Living in the country is both a blessing and a curse. It's nice being able to do whatever you want with your land when you want. The bad part is, everyone else does that, too. My neighbors (not direct neighbors, but someone along our road) have been popping off fireworks since June 13th. JUNE 13TH.… Continue reading BBQ Turkey Subs with Banana Pepper Slaw

Peach Pie Fruit Salad
There's an overabundance of fruit in my kitchen right now. I'm obsessed with eating fresh fruit in the summer. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon or grabbing a handful of fresh strawberries. I'm particularly fond of fresh mango and peaches. Unfortunately, peaches come at… Continue reading Peach Pie Fruit Salad
Greek Turkey Burgers
It's been a rough week. It may be y'alls Thursday, but technically it feels like Friday for me. While everybody was off barbecuing on the Labor Day weekend, I was at work. I hate when I add an extra day to my work week because I feel thrown off the entire week. I keep thinking… Continue reading Greek Turkey Burgers
BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa
It's still 10 million degrees here on the surface of the sun---er, I mean OKLAHOMA. I wrote last week about how the grilling season was winding down, how pasta salad recipes will soon be replaced by crockpot meals, and how fall was right around the corner. WRONG. There's nothing but 90 degree temperatures in store… Continue reading BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa
Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Pork tenderloin gets a bad rap. A lot of people grew up eating tough and dry pork, and that's a shame. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm a huge preacher of "don't overcook your pork!" I've said it countless times on here. You only need to cook pork to 145 degrees---that's it. Anything… Continue reading Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Chicken & Mango Skewers
I think I've finally gotten the hang of grilling things. After years of messing things up with a charcoal grill, we finally bought a propane grill and it is MUCH easier for me to use. I tried it out this weekend and cooked up some kabobs and pork tenderloin. To my surprise, both came out… Continue reading Chicken & Mango Skewers
Hawaiian Dogs
There's something special about a family-owned meat company here in Oklahoma City. Schwab Meat Co. has been around since the late 1800's, and has been in OKC at the same location since 1912. The company was started by a German immigrant named George Schwab who had a knack for making sausage. He brought his cherished… Continue reading Hawaiian Dogs
Classic Broccoli Salad
It's mid-June. Your family is over for a cookout. You've been tasked with providing the sides. What do you make? A lot of people will throw chips and dips out there and be done with it. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. It's simple, doesn't need a lot of effort, and is typically cost-effective. If… Continue reading Classic Broccoli Salad
Caprese Turkey Burger
If there's one thing I love about summer, its the endless Caprese salads. Wait, you don't have endless Caprese salads where you're from? That's weird. I thought it was a universal thing. Okay, I get it. Caprese salads aren't really a "sign of summer" like lemonade stands and hot dogs. But it's something I make… Continue reading Caprese Turkey Burger
Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
I'm finally getting to the bottom of a horde of recipes I've cooked over the last few weeks. I got backed up for some reason and I'm about to go out of town, so I need to get through most of the horde. I made this recipe for my husband's lunches a few weeks ago… Continue reading Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
