One of my favorite Italian dishes is chicken piccata. The sauce is incredibly simple: it's just lemon juice, butter and capers. Something about a simple sauce like that just makes my heart sing. It's so incredibly flavorful without having very many ingredients. It's a beautiful testament to the wonders of Italian food. I've made chicken… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Meatballs

Tuna Patties
Growing up, there were two things my mom made for dinner that I loved the most: tuna and squash patties. I didn't even like squash, but when it was in "patty" form, I was in love with it. Tuna patties dipped in ketchup were the ultimate dinner in my 7-year-old mind. I couldn't get enough… Continue reading Tuna Patties
Violet & Dandelion Lemonade
I can't believe how lucky I am. The house we bought last August has a fully functioning garden and mature trees. That's a rarity for most first-time home buyers. There's a small apple tree out front (that actually produced fruit last fall!), several tulips, irises and daffodils blooming, and over the weekend some friends found… Continue reading Violet & Dandelion Lemonade
Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Have you ever had Wing Stop? Have you ever tried their garlic-parmesan or lemon pepper wings? Those are my two favorite flavors of wings and nobody seems to do them as well as Wing Stop. They're so crispy and flavorful and absolutely crave-worthy. I dream of those chicken wings in my sleep... I tried to… Continue reading Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
I'm so glad Oklahoma is back to normal. After a two-week deep freeze, the ground is thawed and the temperature is rising. I can go back to living my normal life instead of huddling under blankets and wearing gloves inside at my desk. It's wonderful being above freezing, and something I always took for granted...… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
The world maybe changing, but my life still goes on in this little corner of the internet. I've got a stocked up kitchen right now and plenty of food to get Rob & I through 2 weeks if need be. We don't have the luxury of working from home. Right now is an essential time… Continue reading Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food. I use the same toppings everytime, too: grilled peppers and onions, pico, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.… Continue reading Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
Triple Citrus Grilled Chicken
I just berated my cat for laying around all day. It must be nice to be a cat; sleeping 20 hours of the day, eating whenever you want, having humans do your bidding. I wish I could switch places with my cat for just one day. Instead, I'll be spending my last of two days… Continue reading Triple Citrus Grilled Chicken
Blueberry Muffin Bread
Good Monday morning! Another week is here. The weekend went by far too fast. I spent most of my two days off relaxing. Naps, a professional massage, and more naps took control of my Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes you just need a good self-care weekend to reboot. I did find the time to do what… Continue reading Blueberry Muffin Bread
Italian Roasted Broccoli
It's been a while. Well, less than a week, but still. I spent the majority of last week laid up on a couch. I had some kind of respiratory infection and it knocked me out for a while. I finally went to the doctor on Wednesday and got some antibiotics and steroids. Thank god for… Continue reading Italian Roasted Broccoli
