This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples

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
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Cinnamon Apple Crisp
When I first started collecting recipes I used an old photo album I got when I was junior high to hold the recipe cards. The first few recipes I transcribed were family favorites. After that, I moved on to the cookbooks in my mom's pantry. After I was done with that, I collected recipes from… Continue reading Cinnamon Apple Crisp
Stovetop Cinnamon Apples
Is there anything more "fall" than apples and cinnamon? Maybe pumpkin. Maybe the crunchy leaves under your boot steps. But there's something so heartwarming and magical about eating cinnamon apple flavored things when fall is here. Apple-picking is far out of our grasp in Oklahoma, but that doesn't mean we can't pretend like the apples… Continue reading Stovetop Cinnamon Apples

Neither the snow nor the ice came but our plans were unwavering: stay on the couch, in our pajamas, for 24 hours or… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls

Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Halloween is still three days away, but the city Rob & I live in had their citywide Trick or Treating yesterday. Ghosts and goblins and princesses came to our door while we were carving pumpkins and celebrating this spooky time of year. We also went to go see the new Halloween movie yesterday. I was… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Steering clear of sweet stuff has been so hard, y'all. I haven't had chocolate, or ice cream, or pie...or any goodies that always seem to make it into the newsroom. I did try some Halo Top ice cream last weekend and it was great. Other than that, I've had zilch. Zero. Negative sugar count. You… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
