I was first introduced to Mexican snack food stands a few years ago in Oklahoma City. There are several neverias in the Oklahoma City metro that also serve snack foods like nachos, chile lime fruit, and elote en vaso.

Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet
My grocery pickup order is set and ready to go for tomorrow. I've got a pile of firewood right outside the door waiting to be burned down. Our little homestead is prepared to last this entire, extremely long cold snap. I haven't been outside since Saturday.

It could be because all of my energy is released during the morning newscast, and I'm… Continue reading Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Roasted Chipotle Butternut & Chicken Bowl
Yesterday was the first meteorlogical day of fall. Yes, that is a real thing. You can ask my morning meteorologist, Marcy. It's a real thing. It's like the "first day of summer" being June 21st...which is like two months after summer really begins here in Oklahoma. Colleen's first day of fall was about 3 weeks… Continue reading Roasted Chipotle Butternut & Chicken Bowl
Roasted Veggie Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Sometimes, you just need a kick in the butt to get motivated. I haven't been up-and-at-'em when it comes to cooking lately, and I've been slacking on my healthy habits. No more. It's time to take 2017 by the horns and make it our bi---oh, well you get the gist. In a fit of passion,… Continue reading Roasted Veggie Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
