For Christmas, my dad bought me this countertop hydroponic garden that can grow herbs and small vegetables. Knowing me, I thought nothing would grow. I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard

Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
I work in local television news. I've been in this industry for more than 10 years, and at my current job for almost 8 years. Since I work in news, I've got to keep up with the news. You can ask me anything about state government, local laws, city decisionmakers, or current murders and I'll… Continue reading Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
German Sheet Pan Dinner
I'm on day 2 of this whole Keto diet thing and it's going well...so far. I may or may not have day-dreamt about a peppermint ice cream shake from Braum's the whole way home. I've been chugging water like it's my life blood. I've already blown through more than a gallon of water today. Multiple… Continue reading German Sheet Pan Dinner
Sheet Pan Roasted Kielbasa & Cabbage
Approximately 4 more days until Rob and I go on vacation. I. Cannot. Wait. It's going to be a hell of a trip. We're driving from OKC to Montana, which is about 24 hours, but we'll split it into 2 days. Unfortunately, we aren't leaving on Wednesday until Rob gets off at noon, so we'll… Continue reading Sheet Pan Roasted Kielbasa & Cabbage
Honey Mustard Chicken Chopped Salad
Despite my "trying to eat better" attitude and mindset, I had to try a new restaurant that opened in uptown Oklahoma City yesterday. A biscuit restaurant. Is there anything better than biscuits!? I actually had this idea years ago to open a restaurant centered solely around biscuits, but it looks like Hunny Bunny Biscuit Co.… Continue reading Honey Mustard Chicken Chopped Salad
Maple-Thyme Grilled Chicken
If you're like most people, you're probably already spending today preparing for the big feast on Thursday. I know people who are already thawing their turkey in the fridge and some folks who have prepped vegetable chopping for the cornbread stuffing. There will be a ton of leftovers stacked neatly in plastic containers on Friday.… Continue reading Maple-Thyme Grilled Chicken
Collard & Cabbage Slaw
It is one hot mother trucker outside. I just checked the temp...102. With a heat index of 107. Noooo thank you. I took our current, almost-uninhabitable heat wave into account when I went to the grocery store today. Salads, barbecue chicken, and sandwiches ruled on my list. Ain't nobody got time for turning on the… Continue reading Collard & Cabbage Slaw
Chicken, Spinach and Mushroom Baked Pasta
Goodbye, lovely carbs. Pasta. Bread. More pasta. I went to get my wedding dress altered the other day, and I've got bad news. It doesn't fit. Like at all. I need to shape up, and quick. It can be let out of course, but only so much. I swear I haven't gained any weight, either.… Continue reading Chicken, Spinach and Mushroom Baked Pasta
Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
Our Memorial Day weekend camping trip was a (partial) success! For it being my first time camping in almost ten years, I made it out relatively unscathed. No sunburns, no major injuries, and only a few itchy bug bites later---and I'm back to living in the modern world. It was nice getting away from it… Continue reading Sheet Pan Bratwurst & Pepper Sandwiches
