Mashed Potato Squash
I'm constantly in awe of all the foods out there that I do not know. I feel like my taste is very expansive. I've tried so many new, different foods over the years. Living in a "big" city definitely helps. So does being adventurous. Since moving to OKC ten years ago, I've tried lotus root,… Continue reading Mashed Potato Squash

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
I've been working in TV news for more than 10 years. It's hard to believe that. I remember my first day at a television station like it was yesterday. I thought everything was so technologically advanced and that I was way out of my league for a choice of a job. Looking back now, I… Continue reading Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
Peach Pie Fruit Salad
There's an overabundance of fruit in my kitchen right now. I'm obsessed with eating fresh fruit in the summer. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon or grabbing a handful of fresh strawberries. I'm particularly fond of fresh mango and peaches. Unfortunately, peaches come at… Continue reading Peach Pie Fruit Salad
Honey-Basil Fruit Salad

I don't like it stirred in with my spaghetti sauce (what??). I'm what you might call a basil-loving enigma. Fresh chopped basil in… Continue reading Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad
I traveled back in time this weekend. I went to a place that I hadn't been to in more than a decade. Tucked away in a small corner of North Texas is an area that's near and dear to my heart: Doans, Texas. It's just a few miles north of the big "city" of Vernon… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

Savory Crawfish Cornbread
Happy Fat Tuesday, y'all. Mardi Gras is here and I'm celebrating like an honorary Cajun, despite living smack-dab in the middle of Oklahoma. I have family from Alexandria and my aunt used to live in Monroe, and my heart and soul belong to Louisiana. It's one of my most favorite places in the world because… Continue reading Savory Crawfish Cornbread
Creamy Jalapeno-Garlic Brussels Sprouts
It's all doom and gloom outside and I'm not looking forward to driving into work today. I've got a 4-wheel drive car, so I'll be fine...I hope. Right now there's just a slight glazing of ice on the roads, but later it will be snow-packed. Yuck. I'm filling my lunchbox to the brim today so… Continue reading Creamy Jalapeno-Garlic Brussels Sprouts
