There's little buds on the redbud trees and the Bradford Pear trees are blossoming. Spring is in the air here in Oklahoma! In just a few weeks, everything will green up and the daffodils will start blooming. Spring is my favorite time of year in Oklahoma, not just because of the return of beauty to… Continue reading Green Goddess Chickpea Salad

Lemon & Herb Potato Salad
There are many different recipes that will come in and out of your life that hold a significant meaning. My mom's potato salad is one of those. She's been making it since I was born, and it's such a classic recipe for our family get-togethers. I've made her recipe a handful of times, but I… Continue reading Lemon & Herb Potato Salad
Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream Sauce
Do you ever get the sudden urge to buy something spontaneously at the grocery store? You know...you've spent an hour mapping out your grocery list, but one thing just catches your eye and begs you to buy it? That happens to me all the time on my bi-weekly grocery trip. I try to stick to… Continue reading White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream Sauce
Spicy Oven-Fried Ranch Chicken
You ever feel like you could just sleep the day away? Just take one long nap and spend the whole day in bed? That's how I feel right now. After working some really whacky hours all week, I just want to crawl in bed and stay there all weekend. Unfortunately, I can't do that...I've got… Continue reading Spicy Oven-Fried Ranch Chicken
Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Since Rob & I have cut down on the red meat in our diet, I've had to adapt in the kitchen. That doesn't mean we don't still have the occasional juicy steak (I am from Texas), but we try to limit it to only a few times a month. As a Texan, cutting out red meat… Continue reading Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Hungarian Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes
It's another football Sunday in this household! Unfortunately, my beloved Broncos weren't playing (on TV in this market), but I still managed to squeeze a few games in for my viewing pleasure. We had an eventful morning, waking up suuuuper early to get ready for our Save-The-Date pictures (squee!) and then had an AMAZING brunch at… Continue reading Hungarian Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes
Spinach Salad with Bacon & Chicken
Even though I'm like, super duper prepared for fall to be here; I'm still stuck in that summer state of mind. I feel like the last few dog days of summer are sticking around like a rash you can't kick. The cicadas are still serenading in the evenings, the temperatures are still rising to sweltering… Continue reading Spinach Salad with Bacon & Chicken
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
Double Baked Eggplant Parmigiana
Happy Mother's Day to all of you lovely ladies out there! I spent this weekend with my mom back in Texas. My parents are in the midst of selling their house and moving to Montana, so this weekend could be one of the last times I see them in my childhood home. The trip was… Continue reading Double Baked Eggplant Parmigiana
