One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my silver fish. No, not the bug you find under boxes in your garage. I literally have a silver fish that sits on my sink. What's it used for? Getting terrible smells off your fingers. I'm talking garlic and onion smells. It sticks to your fingers, especially if… Continue reading Garlic Chicken & Spinach

Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
Can I just live outside right now? Seriously. If I could haul my work computer outside I would do it today. It's absolutely breathtaking outside. It's 60 degrees and overcast. That's my idea of perfect weather. Unfortunately, I'll be trapped behind a computer screen all day at work. There might be a chance or two… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
TODAY IS THE DAY. Today is, hopefully, the transition into fall. After two straight weeks of endless sun and 90 degree temperatures, a cold front should blow in later this afternoon/evening.

I've… Continue reading Creamy Brie Mushrooms
Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
My obsession with cheese has reached new heights. I spend more time in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store than any other aisle. I'm constantly inspecting the latest Stiltons, gruyere and emmentalers my cheese monger gets in. I'll try anything at least once. I'm especially fond of the Italian side: fresh mozzarella, shaved… Continue reading Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans
Well, here we are again. Another winter day, another winter storm. It seems like this is becoming an all-too-often forecast for Oklahoma. One day it's 70 degrees and sunny, the next day we're facing an onslaught of snow and ice. Luckily, I skidaddled away from work just in the nick of time today. Our snow-and-winter-Armageddon… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans
