Oklahoma City is home to a vast restaurant landscape. There are cuisines of every variety, and great restaurants that make them. I've found favorite Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Bolivian, Thai, and Vietnamese restaurants. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city was a Korean restaurant. But why, oh why, is it so hard to find… Continue reading Greek Chicken Pasta Salad

Marinated Chopped Veggie Salad
I've been on a salad kick lately. We're not even in the hottest part of the summer, but I want cool meals for EVERY meal. I made two mega salads to get me through the week, but honestly, it will probably be enough to feed an army. This salad is one that you should bring… Continue reading Marinated Chopped Veggie Salad
Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Pepperoncini and other pickled peppers are having a moment right now. Maybe it's because of the viral "grinder" sandwich recipe you may have seen on TikTok. Or maybe it's because they deserve to be in the spotlight. Pickled peppers are freaking delicious. I've been buying pickled pepperoncini, cherry and jalapeno peppers in bulk for a… Continue reading Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
One of the first restaurants I ate at after moving to Oklahoma City in 2012 was Texadelphia. There was once a few different locations of Texadelphia in OKC, but now there is only one left in Bricktown. That's the one I went to when I first moved here. Texadelphia is a Philly cheesesteak place with… Continue reading Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
Pork Reuben Wraps
I was never a big sauerkraut fan growing up. I'm sure not many kids were, either. Fermented cabbage isn't really on most kids' lists of favorite foods. As I've grown older, I've learned to love the stuff. I especially love it on a classic Reuben sandwich. There was a great deli for years in uptown… Continue reading Pork Reuben Wraps

Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Spring 2023 in Oklahoma is unlike any other I've experienced. Everything is behind. Daffodils are just now starting to bloom in my area when they should be close to dying by now. I've only spotted a few violets here and there when they should be everywhere. The redbud trees are just now blooming when they… Continue reading Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Green Goddess Chicken Salad
If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad
Green Goddess Chickpea Salad
There's little buds on the redbud trees and the Bradford Pear trees are blossoming. Spring is in the air here in Oklahoma! In just a few weeks, everything will green up and the daffodils will start blooming. Spring is my favorite time of year in Oklahoma, not just because of the return of beauty to… Continue reading Green Goddess Chickpea Salad
Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are difficult to eat at work. I eat lunch at my desk (I know I shouldn't) because I'm swamped most of the time. Since I eat at my desk instead of in our very nice break room, I typically only bring sandwiches or salads to work. Anything I don't have to reheat works… Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
