozy today. It's severe weather season in Oklahoma, and it definitely feels like. There's a mugginess in the air that's only felt this time of year. The National Weather Service has put out outlook maps for today and the tornado potential. I love this time of year, but it's always a… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
