Basil is an odd herb. Sometimes I really enjoy its flavor. Other times I'm turned off by the "skunkiness" of it. I enjoy it chopped fresh on top of tomatoes and mozzarella. I don't like it stirred in with my spaghetti sauce (what??). I'm what you might call a basil-loving enigma. Fresh chopped basil in… Continue reading Honey-Basil Fruit Salad

Jerk Salmon Salad
If it's not from the sea, it ain't for me. At least, that should be my catchphrase right now. I've been on a total seafood binge lately. Everything from canned tuna to shrimp to scallops is on my radar right now. Seafood has always seemed really expensive to me, but now that EVERY protein is… Continue reading Jerk Salmon Salad
Blueberry Cloud Pie
If there's one thing I love about summer, it's the Fourth of July. My family used to go big for the summer holiday. We'd have enough fireworks set up to where we probably could have opened our own fireworks stand. Sausage, bratwurst, and burgers would be grilled up in record numbers. Potato, pasta and green… Continue reading Blueberry Cloud Pie
Baked Banana Blueberry Oatmeal
I've taken some time off over the last few weeks while my family was down here in Oklahoma. When I left this little corner of the internet, it was a mild spring-like environment down here in the Sooner state. When I returned, it was like I was entering the fiery pits of hell. I don't… Continue reading Baked Banana Blueberry Oatmeal
Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Spring cleaning has been going on in my house for the last several weeks. We've got family and friends visiting for the next couple of weeks, so I've been trying to tidy up where I can. I've completely reorganized the kitchen cabinets, given the windows a double-clean, and am in the midst of reorganizing the… Continue reading Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls were all the rage a few years ago. It's like somebody somewhere had a bright idea of just pouring a smoothie into a bowl, adding toppings, and upcharging the heck out of it. It was brilliant, really. It makes smoothies look a little more appetizing and much more photogenic. The #foodie culture ate… Continue reading Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Life without an oven sucks. Our oven has been broken for going more than 2 months now. We've been battling our home warranty company for that time to try and either get it fixed or get a new one. We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
I'm running out of overnight oat ideas! They've been such a hit in my house since I made the first batch of apple pie overnight oats. My husband eats a jar full before he goes to work. So far, this blueberry version might be his favorite. Overnight oats are the answer to just about everything.… Continue reading Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments. The restaurant came highly rated from all of our friends who live in the Yukon/West OKC area, and one thing they recommended was… Continue reading Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
Blueberry Biscuit Bake
There's no better way to start the day than with a big breakfast. I'm a savory breakfast kind of gal. I always order protein and eggs when I'm at a restaurant. Sometimes, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll order a stack of pancakes...and then only eat half of one. I've never been big on eating a… Continue reading Blueberry Biscuit Bake
