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.

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 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
