This is it. Summer's last hoorah. Oklahoma is taking the deep dive with the arctic front coming in from Canada tonight. We're not going to get too cold, but we'll finally feel those fall-like temperatures. That means no more sandwiches, wraps and salads. Instead, all of my summer produce will quickly be replaced by fall… Continue reading End of Summer Salad

Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl
It's fall, y'all. Well, I may be a few weeks early. Or in Oklahoma's case, a few months early. But hear me out. I usually set up my fall decorations on August 1st. Why? So I can maximize the amount of time I have with them. I love fall, I love fall colors, and I… Continue reading Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl
Buffalo Chicken Chili
1.4 billion. That's how many chicken wings Americans will consumer today before, during, and after the Super Bowl. It's the single biggest wing occasion in the U.S. If you didn't place an order with a wing place weeks ago, you're S.O.L. today if you want wings. If you're making them yourself, I salute you. Wings… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Chili
Easy Skillet Chili Mac
I'm wiped, and it's only Tuesday. I pumped up the incline on my treadmill this morning and sweat BUCKETS. Literally buckets were pouring off of me. I don't know why I really wanted to push it to the max this morning---maybe because I'm working all week? Literally. I work 7 days this week! It's okay… Continue reading Easy Skillet Chili Mac
Cajun Chili
It's the rainy, lazy, napfest days of March. Weather like this makes me not want to do a darn thing. I guess I still need to get ready for work, though... This will probably end up being my last soup/stew/chili recipe of the season. I doubt we make it close to freezing again, and there's… Continue reading Cajun Chili
Brisket Chili
The quest for the best chili continues in my household. I've made chili only a handful of times in my life, each time something different. The last time I posted a chili recipe (a few years ago!) I made it with lentils and chicken. A time before, with pumpkin and turkey. I've made regular chilis… Continue reading Brisket Chili
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long. I got a cutie Pioneer Woman slow cooker for Christmas, and probably have only used it a half a dozen times since then. I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Tacos and I have a long, sordid history with each other. Many moons ago, when eating at a Mexican restaurant, I would always order enchiladas. If not enchiladas, than fajitas. If not fajitas, then quesadillas. You get the gist. Tacos were very far down on my list of things to eat. I used to cringe… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
