The search is on for the perfect midday snack. As the days get longer, and the temperatures get hotter, I'm on a mission to find those perfect bites for a hot summer afternoon. I always take a snack with me to work to eat around 4 in the afternoon. I usually bring a selection of… Continue reading Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites

Strawberries Newport
There's a nip in the air, but the sun's warmth makes it better. A light beat pulsates in the distance. The smell of deep-fried foods wafts through the streets. Vibrant colors of oil pants can be seen in the distance. It's a spring rite of passage for Oklahoma City. The everlasting, annual event that marks… Continue reading Strawberries Newport
Tandoori Salmon Salad
I've been sick as a dog these past few days. I don't know what it is; I've had a low grade fever (99) and an incredibly sore throat---and now I have a cough. Ugh. I've been pounding the vitamin C, E, and water and hoping I get over this soon, but I'm now on day… Continue reading Tandoori Salmon Salad
Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Frittata
Every Christmas for the past decade or so, my family has made the same breakfast casserole for us to eat when we get done opening presents on Christmas morning. I've carried on the tradition since moving out, but I'm not sure Rob loves the breakfast casserole nearly as much as I do. This year will… Continue reading Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Frittata
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Anyone else have the slightest obsession with cheese? I do. And it's not just a slight obsession, either. I'm talking a full-blown, grade-A love affair with cheese. I think that's why I've been able to stick to this Keto diet so well. I didn't have to give up my torrid affair with cheese. Any diet… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
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
Spaghetti Squash Pesto Primavera
Pesto is one of my favorite kitchen pantry staples. If you open my cabinets, you're 90% likely to find a few jars of pesto. I've made my own pesto many times, but it's just so much easier to have some already prepared so you can dump it in a recipe and go. Plus, pine nuts… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Pesto Primavera
Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, but have pushed through to make sure I meal prepped for the week. If I don't meal prep, I'm absolutely lost. There's also NO way I can cook on the weekdays. I'm usually pretty pooped after work and there's no way I can slave over… Continue reading Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
Mini Pepper Party Poppers
A friend of mine posed this question on Facebook a few weeks ago, and it really struck a chord with me: Why has getting gas become such a burdensome chore? It's the one of the easiest things we do as adults. Heck, with technology over the last two decades, we barely even have to get… Continue reading Mini Pepper Party Poppers
