I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump. It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
We're starting to get into the season where salads just don't hold up very well. The colder it gets, the heartier a meal people want.

Teriyaki Green Beans

I'm not one of those people who religiously check ingredients labels for corporation-made ingredients, but sometimes I do stop and take a peek. And let me tell ya, teriyaki… Continue reading Teriyaki Green Beans
Italian Marinated Mushrooms
The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday. It was everything you could imagine: sparkly lights, loud noises, sweat-dripping-down-your-back fun. We stayed out there for several hours soaking in… Continue reading Italian Marinated Mushrooms
Creamy Brie Mushrooms
I've never understood how people dislike mushrooms. I get different tastes and all of that, but what's not to like about mushrooms? I've always been a big supporter of edible fungi. Portobello, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, morels...they're all my favorites. They all hold a special place in my heart. Mushrooms are love, mushrooms are life. I've… Continue reading Creamy Brie Mushrooms
