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
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.

The store we stopped… Continue reading Spinach and Feta Mini Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles

A few days ago, I found one single pork chop in a ziploc bag, some frozen chipotle chile peppers (??), and 1/4 of a bag of frozen peas.… Continue reading Cilantro Lime Baked Drumsticks
Although I typically despise Mondays, today could not come soon enough. I actually had a pretty terrible weekend. It all started off well. I was going to go to the grocery store and decided to stop by my kryptonite (Ulta) beforehand. Did that, spent way too much money, then went across the street to get… Continue reading Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Mushrooms
