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

Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
The air is brisk. The salt trucks are driving up and down my street. The heater is working overdrive right now. I half-considered not unraveling myself out of my bedroom blankets this morning. Winter is here and it sucks. I haven't been outside in days. I haven't seen the sun in days. The temperature hasn't… Continue reading Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
Mushroom Bourguignon
Hello y'all! It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. The temperature will reach 60 degrees before the sun goes down, it's bright and sunny, and the birds are chirping. I understand most of the Eastern United States is looking at a completely different scenario right now. A lot of people are buried under feet of… Continue reading Mushroom Bourguignon
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Has there ever been a greater glow-up than cauliflower over the last 5 years? Talk about a transformation. From broccoli's pale brother to star of most meals: cauliflower is the true Ugly Duckling in society today. I can't go one meal without incorporating it somehow. Riced cauliflower has been a huge part of my diet… Continue reading Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
A simple road trip can never be simple in my family. After two decades of traversing all over the West and Southeast with my parents, I've used a bit of that nostalgia when it comes to doing road trips with my husband. I'll plot scenic detours and edible destinations along the way. I'll research the… Continue reading Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
Skillet Ranch Veggies
I've been experimenting with making my own seasonings from scratch. So far, I've made taco seasoning, chili-lime seasoning, and some other more simple blends. I know it's cheap and convenient to just by those little one ounce bags of the pre-made seasonings, but you never know what comes along with it---hidden sugars? MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies
Vegetable Loaded Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
It feels like I have a short work-week this week when I really don't. I'm leaving Friday as soon as I get off work to fly to Montana and spend the holidays with my family. I keep thinking about all the things I have to do before I leave and it's making it seem like… Continue reading Vegetable Loaded Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
Pesto Shrimp & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
Since our epic snow storm busted over the course of 24 hours, I found myself with nothing to do this weekend. I cleaned. I played around with some makeup. I made chex mix. I entertained the cats. That was all before 9:24 a.m. yesterday. What the heck was I going to do for the rest… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
