The first few weeks after the New Year seem to drag. There's this sort of limbo between the Holidays and Summer that appears to last forever. The cold wintery months in between don't help, either. The New Year means a new time to get back to doing the same thing over and over and over… Continue reading Sweet Chili Chicken & Green Beans

Pei Wei Lettuce Wrap Salad
One of my go-to fast food lunch stops is Pei Wei. When I worked evenings, I would DoorDash Pei Wei almost once a week. It drained my wallet, but it was easy and delicious when I was in a pinch. There are two menu items I would rotate: their poke salad (I don't know if… Continue reading Pei Wei Lettuce Wrap Salad
Bang Bang Salmon Rice Bowls
Seafood has gotten really expensive. It has always been pretty pricey, but holy cow---some prices are astronomical now. I generally stick to tinned tuna and bagged shrimp if I want to eat some seafood. I don't like tilapia, the cheapest fish, so I tend to stay away from the fresh fish. If I want to… Continue reading Bang Bang Salmon Rice Bowls
Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
I've meal-prepped on Sundays for as long as I can remember. I started doing it as a way to get all my potential blog posts done in one sitting. That evolved into getting all my blog posts AND videos done in one sitting. It also helps that I get my weekly cooking done in one… Continue reading Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
Jalapeno Chicken
Sometimes it's a real struggle trying to figure out what to put on the table for dinner. Tacos again? Grilling hamburgers for the third time this month? Do we really want to eat spaghetti AGAIN?? I try to think outside of the box as much as I can, but dinner can really stump me. I… Continue reading Jalapeno Chicken
Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Lazy Sundays are the best. Lounging around, listening to good music, binging your favorite TV show and taking an extra long bath really can't be beat. I do most of my cooking on Sunday mornings (I'm a meal prepper) but Sunday afternoons are generally left to relax and rejuvenate before the work week. I've already… Continue reading Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Spring 2023 in Oklahoma is unlike any other I've experienced. Everything is behind. Daffodils are just now starting to bloom in my area when they should be close to dying by now. I've only spotted a few violets here and there when they should be everywhere. The redbud trees are just now blooming when they… Continue reading Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Kani Salad
This time of year is always so bleak and gloomy. The holidays have come and gone. Long, hard winter months are ahead. The landscape is gray and dry, the wind cold and stinging. Winter comes along after the New Year and encompasses every part of our daily life. The next three to four months will… Continue reading Kani Salad
Sweet and Sour Wonton Bowls
Gyms around the New Year are crazy busy. They're bustling hubs of people looking for a fresh start, people kick-starting their New Year's resolutions, and the people who have already been there all year long. You know who you shouldn't find at a gym? Me. I'm the person who legitimately does not know what they… Continue reading Sweet and Sour Wonton Bowls
Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
Eating more veggies can be hard. There's a tendency among Americans to reach for protein and carb-heavy meals. I'm, no doubt, a person who does this. I always try to have my protein (meat), my starch, and my veggie with lunch and dinner (all bets are off for breakfast). I still stick to this when… Continue reading Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
