I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps

General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Chicken & Wonton Soup
You ever see a recipe in a video and think, "I can make that, and I can make it better?" Welcome to my world. I scroll aimlessly through TikTok sometimes and see all of these good recipes and think that I can make them better. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. This is one… Continue reading Chicken & Wonton Soup
Dallas Cowboys Soup
This football season has been bizarre, to say the least. It's usually a big fanfare around here when August turns to September and football teams start to kick off. This year we weren't sure if that was even going to happen, much less if it should happen. We've covered game cancellations, COVID-19 test results of… Continue reading Dallas Cowboys Soup
Broccoli Noodle Soup
People swear by certain soups in their life. I've heard rave reviews over Panera's broccoli-cheese soup. Family members are big fans of Campbell's Bean and Bacon soup. A lot of people can't get enough of Wendy's chili. I prefer to make all of my soups homemade. Who doesn't love a big pot boiling on the… Continue reading Broccoli Noodle Soup
Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
My husband is a huge fan of peanut butter. He'll eat it on just about anything: graham crackers, chocolate, or simply by the spoonful. That's why I try to make a peanut-butter inspired treat for him every now and then. I've made chocolate peanute butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and even a cake-style Buckeye bar.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars

Christmas is all about traditions. There are foods you eat every year. Light displays you drive through every year. Present-giving-routines you do every year. My family sticks by most of the classics when it comes to holiday baking. We've been making big batches of decorated sugar cookies every year since I was born. This recipe… Continue reading Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies

You're hustling and bustling and trying to get all of your Christmas shopping done before next Friday. There's a ton of work left to do: decorations, wrapping, planning the big feast. Ain't nobody got time to worry about what's for breakfast, right? My family always keeps it simple on Christmas morning. We usually prep a… Continue reading Mini Breakfast Pizzas
Cranberry Oat Bread
It's a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now! Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20's with overcast skies. This is my favorite type of weather---and favorite time of year. I'm sure we'll thaw out here pretty soon. Snow doesn't ever stick around for long in this… Continue reading Cranberry Oat Bread
Cherry Eggnog Bread
Baking is not my first passion. It's also not my second, third, or fourth passion. It's not even on my "passion" list at all. I'm not the greatest baker in the world. Even with all the gizmos and gadgets to help in the kitchen, more often than not my baking experiments fail. Cakes come out… Continue reading Cherry Eggnog Bread
