I've been experimenting with making my own seasonings from scratch. So far, I've made taco seasoning, chili-lime seasoning, and some other more simple blends. I know it's cheap and convenient to just by those little one ounce bags of the pre-made seasonings, but you never know what comes along with it---hidden sugars? MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies
It's been a long week of goodbyes around here. Several of my closest friends & colleagues got new jobs and moved off to advance their careers. Also, on Friday, it was my last day with our morning show. Starting Monday, I'll be working a more normal shift---well, as normal as TV news life goes, anyway---and… Continue reading 20-Minute Chicken & Snap Pea Stir-Fry
This weekend was one of the best Rob & I have had since before Christmas. We went out, explored the town, and took part in some really fun events. On Saturday, we decided to take in a flick at the new Banquet Cinema in downtown OKC. Think Alamo Drafthouse, but hyper local. I was sold… Continue reading Ham & Cheese Muffin Tops
Today is my engagement-versary, if that's a thing. I can't believe it has been 3 whole years since Rob and I got engaged...and nearly 2 years since we got married. It's been a whirlwind these last few years. A crazy, wonderful whirlwind. Since I'm thinking about our engagement, it's made my mind wander to our… Continue reading Shrimp & Catfish Creole

Can you walk by a table full of that stuff and NOT grab something? I think not. Then, Rob & I went to dinner for… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin & Cajun Slaw
It's been awhile since I've made a casserole. Though they're one of my favorite ways to make meals, casseroles don't really scream keto. All the recipes in old-timey cookbooks call for tons of carbs--like potatoes---or oodles of noodles. Finding a good keto casserole can truly become a chore. I have been able to make up… Continue reading Pesto Caprese Chicken Casserole
Woo! This recipe is a mouthful. I mean, the title is a mouthful. It's the best way to describe these burgers, but also the longest! I'm not usually one to make homemade burgers or burger patties (thanks, frozen pre-made versions), but I decided it was time to start. Red meat was out, so I went… Continue reading Turkey Burgers with Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli
