I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've been collecting cookbooks for about a decade now. My collection has grown to take up almost a full room in my house! One of my most prized possessions is an Oklahoma Senate Cookbook. Wives of Senators and Senate staff compiled the cookbook I believe in the late 1970s to… Continue reading Mama LaReese’s Famous Lasagna

Skillet Salisbury Steak and Potatoes
When I first met my husband, he was the epitome of a bachelor. He lived in a tiny apartment and his only furniture was a bed (with no bedding, of course) and two recliners. He lived off of fast food and frozen dinners. Did he know how to cook? Yes. He had, shockingly, a pretty… Continue reading Skillet Salisbury Steak and Potatoes
Mississippi Meatballs
Years ago Mississippi Pot Roast took the internet by storm. You couldn't go through two websites without getting a recipe for the roast. People were making it left and right, adding pictures to recipe Facebook groups, and talking about it almost non-stop. The super salty, juicy roast was a smash hit. Forget your grandma's dry… Continue reading Mississippi Meatballs
Hunter’s Casserole
I'm obsessed with British food TikTok. I fallen into a deep spiral of Sunday roast dinner, Chinese takeaway, chips & full English breakfast videos. One thing that has stood out to me is the British way to roast potatoes. I've made roasted potatoes MANY times in my life, but they've never turned out like I've… Continue reading Hunter’s Casserole
BBQ Biscuit Cups
It's getting harder and harder to come up with new lunch ideas for my husband and I. I'm running out of salad ideas. There's also only so much you can do with ground turkey and chicken (the meats we usually stockpile). I've had to resort to cobbling things together to see if they work. A… Continue reading BBQ Biscuit Cups
Slow Cooker Ravioli Casserole
This weekend, I ate a frozen lasagna for the first time in years. It wasn't the best thing I've ever tasted. I remember them being SO GOOD when I was a kid. Now that I'm much older and wiser, and have had homemade lasagna numerous times, the frozen kind just isn't that good. However--I do… Continue reading Slow Cooker Ravioli Casserole
One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner
I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner
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
Chuckwagon Casserole
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, I implore you to buy one. Are they kind of a pain to clean? Sure. Are they heavy and take up a lot of room in the kitchen? Yes. But are they the king of cookware? Absolutely. Cast iron skillets are versatile. One second you can be… Continue reading Chuckwagon Casserole
Easy Oven Baked BBQ Brisket
There are some foods that have made me far too intimidated to cook them. Macarons I'll never try. It sounds WAY too stressful. A whole duck or a goose, no way. That's completely out of my wheelhouse. Classic Texas-style barbecue? I don't own a smoker, so how could I possibly do that? Well, it turns… Continue reading Easy Oven Baked BBQ Brisket
