During the Dust Bowl/Great Depression, families in Oklahoma got creative with their meals to make them last a long time. Onion burgers were born to stretch ground beef, which was high priced and hard to find. Potatoes and hot dogs were inexpensive so they made their way into most meals.

Frico Chicken with Kale & Mushrooms
You know those little baked cheese snacks that are all cheese and nothing else? This recipe is kind of like that. The breading on the chicken is just cheese, that's it.

Creamy Meatball Soup
I can count on one hand the "winter-like" days we've had so far this year. It's been relatively mild compared to past winters. We've lucked out and had many weekends of 60 degree weather.

The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday. It was everything you could imagine: sparkly lights, loud noises, sweat-dripping-down-your-back fun. We stayed out there for several hours soaking in… Continue reading Italian Marinated Mushrooms
