I'm so glad Oklahoma is back to normal. After a two-week deep freeze, the ground is thawed and the temperature is rising. I can go back to living my normal life instead of huddling under blankets and wearing gloves inside at my desk. It's wonderful being above freezing, and something I always took for granted...… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad

Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Who's here for a delicious buffalo chicken recipe? Good, good. I've got a winner with this one. If buffalo-style ANYTHING is your cup of tea, you're in luck. I put as much buffalo and ranch flavor in this salad as I could. Sorry, no blue cheese here. I thought about putting blue cheese crumbles inside,… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Turkey & Wild Rice Salad
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Our small, pandemic-fied Christmas meant it was just me and my husband over the holidays. I don't really know how to just cook for two, so I have a TON of leftover right now. I've been repurposing them when I can. My husband will be eating Shepherd's… Continue reading Turkey & Wild Rice Salad
Greek Chicken and White Bean Salad
Anyone else hoarding cans of beans right now? It's the perfect time of year to do that. You need beans for just about any soup you want to make, so why not have a stash in your pantry during the cooler months?

Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments. The restaurant came highly rated from all of our friends who live in the Yukon/West OKC area, and one thing they recommended was… Continue reading Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
End of Summer Salad
This is it. Summer's last hoorah. Oklahoma is taking the deep dive with the arctic front coming in from Canada tonight. We're not going to get too cold, but we'll finally feel those fall-like temperatures. That means no more sandwiches, wraps and salads. Instead, all of my summer produce will quickly be replaced by fall… Continue reading End of Summer Salad

Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
You all probably know by now how obsessed I am with pork tenderloin. I've been buying it up in bulk at the grocery store lately because it has been on sale. That's why you've seen so many recipes on here using the delicious cut of pork. I couldn't find any regular, unflavored tenderoin at the… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
Steakhouse Spinach Salad
I've been perusing my enormouse collection of old cookbooks lately hoping something will inspire me. After scrolling through Pinterest for so long, all of the recipes start to look the same. My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad
Persian Chicken Salad
We're starting to get into my favorite time of year: early summer. It's not too hot, not too cold, and thunderstorms are forecast for just about everyday of the week. It's the perfect weather to eat fresh fruit, sip on watermelon coolers, and eat a big bowl of salad for dinner. I've got a thousand… Continue reading Persian Chicken Salad
