It's post-Christmas and the house is calming down as the days tick down to the new year. I've got the post-Christmas blues. No more Christmas music on the radio. No more dazzling light displays. No more food, fun and family. It's almost time to return to the real world. While the Christmas magic wears off,… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Nuggets

Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Anyone else have the slightest obsession with cheese? I do. And it's not just a slight obsession, either. I'm talking a full-blown, grade-A love affair with cheese. I think that's why I've been able to stick to this Keto diet so well. I didn't have to give up my torrid affair with cheese. Any diet… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing
And now, for something different. This may very well be the most out-of-my-element recipe I've ever made. Was it difficult? Not really. Was it something I'd ever make had I not been inspired? Probably not. It would be a completely vegan side dish had I not used sour cream in the avocado cream sauce. You… Continue reading Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Steering clear of sweet stuff has been so hard, y'all. I haven't had chocolate, or ice cream, or pie...or any goodies that always seem to make it into the newsroom. I did try some Halo Top ice cream last weekend and it was great. Other than that, I've had zilch. Zero. Negative sugar count. You… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Meatball Parmesan
If there's one thing I haven't gotten the knack of in my 5+ years (!!!) of blogging, it's staging food to look as good as it possibly can. Sometimes, I get it right. Like the pictures I took of that steak salad with chimichurri dressing? Gorgeous. Other times, it's seemingly impossible. Do you know how… Continue reading Meatball Parmesan
Roasted Broccoli Salad
The times are changing. Although it's still 90 degrees here in Oklahoma, fall is right behind that warm southernly breeze. My fall decor has already made its appearance. The pumpkin spice candles are burning. I'm digging jackets out of my closet. I'm eating hotter foods and thinking about soups, y'all. Soups. Summer will be out… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Salad
Ham and Cheese Rollups
Breakfast hasn't really been on my radar lately. I've been just drinking bulletproof coffee and fasting until well after my lunch. When I do get down with the first meal of the day, I experiment. Egg cups, omelettes, and other weird low-carb breakfasts. I'm too scared to eat things like breakfast sandwiches made out of… Continue reading Ham and Cheese Rollups
Turkey Fajita Kabobs
Today we ran a story about every state's most favorite "bad" movie. We're talking those guilty pleasures...those movies that are so bad they're good (or at least you enjoy them). Wild Wild West, Batman & Robin, and The Emoji Movie were most state's favorite bad movies. But Oklahoma had one that no other state had...… Continue reading Turkey Fajita Kabobs
Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, but have pushed through to make sure I meal prepped for the week. If I don't meal prep, I'm absolutely lost. There's also NO way I can cook on the weekdays. I'm usually pretty pooped after work and there's no way I can slave over… Continue reading Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
