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
Fully Loaded Chicken Tostadas
Everybody loves tacos. Tacos have one day of the week dedicated to them. There are a dozen different restaurants in Oklahoma City that serve solely tacos. People would give up everything in life just to eat tacos. Well, I'm here today to enlist you to join Club Tostada. I know nothing will ever topple tacos… Continue reading Fully Loaded Chicken Tostadas
Chicken Chimichurri Salad
It's been a long and tumultous week and next week is already shaping up to be the same. I've been spending my Sunday lounging around, taking cat naps, and cooking here and there. That's typically how I spend my Sunday's anyway, but this Sunday is especially one for the lazy books. I want to be… Continue reading Chicken Chimichurri Salad
Tandoori Salmon Salad
I've been sick as a dog these past few days. I don't know what it is; I've had a low grade fever (99) and an incredibly sore throat---and now I have a cough. Ugh. I've been pounding the vitamin C, E, and water and hoping I get over this soon, but I'm now on day… Continue reading Tandoori Salmon Salad
Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole
I'm more than halfway done Christmas shopping and it's not even December yet. I consider that a win. Usually, I'm one of those crazy people making a mad dash for the stores on December 23rd. I'm a perpetual procrastinator at all things in life, Christmas shopping included. I'll even fight the two things I hate… Continue reading Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole
