There's a gigantic tub of hummus at Costco that reels me in every time I go there. I think it's about 3 pounds of hummus inside the typical plastic container. I've found two different flavors over the last several months that I like, but the red pepper hummus is probably my favorite. I put that… Continue reading Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches

Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
I've made at least a dozen different versions of taco salad in my life. My all-time favorite version is a classic: meat, ranch-style beans, lettuce, cheese, tortilla chips and Catalina dressing. It's not really the most healthy salad on the planet, but it sure is good. I've made a nice turkey version before with mini… Continue reading Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
I'm so glad Oklahoma is back to normal. After a two-week deep freeze, the ground is thawed and the temperature is rising. I can go back to living my normal life instead of huddling under blankets and wearing gloves inside at my desk. It's wonderful being above freezing, and something I always took for granted...… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
Spicy Tuna Wraps
I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps
7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Black Bean Omelette
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it's one that I usually take for granted. I've never really been a big breakfast person. 'Give me lunch or give me death!' was my motto as a kid. Now, I'm really starting to embrace breakfast culture. I'm diving into the whacky world of overnight… Continue reading Black Bean Omelette
Papa Verde Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I'm all about comfort foods right now. Potatoes, pasta, cookies, you name it. This whole "end of the world" thing has got me feeling a certain type of way. I know we should all be about eating healthy right now since most of us are homebound, but it's really hard given the circumstances. I'm having… Continue reading Papa Verde Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Roasted Garlic Guacamole
There are good guacamoles in the world and there are bad ones. Really bad ones. When I'm at a restaurant, I can always tell when the guacamole isn't freshly made. It's got that too-smooth look, and that plastic-y taste. Ew. No thank you. When it comes to fresh guacamole, I have no qualms with it… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Guacamole
Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Here we are again. My favorite day of the week. I've already slurped down 3 cups of coffee and unloaded my clothes dryer to make room for another load. The kitchen is sparkling clean and ready for a long day of meal prepping. I'm currently trying to decide what to make for breakfast before I… Continue reading Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
