Here we are again. The end of the work week. It's going to take everything in my power to not "treat myself" today. For the last several Fridays, after particularly rigorous work weeks, I've ordered Postmates for dinner at work. It's a nasty (and expensive) little habit, but it was like a trophy for me… Continue reading Stuffed Buffalo Chicken

Teriyaki Green Beans
Do you know what all goes into teriyaki sauce? If you buy it at the store there's all sorts of sugar and preservatives inside the bottle. I'm not one of those people who religiously check ingredients labels for corporation-made ingredients, but sometimes I do stop and take a peek. And let me tell ya, teriyaki… Continue reading Teriyaki Green Beans
Italian Marinated Mushrooms
The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday.

Immediately grab phone and peruse social media 10:30 a.m.: actually get out of bed. Try to write a blog post/watch TV. 11 a.m.:… Continue reading Margherita Chicken & Zucchini
Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Bake
After weeks of traipsing through the middle of nowhere... I'm back here in the big city of OKC. My summer vacation took me to the great state of Montana...where Rob & I camped and visited my parents. The trip wasn't all roses and fireworks---but I like to remember it as a week and a half… Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Bake
Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you look through ANY food boards on Pinterest, you'll be inundated with copycat 'bang bang' shrimp recipes. What is that, you ask? Well---I actually don't know. I've never even had bang bang shrimp before from any of the restaurants claiming to serve it. Even though I've never tried it, my mouth still waters everytime… Continue reading Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
