We're getting closer and closer to that time of year where you can't use the oven any longer. It's already forecast to be close to 90 degrees tomorrow. I can feel the warm, Southerly wind on my face right now as I blog from porch. The heat is coming, and it's sure to be a… Continue reading Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans

Teriyaki Green Beans
Do you know what all goes into teriyaki sauce? If you buy it at the store there's all sorts of sugar and preservatives inside the bottle. I'm not one of those people who religiously check ingredients labels for corporation-made ingredients, but sometimes I do stop and take a peek. And let me tell ya, teriyaki… Continue reading Teriyaki Green Beans
Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
What is it with sheet pans? All of mine look like someone threw them into an incinerator, pulled them out, and threw them in again for good measure. I cannot keep a sheet pan in good working condition. Even the most silver, shiny Rachael Ray one I have turned into a dark black rectangle after… Continue reading Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
Lemon-Dill Chicken Bowls
If you had to choose only one herb to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hands down, mine would be dill. Basil is a close second, but dill takes the prize. I use more dill weed than I do any other dried or fresh herb. Dill on my eggs, tuna… Continue reading Lemon-Dill Chicken Bowls
Skillet Ranch Veggies
I've been experimenting with making my own seasonings from scratch. So far, I've made taco seasoning, chili-lime seasoning, and some other more simple blends. I know it's cheap and convenient to just by those little one ounce bags of the pre-made seasonings, but you never know what comes along with it---hidden sugars? MSG? 900 milligrams… Continue reading Skillet Ranch Veggies
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
Chicken & Butternut Squash Skillet
I was thinking about posing this question on my Facebook page the other day: What's your favorite herb? The reason I didn't ask it is because I knew that I would have to answer the question, too. And here's the problem: I don't know how to answer it. If you would have asked me just… Continue reading Chicken & Butternut Squash Skillet
Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Let's talk about fruit baskets. Mine is getting a little out of control. What should be housing bananas and oranges inside it's wirey bowl, is loaded with avocados, whole wheat pitas, and tortillas. Two of those things are not like the other! My fruit basket has gotten so out of hand, I forgot I had… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie
One of the best parts of the holidays is all the leftovers. You can eat for days on turkey, stuffing and potatoes. I've always held the cold turkey & mayonnaise sandwich near and dear to my heart. My mom is good at transforming leftovers. One of my fondest childhood foods was what she called "potato… Continue reading Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie
