Goodness, I love a little garden. I started a small vegetable garden last year that ended with mixed results. For instance, all six of my zucchini plants succumbed to squash bugs last year. I just couldn't keep up with those absolutely vile creatures. But, all of my chard plants produced a bunch of foliage throughout… Continue reading Mustard Greens with Smoked Turkey

Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots
Carrots have really fallen out of favor amongst home cooks in recent years. It could be because of how sweet they are, or because a lot of people don't like them. Whatever the reason, carrots aren't typically served as sides in American dinners in 2023. It's a crying shame, honestly. Carrots are so versatile and… Continue reading Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots
Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
Egg salad is a classic, historical sandwich spread. The first known printed recipe for egg salad came in 1896 inside a Boston School of Cooking book, also known as a Fannie Farmer (the author) book. Egg salad can be served at tea time or other afternoon gatherings. It's the perfect meatless sandwich for a light… Continue reading Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
Maple Pork Sheet Pan Dinner
Of all the squashes in the world, delicata squash has to be my favorite. It's slightly sweet, slightly nutty, and the perfect ingredient for a fall dinner. It's so great you don't even have to peel it. I always eat the squash skin and all. If you can find delicata at your grocery store, I… Continue reading Maple Pork Sheet Pan Dinner
Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
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
