It's all doom and gloom outside and I'm not looking forward to driving into work today. I've got a 4-wheel drive car, so I'll be fine...I hope. Right now there's just a slight glazing of ice on the roads, but later it will be snow-packed. Yuck. I'm filling my lunchbox to the brim today so… Continue reading Creamy Jalapeno-Garlic Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
I've been trying to eat more vegetarian/vegan meals since meat prices are so high right now. So far, I've stuck to one meatless meal a week. This week I made tacos with all veggies and it was phenomenal. Mushrooms have always been my favorite and they're the perfect meat replacement, especially if cooked correctly. Portobello… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas
Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup
I know you've seen hundreds, if not thousands, of chicken tortilla/fajita/enchilada soup. It's one of the most popular soups on Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, and in real life. But I'm here to tell you this one is the BEST of the BEST. It's creamy, spicy, filling and cheesy. It's cooked to perfection and tastes absolutely incredible.… Continue reading Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
It was just a few years ago that I realized you could eat corn raw. I always thought you had to cook it to make it tasty and tender. Wrong. I now add raw corn, straight off the cob, to salads in the summer. It's really the most refreshing thing when it's a thousand degrees… Continue reading Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Pork tenderloin gets a bad rap. A lot of people grew up eating tough and dry pork, and that's a shame. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm a huge preacher of "don't overcook your pork!" I've said it countless times on here. You only need to cook pork to 145 degrees---that's it. Anything… Continue reading Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Prairie Fire Dip
Anyone else completely exhausted after the Fourth of July weekend? I spent way too much time outside in the sun. I only have a few tiny sunburns where I didn't put sunscreen on all that well, but all that time spent outside wore me out. Hopefully your Fourth of July weekend was just as fun… Continue reading Prairie Fire Dip
Hawaiian Dogs
There's something special about a family-owned meat company here in Oklahoma City. Schwab Meat Co. has been around since the late 1800's, and has been in OKC at the same location since 1912. The company was started by a German immigrant named George Schwab who had a knack for making sausage. He brought his cherished… Continue reading Hawaiian Dogs
Honey-Jalapeno Corn Muffins
There are millions of different cornbread recipes out there. I've made quite a few of them. But there are none quite like this cornbread recipe. I was on the hunt for a new recipe a few weeks ago. If you've ever had cornbread cravings before, they are real. I had everything I needed at home… Continue reading Honey-Jalapeno Corn Muffins
Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
