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.

Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
I've come a long way since trying my first zucchini noodle. In 2016, I made a chow mein with them for the first time. I cooked the zucchini too much then and ended up with a floppy zucchini noodle.

Kielbasa sausage is so salty and wonderful in all of its glory. This is another winner… Continue reading Hot Coleslaw & Kielbasa Skillet
