The time has come. After months of 60 degree weather, no snow in sight---we're finally getting a winter storm. It may not seem like much, but after more than a year without snow, I can all but guarantee Oklahoma is NOT prepared for the 4-6 inches we might get tonight. But I'm ready for it.… Continue reading Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus

Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

I make sure and wash my hands 27 times after cutting or touching chicken. Then you have the "stuffing" part to… Continue reading Unstuffed Italian Chicken
Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
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
