There's a nip in the air, but the sun's warmth makes it better. A light beat pulsates in the distance. The smell of deep-fried foods wafts through the streets. Vibrant colors of oil pants can be seen in the distance. It's a spring rite of passage for Oklahoma City. The everlasting, annual event that marks… Continue reading Strawberries Newport

BBQ Chicken Bowls
There's been radio silence on my end the past few days because I haven't been able to move. Literally. Not because I'm injured, or in pain---no. It's because our air conditioner went out late Saturday night, and Rob and I have spent the last two hottest days of the year (so far) with just the… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Bowls
Winter Fruit Salad
I've been battling a nasty little sinus infection for the past week. I swear, I've been sick for a full-blown month. Which is strange, because before this I hadn't been sick in almost two years.

My best friend drove up from Austin, and another bestie from… Continue reading Farmers Market Stew

I'm nervous and scared… Continue reading BBQ Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
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
