I've been browsing my expansive cookbook collection lately for inspiration. I've got dozens of vintage cookbooks packed full of old school jello and casserole recipes. I've been trying to find Christmas recipes and new dinners that are exciting and fresh and different. The only bad thing about those vintage cookbooks is for every good dinner… Continue reading Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
It's a chilly one out there today. We're under an ice storm warning for the next several days and I'm hoping and praying our electricity doesn't go out. I love how Oklahoma skips right over fall and dives head first into winter. Leaves changing colors, what's that? Cool fall temps with sweaters? Never heard of… Continue reading Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
Wine Drunk Pasta
We've been imbibing a bit too much since the pandemic began. I'm not usually one to drink very much, if at all, but lately the White Claw and wine has been calling to me. I guess it's okay since the world is ending or whatever, right? I still keep it to the weekends and I… Continue reading Wine Drunk Pasta
Garlic Chicken & Spinach
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. We'll get some storms, sure, but the exciting thing is the temperature dip---I hope. I'm ready to use my oven more. I'm ready to… Continue reading Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
Roasted Garlic Guacamole
There are good guacamoles in the world and there are bad ones. Really bad ones. When I'm at a restaurant, I can always tell when the guacamole isn't freshly made. It's got that too-smooth look, and that plastic-y taste. Ew. No thank you. When it comes to fresh guacamole, I have no qualms with it… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Guacamole
Creamy Brie Mushrooms
I've never understood how people dislike mushrooms. I get different tastes and all of that, but what's not to like about mushrooms? I've always been a big supporter of edible fungi. Portobello, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, morels...they're all my favorites. They all hold a special place in my heart. Mushrooms are love, mushrooms are life. 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
