The search is on for different ways to make sandwiches and burgers into wraps. Who needs another boring lettuce-wrapped burger recipe? Not me. I've been finding different ways to use lettuce---and different types of lettuce to use---for the better part of a year now. I've had some hits (shredded Mexican beef wraps) and some misses… Continue reading Indian Chicken Wraps
I haven't been cooking much with pork lately and decided I needed to change that. You can only have chicken or turkey every day of the week for so long before you get really bored with it. Seafood is expensive, and a once-or-twice a month type purchase. I'm trying to cut down on the red… Continue reading Carnitas Bowls with Chimichurri
Sundays are probably my least favorite days of the week. Since I work overnights, I basically get a half day on Sundays. I'll typically wake up around 3 am, and then be back in bed at 11 in the morning. I get all my cooking done on Sundays, but that's about the only "fun" thing… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Salad
It's been awhile since I've made a casserole. Though they're one of my favorite ways to make meals, casseroles don't really scream keto.

I have been able to make up… Continue reading Pesto Caprese Chicken Casserole

I'm not usually one to make homemade burgers or burger patties (thanks, frozen pre-made versions), but I decided it was time to start. Red meat was out, so I went… Continue reading Turkey Burgers with Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli
Continuing the international theme this morning... This time I'm tackling one of my favoite Indian dishes: biryani. My favorite Indian restaurant in the OKC metro is Himalayas in Moore, and their chicken biryani scores high marks in my books. They also have the best gulab jamun (fried dough balls in an absolutely sinful syrup), dal,… Continue reading Chicken Biryani with Cauliflower Rice
I don't think I've ever met a meatball I didn't like. I've made meatballs a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. Chicken and zucchini. meatball parmesan, buffalo chicken, cajun---meatballs are a go-to snack item for me. I found this old Betty Crocker recipe the other day in my collection and tweaked it a… Continue reading Turkey Taco Meatballs
