I've always been a huge fan of reality TV. It may seem mindless, stupid, or not worth most people's time. But there's something very relaxing about watching reality TV. It soothes the soul after a long day. Its purpose is what television was intended for: an escape. I've been watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians… Continue reading Copycat Kardashian Deluxe Salad

Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
I'm souped out for the forseeable future. I've probably made more soups this winter than ever before. It's been a rough one. We've had the lowest temperatures Oklahoma has ever had before, tons of snow, and an insane ice storm to kick off the season. I'm ready for warmer temps, blooming flowers, and cold beers… Continue reading Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I just impulse bought a new coffee pot. It's a Keurig cup + 12 cup carafe duo coffee maker. I had to have it and it came at a decent price. You see, we've had our current coffee maker for the last year...maybe 2 years. I got it for $8 at Walmart because it was… Continue reading Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
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
Copycat Dunkaroo Dip
I've been on a copycat recipe making spree. With the pandemic, I haven't gotten out much. I don't go out to eat, I rarely order takeout, and I limit my grocery shopping trips. Because of all that, I've been trying to recreate my favorite restaurant recipes at home. So far, I've attempted recipes from several… Continue reading Copycat Dunkaroo Dip
Mother Earth Bowl
Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl
Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
I grew up in a small North Texas city called Wichita Falls. Wichita Falls has always been a few decades behind other major metropolitan areas. That could be attributed to a typical slow Southern pace, or it could be attributed to the fact that it's pretty far away from the closest metro area (2 hours… Continue reading Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
