Thank God Oklahoma had a cold front move through last week. We were busy melting away up until last Thursday. Instead of low 80's during the day and 50-60s at night, which is the typical case for May, Oklahoma was having a heatwave of upper 90's during the day and high 70s at night. It… Continue reading Spring Roll Salad

Mushroom Bourguignon
Hello y'all! It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. The temperature will reach 60 degrees before the sun goes down, it's bright and sunny, and the birds are chirping. I understand most of the Eastern United States is looking at a completely different scenario right now. A lot of people are buried under feet of… Continue reading Mushroom Bourguignon
Teriyaki Turkey Stir-Fry
It's beginning to look a lot like fall... I've got two trees that are already starting to change colors on their leaves. We're expecting a cold front today and we'll have super cool, fall-like weather this entire week. I'm armed with my Bath & Body Works fall candles and pumpkin-spice coffee. I'm ready for this!… Continue reading Teriyaki Turkey Stir-Fry
Grilled Ham and Mushroom Po’Boy
I've been meaning to post this recipe for weeks, but got bogged down by all of the Christmas baking. Now that Christmas is here, and all of the goodies have been made, I guess I can get back to writing up dinner recipes for y'all. This recipe is fantastic for after Christmas. If you're baking… Continue reading Grilled Ham and Mushroom Po’Boy
Moroccan Chicken Stew with Golden Cauliflower Rice
It's tax free weekend here in Oklahoma! It's actually kind of a joke, really. You can only get clothes and shoes tax free, and they have to be less than $100. School supplies are not included, which is 100% weird. School supplies were always included on tax free weekend in Texas. Of course, Texas also… Continue reading Moroccan Chicken Stew with Golden Cauliflower Rice
Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Oyster Mushroom Etouffee
Louisiana holds a special place in my heart. My first visit to the state was in the early 2000's. My grandpa and parents and I drove down to Alexandria so we could meet some of my grandpa's relatives. It was, as you say, love at first sight. And first bite, in my case. I was… Continue reading Oyster Mushroom Etouffee
Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
The London Symphony Orchestra's version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker plays throughout the house. The track is on Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, right after the Pas De Deux. Chocolate and cinnamon and sugar cookie smells fill the air. The Christmas is lit up and twinkling with warm gold lights. Red food coloring is smeared… Continue reading Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
Spanakopita Baked Potatoes
Greek food has taken over my life. I'm consumed with thoughts of gyros, moussaka, and falafels. Give me feta or give me death! That's what I always say. The thing about Greek food is, well, it's just plain delicious. My favorite is moussaka, and a Greek restaurant (one of many) here in Oklahoma City, Zorba's,… Continue reading Spanakopita Baked Potatoes
Rigatoni with Sausage and Collard Greens
I was on a mission. A mission from the food Gods. A mission of culinary extremes. A mission above all missions. I was set and ready to go wherever my wheels would take me...to get Swiss chard? Yes. Swiss chard. For whatever reason, that task was seemingly impossible. Chard has disappeared from the lavish mist… Continue reading Rigatoni with Sausage and Collard Greens
