Broccoli salad has been around for a while. It really rose to prominence in the midwest and south around the 60's and 70's. For people wanting a "healthier" barbecue side dish, broccoli salad was the best bet. Your aunt or mom probably makes a variation of broccoli salad that includes dried cranberries, raisins, and/or sunflower… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Broccoli Salad

Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Pepperoncini and other pickled peppers are having a moment right now. Maybe it's because of the viral "grinder" sandwich recipe you may have seen on TikTok. Or maybe it's because they deserve to be in the spotlight. Pickled peppers are freaking delicious. I've been buying pickled pepperoncini, cherry and jalapeno peppers in bulk for a… Continue reading Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Cobbler
Sometimes it's tough coming up with different breakfast recipes. There's only so much you can do with bacon, hashbrowns, eggs, toast and blueberries. That's why you need to rework similar recipes and give them a whole new persona. This recipe is extremely similar to my biscuit and gravy casserole. There are a few marked differences,… Continue reading Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Cobbler
Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
One of the first restaurants I ate at after moving to Oklahoma City in 2012 was Texadelphia. There was once a few different locations of Texadelphia in OKC, but now there is only one left in Bricktown. That's the one I went to when I first moved here. Texadelphia is a Philly cheesesteak place with… Continue reading Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
French Onion Chicken & Rice
My French Onion obsession continues with this insanely delicious casserole. I made French onion potatoes a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit. I've made French Onion Chicken & Noodles before and it was also a great recipe. This chicken & rice recipe, though, may take the cake. It's a simple recipe that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken & Rice
Pork Reuben Wraps
I was never a big sauerkraut fan growing up. I'm sure not many kids were, either. Fermented cabbage isn't really on most kids' lists of favorite foods. As I've grown older, I've learned to love the stuff. I especially love it on a classic Reuben sandwich. There was a great deli for years in uptown… Continue reading Pork Reuben Wraps
Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Happy Easter, y'all! My Easter holidays have been much more subdued these last few years. Although we keep it low-key, I try to stick to some classics for the day: pork, deviled eggs, and potatoes. I make some variations of each of those ingredients. Sometimes it's a pork roast, sometimes a pork shoulder. The deviled… Continue reading Twice Baked Potato Casserole
French Onion Potatoes
One of the first things to grow in early spring is wild onions and garlic. Wild onions are a delicacy among the tribes in Oklahoma, and their fresh leek-like taste goes great in scrambled eggs. I've got quite a bit of wild onion and garlic growing in my backyard. I haven't been brave enough to… Continue reading French Onion Potatoes
Green Goddess Chickpea Salad
There's little buds on the redbud trees and the Bradford Pear trees are blossoming. Spring is in the air here in Oklahoma! In just a few weeks, everything will green up and the daffodils will start blooming. Spring is my favorite time of year in Oklahoma, not just because of the return of beauty to… Continue reading Green Goddess Chickpea Salad
Redneck Risotto
One of the first dishes I ever made was risotto. Intimidating recipe, I know. Risotto is not known for being an easy recipe to make. It takes time, a LOT of time, to get the right consistency. It also takes a lot of patience. Unlike regular rice where you add all the liquid at once,… Continue reading Redneck Risotto
