We had a great deal of snow fall this past weekend. Oklahoma is starting to look like most northern states this winter instead of what it usually looks like: a dry an barren wasteland. I froze my tush off and sat under my bird feeder to try an snag a shot of our resident cardinal… Continue reading Taco Lentil Soup

Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
Poblano Corn Chowder
I'm all in when it comes to soup making weather. Right now, my third soup of the season is sitting in my fridge. I've stocked up on canned tomatoes and beans, fresh potatoes and onions. There's a zillion different soup combinations out there just waiting for me to try. I didn't think I could find… Continue reading Poblano Corn Chowder
End of Summer Salad
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
Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
The television stations in Oklahoma City are on the northeastern outskirts of town. They're situated in the city limits, but in a very rural portion of the city. It's also a strange part of town in terms of geography. Across the street from my station is a herd of cows. Drive 2 minutes down the… Continue reading Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
Corn Chip Salad
There's something strange about "salads" in the South. I'm not talking about leafy green salads. I'm talking about the sides that people take to cookouts and parties. If you open a church cookbook, or a cookbook handed down to you from family, you'll find a rather large salad section that can sometimes be entirely void… Continue reading Corn Chip Salad
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
Pineapple & Pulled Pork Tacos
If you could only live off of one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? That's an easy answer for me: tacos. There are so many different tacos to choose from, and my personal favorite are fish, shrimp, and pork. I've even been known to dive head first into a few… Continue reading Pineapple & Pulled Pork Tacos
BBQ Chicken Bowls
There's been radio silence on my end the past few days because I haven't been able to move. Literally. Not because I'm injured, or in pain---no. It's because our air conditioner went out late Saturday night, and Rob and I have spent the last two hottest days of the year (so far) with just the… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Bowls
