There's one food I'll always cherish, no matter what: crab rangoon. I remember my best friend and I loading up on crab rangoon at our favorite Chinese restaurant when we were in high school and college. It was always our favorite part of the buffet, and we would savor every last creamy bite. My best… Continue reading Crab Rangoon Casserole

Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
It was just a few years ago that I realized you could eat corn raw. I always thought you had to cook it to make it tasty and tender. Wrong. I now add raw corn, straight off the cob, to salads in the summer. It's really the most refreshing thing when it's a thousand degrees… Continue reading Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
Blueberry Cloud Pie
If there's one thing I love about summer, it's the Fourth of July. My family used to go big for the summer holiday. We'd have enough fireworks set up to where we probably could have opened our own fireworks stand. Sausage, bratwurst, and burgers would be grilled up in record numbers. Potato, pasta and green… Continue reading Blueberry Cloud Pie
Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites
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
