Gyms around the New Year are crazy busy. They're bustling hubs of people looking for a fresh start, people kick-starting their New Year's resolutions, and the people who have already been there all year long. You know who you shouldn't find at a gym? Me. I'm the person who legitimately does not know what they… Continue reading Sweet and Sour Wonton Bowls

Spring Roll Salad
Thank God Oklahoma had a cold front move through last week. We were busy melting away up until last Thursday. Instead of low 80's during the day and 50-60s at night, which is the typical case for May, Oklahoma was having a heatwave of upper 90's during the day and high 70s at night. It… Continue reading Spring Roll Salad
Sweet & Spicy Chili Noodles
I love experimenting with my husband's lunches. I don't mean I'm concocting some kind of weird things to put in his lunches like worms and dirt. I like to mix it up between the things he really likes, while occasionally slipping in something new for him to try. He likes a specific flavors and textures,… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Chili Noodles
Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you've never had "bang bang" shrimp before, you've missed out on an epic flavor journey. I believe the term originated with a restaurant chain called "Bonefish Grill" but you can now find it at just about any seafood restaurant (including Red Lobster, I'm pretty sure). All it is: spicy mayo. Basically. That's it in… Continue reading Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Sausage & Pepper Wontons
I was gifted a few cookbooks the other day and I immediately set out to cook something from inside of them. A few things in an air-fryer centric cookbook caught my eye and almost all of them were wontons/potstickers. I have long been cooking wontons in my air fryer (my favorite are the Bibigo chicken… Continue reading Sausage & Pepper Wontons
General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
I like to incorporate a meatless meal at least once a week. Sometimes my meatless meal is simple: oatmeal for breakfast. Other times, I go out on a limb and make a meatless dinner. It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
Sweet Chili Turkey Meatballs
I'm here today to admit a problem. I am a sauce hoarder. I can't help myself. I buy sauces that look or sound good, use them once or twice, then they're left to languish in my fridge. You should see the door of my fridge. It's packed to the brim with dozens of different sauces.… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey Meatballs
Chicken Fried Quinoa
Quick! Tell me your go-to Chinese takeout order! If you're thrown on the spot, I bet a lot of you say chicken fried rice. My favorite takeout order? Lo mein and hot and sour soup. But my husband will order chicken fried rice almost every single time. It's a classic and it hits the spot… Continue reading Chicken Fried Quinoa
General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Chile Garlic Shrimp
I've been dying to find new shrimp recipes. I love shrimp. I adore it. Shrimp was my favorite food growing up. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, half the time it was some form of shrimp or seafood. Shrimp was always a fancy, but not too fancy form… Continue reading Chile Garlic Shrimp
