It's fall, y'all. Well, I may be a few weeks early. Or in Oklahoma's case, a few months early. But hear me out. I usually set up my fall decorations on August 1st. Why? So I can maximize the amount of time I have with them. I love fall, I love fall colors, and I… Continue reading Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
Stovetop Cinnamon Apples
Is there anything more "fall" than apples and cinnamon? Maybe pumpkin. Maybe the crunchy leaves under your boot steps. But there's something so heartwarming and magical about eating cinnamon apple flavored things when fall is here. Apple-picking is far out of our grasp in Oklahoma, but that doesn't mean we can't pretend like the apples… Continue reading Stovetop Cinnamon Apples

Halloween is still three days away, but the city Rob & I live in had their citywide Trick or Treating yesterday.

I've been up since about 2:45 this morning. What have I been doing in the 3ish hours I've been up? Freaking myself out by watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I remember watching this show as a kid with my mom and scaring myself to death. Once, there was an episode about a man spontaneously… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Zucchini
Chicken & Butternut Squash Skillet
I was thinking about posing this question on my Facebook page the other day: What's your favorite herb? The reason I didn't ask it is because I knew that I would have to answer the question, too. And here's the problem: I don't know how to answer it. If you would have asked me just… Continue reading Chicken & Butternut Squash Skillet
Summer Squash Pesto Bake
Fall has officially arrived in Oklahoma. A quick step outside early this morning and you'll be greeted with a crisp, cool 60 degrees. The veil of humidity has lifted. The cicadas have stopped their incessant chirping. The sun hasn't been seen for days. The leaves are starting to turn a light orange before they darken… Continue reading Summer Squash Pesto Bake
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Steering clear of sweet stuff has been so hard, y'all. I haven't had chocolate, or ice cream, or pie...or any goodies that always seem to make it into the newsroom. I did try some Halo Top ice cream last weekend and it was great. Other than that, I've had zilch. Zero. Negative sugar count. You… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
