I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've been collecting old, new and local cookbooks for years now. I've got an entire bookshelf, two tubs, and two small drawer stands full of cookbooks. There are two cookbooks that stand out as superior in my eyes: Taste of Home and Gooseberry Patch. I especially love Gooseberry Patch cookbooks.… Continue reading Speedy Stroganoff

Country Meat & Potatoes Skillet Dinner
Sometimes, just sometimes, simple is better. Instead of using 27 different ingredients for dinner, sometimes 3 just works. Instead of taking hours to cook one meal, sometimes taking minutes is better. Instead of presenting a pretty plate of food, sometimes just spooning your dish on a plate works. This is one of those "sometimes" dishes.… Continue reading Country Meat & Potatoes Skillet Dinner
Bacon Cheeseburger Mac Skillet
I'd love to meet someone who has never made Hamburger Helper. When I was in college, Hamburger Helper was my dinner savior. I made so much of it that I think I made myself sick. My favorite, of course, was the stroganoff (both pasta AND potatoes) and cheeseburger mac. That last one is also my… Continue reading Bacon Cheeseburger Mac Skillet

My husband and I love to make "homemade" pizzas. We utilize shortcuts for those, though, like using pre-made dough and sauce. As much as I… Continue reading Easy Stromboli

These oysters were just about the most buttery, sea-tasting fresh things you could get in Oklahoma. We went to The Drake for a friend's birthday. I ate my… Continue reading Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
Theta Burger Pizza
There's something heartwarming about a city's favorite food. It's like, no matter how bad things can get, a whole population center can band together around this one thing: food. Everywhere I've lived, there's been a food that's exclusive to that town. Whether it was the Steak-On-Garlic sandwich in Wichita Falls, or the burger on a sourdough… Continue reading Theta Burger Pizza
Pork Chops with Baked Apples and Roasted Root Vegetables
I've been on quite the culinary tour of OKC these past few days...and I need to stop. My "cheat day" turned into a cheat weekend. Yikes. One fairly healthy treat I rewarded myself with this week was lunch from Provision Kitchen on Thursday. This fledgling restaurant is barely a year old, and they have the best farm-to-table… Continue reading Pork Chops with Baked Apples and Roasted Root Vegetables
