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. I'm down for a big bowl of soup when it's 50 degrees outside, but a big bowl of salad? That's not really my jam. This salad is a little bit… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower Salad

Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
It's officially fall, y'all. I know it may not feel like it where you live, but according to scientists, September 23rd is the first official day of fall. It only feels like fall in OKC right now because of the allergies (which are killing me right now, by the way). It's still a zillion degrees… Continue reading Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
Teriyaki Green Beans
Do you know what all goes into teriyaki sauce? If you buy it at the store there's all sorts of sugar and preservatives inside the bottle. 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
Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I have a dream where one day everyone will get on board with cauliflower. Cauliflower gets a bad rap; even more so now that it's the "trendy" food to eat. People knock on the broccoli impostor constantly on my social media feeds.But have you ever tried cauliflower? Like, really tried it? It just needs to… Continue reading Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
Balsamic Roasted Zucchini & Mushrooms
Oh boy, here I go roasting again! You're probably thinking, what hasn't she roasted before? Surely she's running out of options! Nope. I'll continue to throw my veggies on a bakingm sheet and cook them at a high heat in the oven for the rest of my time here on Earth. Roasting vegetables is the… Continue reading Balsamic Roasted Zucchini & Mushrooms
Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
Springtime is officially here and I am living for it. This is my most favorite time of year, food-wise. There's all of these fresh herbs and veggies popping up right now, and the farmer's market is at its peak. Spring veggies, since they're now in season, are also drastically reduced price-wise. I've been buying up… Continue reading Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
Italian Roasted Broccoli
It's been a while. Well, less than a week, but still. I spent the majority of last week laid up on a couch. I had some kind of respiratory infection and it knocked me out for a while. I finally went to the doctor on Wednesday and got some antibiotics and steroids. Thank god for… Continue reading Italian Roasted Broccoli
Skillet Ranch Veggies
I've been experimenting with making my own seasonings from scratch. So far, I've made taco seasoning, chili-lime seasoning, and some other more simple blends. I know it's cheap and convenient to just by those little one ounce bags of the pre-made seasonings, but you never know what comes along with it---hidden sugars? MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies
