It's still 10 million degrees here on the surface of the sun---er, I mean OKLAHOMA. I wrote last week about how the grilling season was winding down, how pasta salad recipes will soon be replaced by crockpot meals, and how fall was right around the corner. WRONG. There's nothing but 90 degree temperatures in store… Continue reading BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa

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
Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Let's face it: this Memorial Day weekend will not be like any we've had before. Sure, it's the first signal of summer, but kids have been home for the last 3 months. Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Sunflower Fruit Salad
This time of year is the best for fruit. Pears, apples, citrus---they're all exceptionally sweet around this time every year. My grocery store even starts to carry the more exotic fruits like dragonfruit, star fruit, persimmon, and papaya. Pomegranate is fills the shelves. Fresh cut fruit trays are abundant.' It's the perfect time to make… Continue reading Sunflower Fruit Salad
Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil. Cantaloupe has always been on my relatively short 'Do Not Eat'… Continue reading Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
Frozen Yogurt Blueberry Bites
Every Wednesday our local newspaper has a section dedicated to food. There are local restaurant reviews, what's happening in the food scene, and an old lady that give recipes like "basic bread" and "green bean casserole" that crack me up. They also run a lot of syndicated recipes from bigger papers, and I get a… Continue reading Frozen Yogurt Blueberry Bites
Winter Fruit Salad
I've been battling a nasty little sinus infection for the past week. I swear, I've been sick for a full-blown month. Which is strange, because before this I hadn't been sick in almost two years. I guess when it rains, it pours, huh? I figured we needed some fresh Vitamin C in this household, so… Continue reading Winter Fruit Salad
Spiced Peach Bread
The dog days of summer are here, and they're here to stay. With that comes hours of languishing pool side, huddling in a dark house to escape the heat, and sweet, sweet peaches. Peaches are probably the most fantastical thing about summer. When those fuzzy round fruits start popping up at the farmer's market and… Continue reading Spiced Peach Bread
Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
Rob may not like a lot of foods...but if there's one thing he'll eat in mass amounts, it's fruit. I swear, that man can put away some fruit. Apples, oranges, bananas, and berries---you name it. But lord, how the berries will fly when I buy some. I'll look in the fridge one minute, and the… Continue reading Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
