This is the first drink blog post I've EVER posted on here! I've been keeping up with this blog for 7 years now and I can't believe I'm just now getting into the drink recipe game. I'm not usually one of those people who make mixed drinks often, but the holidays always inspire me to… Continue reading Christmas Margaritas

Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
My grill pan and I have a love-hate relationship. I love it because I'm able to get some great grill marks on things like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I had it because I almost always set my smoke alarm off when I cook with it. It doesn't matter if my ventahood is going at… Continue reading Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
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
Verde Chicken Bowl
Let's get this out in the open now: riced cauliflower is bland. If you open a bag of cooked cauliflower rice and expect to be blown away by its taste---I'm sorry. It's not going to happen. Cauliflower rice desperately yearns for seasoning. Even if it's as simple as a little pat of butter, salt and… Continue reading Verde Chicken Bowl
Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil. Cantaloupe has always been on my relatively short 'Do Not Eat'… Continue reading Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
Key Lime Powerbars
Woo. It has been one heck of a week. If you haven't been keeping up in the news (both national and local), Oklahoma teachers walked out of the classroom on Monday and have not been back since. Instead, roughly 30,000 of them are congregating at the state capitol, pushing for lawmakers to restore funding to… Continue reading Key Lime Powerbars
Chicken Avocado Rollups
Snacks are everything in this household. I have to have snacks around me at all times. Just in case. There's nothing worse than being stuck and work and your only option on food is something really bad (calorie-wise) out of the machines. Snacks are a must. I usually have fruit to graze on in my… Continue reading Chicken Avocado Rollups
