Just when you thought Spring was here, winter's last gasp happens. It has barely gotten above 40 degrees today. This past weekend, however, I was planning a routine springtime festivity: morel mushroom hunting. This weather is whacky, y'all. Since we're still experiencing slightly subzero temperatures, soup recipes are still on my mind. I've slowed down… Continue reading Mexican Wedding Soup

Pizza Sausage Balls
One of my most favorite snacks in the world is sausage balls. A friend of mine used to make them for parties when we were in high school and I fell in love with them. They're so easy to make and require only 3 ingredients: sausage, cheese and Bisquick. I wanted to make sausage balls… Continue reading Pizza Sausage Balls
Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
My fall decor is officially up and my pumpkin & apple candles are lit. Too bad it's 94 degrees outside. I'm more ready for fall than I am for anything else right now. I'm ready for the temperatures to dip and the hay rides to begin. Every retail store in the nation has had fall/Halloween… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches
There are a lot of regional sandwiches I've never had before. I've never tried beef on weck, a classic hoagie, and I hate to admit it---I've never tried an Italian beef sandwich. Pretty much any sandwich hailing from the upper midwest or northeast I've never tried. I'd like to change that, though. My husband and… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches
Sausage Fettuccine
Everything is dead or dying in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's summer this year has been far too hot. We had a long spate of 100-degree days and went weeks without rain. Because of that, everything from the grass to the trees is dying. It's been hard to keep my first-year garden alive. I surrendered early to the… Continue reading Sausage Fettuccine
Leann’s Special Salad
Let's get this out of the way: I don't know who Leann is. I also don't know why her salad is special. This recipe comes from a 1987 cookbook I found in a local antique store that hails from Texas. I was looking for a light, refreshing salad to escape the 105 degree weather we've… Continue reading Leann’s Special Salad
Pork Chop Parmesan
Do you ever have an idea and then instantly regret it when you put that idea into motion? That happened to me this weekend with this recipe. I didn't want to go to the grocery store so all the meals I meal prepped this weekend came from my fridge and pantry. I have a surplus… Continue reading Pork Chop Parmesan
Pesto Chicken with Corn & White Bean Salsa
It never hurts to be adventurous. When you go to your favorite restaurant, do you stick with your normal order? If you do, I dare you to branch out and order something new the next time you go. Look, I know what it's like to be a creature of habit. I adhere to a strict… Continue reading Pesto Chicken with Corn & White Bean Salsa
Healthy Baked Ziti
I was greeted by an empty pasta aisle at the grocery store the other day. Macaroni, spaghetti, egg noodles, you name it...they were all gone. Not a pasta box or bag in sight. A few steps to the right and I found the cast-offs no one wanted: spinach pasta, whole wheat penne, and lentil pasta.… Continue reading Healthy Baked Ziti
