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

Spicy Tuna Wraps
I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps
Verde Chicken Quesadillas
I've been on a health & wellness journey the last two weeks trying to lose weight and eat healthier. You may be thinking, how can eating cheesy quesadillas possibly be "eating healthier"?? It can be, I swear! If you rethink your choices and options for ingredients, you'd be surprised at what you can do. I'm… Continue reading Verde Chicken Quesadillas
Turkey & Wild Rice Salad
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Our small, pandemic-fied Christmas meant it was just me and my husband over the holidays. I don't really know how to just cook for two, so I have a TON of leftover right now. I've been repurposing them when I can. My husband will be eating Shepherd's… Continue reading Turkey & Wild Rice Salad
Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
I've been in the mood for lettuce wraps lately. I mean, I've been really craving them. I love using crunchy butter/Boston lettuce and wrapping up stuff like ground chicken, Thai-style vegetables and even just lunch meat. Lettuce wraps are always a super refreshing meal and great for a lunch when working at home. You could… Continue reading Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
Greek Chicken and White Bean Salad
Anyone else hoarding cans of beans right now? It's the perfect time of year to do that. You need beans for just about any soup you want to make, so why not have a stash in your pantry during the cooler months? I'm finally starting to thin my stash out a bit, but I plan… Continue reading Greek Chicken and White Bean Salad
Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments. The restaurant came highly rated from all of our friends who live in the Yukon/West OKC area, and one thing they recommended was… Continue reading Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
We've been eating a lot of sandwiches lately. One of my favorite things to do is get some Red Bag Chicken from Aldi (if you know, you know), a brioche bun and some pickles and make knock-off Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. I'm also quite fond of a regular turkey, cheese and mustard sandwich. I'll live on tuna… Continue reading Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
Grilled Portobello Sandwiches with Roasted Red Pepper Mayo
I've been having a hard time keeping fresh produce in my house. Either it gets eaten up in a jiffy, or it goes bad before I can get around to using it. I don't know if it's just a poor produce selection at the store, or if maybe my fridge is too hot or too… Continue reading Grilled Portobello Sandwiches with Roasted Red Pepper Mayo
Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
You all probably know by now how obsessed I am with pork tenderloin. I've been buying it up in bulk at the grocery store lately because it has been on sale. That's why you've seen so many recipes on here using the delicious cut of pork. I couldn't find any regular, unflavored tenderoin at the… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
