Let's face it: this Memorial Day weekend will not be like any we've had before. Sure, it's the first signal of summer, but kids have been home for the last 3 months. Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown

Sesame Noodle Bowls
Do you ever get those random hunger pangs for something so oddly specific that you don't know if you even really like that thing at all? I do. Almost everyday. That weird craving struck me over the weekend. My most desired object? Edamame. I don't regularly eat it. I don't even really like it that… Continue reading Sesame Noodle Bowls
Persian Chicken Salad
We're starting to get into my favorite time of year: early summer. It's not too hot, not too cold, and thunderstorms are forecast for just about everyday of the week. It's the perfect weather to eat fresh fruit, sip on watermelon coolers, and eat a big bowl of salad for dinner. I've got a thousand… Continue reading Persian Chicken Salad
Mediterranean Couscous Salad
I'm still over here trying to use up all of my couscous. It's been weeks and the stuff never runs out! I've been getting creative in the kitchen trying to come up with ways to use the little pasta pearls. I've done main dishes, side dishes, and now salads. I refuse to buy any other… Continue reading Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Thai Turkey Salad
Anytime you start a new diet, it's critical to research what you're getting yourself into. I made sure to read up on what all I can and cannot eat on the keto diet before I started it for the first time. It's amazing how many carb are in certain vegetables, and the fruits I can… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad

It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
It's officially fall, y'all. I know it may not feel like it where you live, but according to scientists, September 23rd is the first official day of fall. It only feels like fall in OKC right now because of the allergies (which are killing me right now, by the way). It's still a zillion degrees… Continue reading Cucumber Salad with Feta and Dill
Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Here we are again. My favorite day of the week. I've already slurped down 3 cups of coffee and unloaded my clothes dryer to make room for another load. The kitchen is sparkling clean and ready for a long day of meal prepping. I'm currently trying to decide what to make for breakfast before I… Continue reading Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
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
Thai Chicken Skillet
It's a great weekend to be lazy. Honestly, most weekends are a great weekend to be lazy, but after a grueling week at work it's nice to just lounge around and not do anything. I have zero plans to get out of my cozy clothes. No plans to even leave the house. I'll be here,… Continue reading Thai Chicken Skillet
