I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa

Shrimp Fajita Pasta
My pursuit of a good pasta substitute continues today. I've tried just about everything: zoodles, spaghetti squash---but this is the first time I've tried pasta made out of something other than sticky, glutenous carbs. While perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's last week, I found a red lentil pasta. Intriguing. I've had whole wheat pasta… Continue reading Shrimp Fajita Pasta
California Roll Sushi Bowl
I made my own sushi rice the other day, y'all. I was shocked. Shooketh to my core. It was one of the most easy things I had ever cooked before. To be honest, I think I cook sushi rice better than I do regular rice. I got a sushi bazooka for my birthday/wedding/Christmas (one of… Continue reading California Roll Sushi Bowl
Shrimp & Lentil Jambalaya
The skies opened up this morning and dumped gallons and gallons of rain on OKC. The dreary and cold Spring morning was just what the doctor ordered. We're still recovering from devastating wildfires out west, and our rain this "storm season" has been anywhere close to where it needs to be for this time of… Continue reading Shrimp & Lentil Jambalaya
General Tso’s Shrimp Bowls
Do you ever have those days that start out fine, then quickly snowball into an avalanche of bad? That was me today. First, I've got a bone to pick with Tuesdays. Tuesdays are easily the worst days of the week. I feel bad for Mondays, really. They get all the flack for being the beginning… Continue reading General Tso’s Shrimp Bowls
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
Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
While the cruise to Mexico was our main honeymoon foray, we made sure to schedule some time to hang out in New Orleans, too. When our ship docked at 8 a.m. on a Saturday, Rob and I decided to explore the city and stay the night before our long journey home the next day. I… Continue reading Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
Shrimp Scampi with Pesto Couscous
I think I have everything that I need for my weekend camping trip. Tent, tarp, food, water, cooler, air mattress, lanterns, pump, Cards Against Humanity... All good on the camping front. Now, to pack. I have a feeling I'm going to be bringing far too much stuff, but it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared,… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi with Pesto Couscous
Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
It was a wild night in Oklahoma last night... Severe weather season has officially begun! Storms rollicked across the state, packing a major punch. No tornadoes in OKC, but really high winds caused a ton of damage, especially to State Fair Park. The Centennial Arch, built in the 1970's, didn't survive. There was supposed to be a… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
Swordfish Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa
It's been a wild ride this March Madness. Crazy upsets, last-second buzzer beaters, and legacy teams falling like dominoes. That's the way the cookie crumbles this time of year. It's thrilling and nail-bitingly wonderful watch. It's terrible and heart-achingly sad when your favorite team loses. I love it. I didn't manage to watch the Florida-Wisconsin game,… Continue reading Swordfish Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa
