I've had this unhealthy obsession with mushrooms ever since I was a little kid. Most people, and most kids, flinch at the sight of cooked fungi, but not me. I've always loved its taste, texture, and earthiness. My grandfather was the greatest steak master around. To this day, I've never had a better steak than… Continue reading Brown Butter Garlic Mushrooms

Greek Chicken & Cauliflower Rice Bowls
One thing that I have noticed while on my cuisine quest is that a large majority of the population does not like cauliflower. My stepdad is one of them. So is my husband. In fact, I would say a good 90% of the people I know do not like cauliflower. I find that hard to… Continue reading Greek Chicken & Cauliflower Rice Bowls
Al Pastor Pork Chops
I've been in a tizzy trying to clean out my freezer. My freezer was in such bad shape: things thrown in willy-nilly, half packages of pie crusts and frozen vegetables, freezer-burned items. A much needed deep-clean was in store for me. I had six pork chops in there of various varieties. A couple of bone-in… Continue reading Al Pastor Pork Chops
Cowboy Butter Chicken With Zucchini Noodles
I've been thinking about butter this morning. I don't know why, but an old meme popped into my head randomly a few hours ago. The one from Mean Girls...where Regina George asks, "is butter a carb?" and the next cut screen on the internet image shows Paula Deen with the caption, "butter is everything, b*tch."… Continue reading Cowboy Butter Chicken With Zucchini Noodles
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
Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
I think I've gotten a contact high from some paint job Rob was working on. Wooh. Not nearly enough ventilation in this apartment, that's for sure. I also made matters worse by busting out the grill pan and grilling up some bratwurst for lunch. The grill pan and brats produced a lot of smoke; I… Continue reading Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Mushrooms
Although I typically despise Mondays, today could not come soon enough. I actually had a pretty terrible weekend. It all started off well. I was going to go to the grocery store and decided to stop by my kryptonite (Ulta) beforehand. Did that, spent way too much money, then went across the street to get… Continue reading Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Mushrooms
Edamame Succotash
It took me 30 minutes to break into my car this morning. Not actually break in. Break through. My car was encapsulated in a thick sheet of ice. I couldn't even get the door open! I was locked out by mother nature. I finally was able to yank my door open and get my ice… Continue reading Edamame Succotash
Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini
One of my favorite radio stations here in Oklahoma City has a different format than many I've listened to throughout my life. Instead of playing a few songs and then a quick, 2-minute-ish commercial break, they play six songs and then have a seven minute long commercial break. If I'm unfortunate enough to get stuck with that… Continue reading Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini
Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Pumpkin Butter
I've been struggling to pick out the perfect pork chop lately. In the past, I've always eaten thick-cut, boneless pork chops---but those tend to dry out quickly. It's nice to know you only need to cook pork to an internal temperature of around 145 degrees now, effectively making dry pork chops non-existent...but still. Those thick-cut… Continue reading Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Pumpkin Butter
