We're in for a long dry spell this week. Temperatures are about to soar into the upper 90's and there's not a lick of rain in the forecast. The humidity will be through the roof, too, making temperatures feel more like they're in the 100's. It's definitely the dog days of summer right now. I'm… Continue reading Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing

Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
There's a gigantic tub of hummus at Costco that reels me in every time I go there. I think it's about 3 pounds of hummus inside the typical plastic container. I've found two different flavors over the last several months that I like, but the red pepper hummus is probably my favorite. I put that… Continue reading Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
I've been really breaking out of my shell when it comes to vegetarian/vegan meals. This recipe is not something I would have made a few years ago. I like to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet, but this recipe is a little out there. First, you make your own bean spread (almost like a hummus… Continue reading Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
I've been craving iceberg lettuce lately. I know, iceberg doesn't have a taste. But there's nothing that has its refreshing crunch. It's the best lettuce to use on burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Hands down. It has very little nutritional value and is just basically water packaged into a lettuce leaf, but it's the most refreshing… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
I'm ready to make salads upon salads this spring and summer. The spring produce is out and ready for the taking. There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad. It's especially helpful when you want to avoid overheating your house with the stove and the… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
Colossal Chicken Salad
By now you probably know that I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've got cookbooks stashed in every nook and cranny of my house. There's two huge bins plus one gigantic bookshelf packed full of cookbooks. I keep buying new ones even though I have no idea what to do with them. I may have a… Continue reading Colossal Chicken Salad
Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I have become obsessed with turkey roasts at the grocery store. They are usually nestled in with the whole turkeys in the poultry section of the store. They're much smaller than a whole turkey (duh) and they are cheaper (not by pound, but cheaper than buying a whole turkey). I had never noticed them before… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Copycat Kardashian Deluxe Salad
I've always been a huge fan of reality TV. It may seem mindless, stupid, or not worth most people's time. But there's something very relaxing about watching reality TV. It soothes the soul after a long day. Its purpose is what television was intended for: an escape. I've been watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians… Continue reading Copycat Kardashian Deluxe Salad
Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
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
