I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice

French Onion Chicken Pasta
When I cook and shoot pictures of my meals, I use 2 different SD cards. One is in my camera at all times, the other is usually in my computer. I switch them out when I need to get pictures off the other.That means I have pictures of meals on some of these cards that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Pasta
Taco Party Salad
Rob and I are getting ready to buy our first house so we are fiendishly saving every last penny. The easiest thing to cut back on when you're trying to save is the grocery bill. Thankfully, we've got pretty good stores of meat right now. I don't plan on hitting up the grocery store for… Continue reading Taco Party Salad
Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
You all probably know by now how obsessed I am with pork tenderloin. I've been buying it up in bulk at the grocery store lately because it has been on sale. That's why you've seen so many recipes on here using the delicious cut of pork. I couldn't find any regular, unflavored tenderoin at the… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
My grill pan and I have a love-hate relationship. I love it because I'm able to get some great grill marks on things like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I had it because I almost always set my smoke alarm off when I cook with it. It doesn't matter if my ventahood is going at… Continue reading Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
Steakhouse Spinach Salad
I've been perusing my enormouse collection of old cookbooks lately hoping something will inspire me. After scrolling through Pinterest for so long, all of the recipes start to look the same. My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad
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
Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
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
Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
The television stations in Oklahoma City are on the northeastern outskirts of town. They're situated in the city limits, but in a very rural portion of the city. It's also a strange part of town in terms of geography. Across the street from my station is a herd of cows. Drive 2 minutes down the… Continue reading Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
