Pork tenderloin is a great cut of meat for those on a budget. It's extremely cheap for the amount of meat you get. I can buy a big two-pack, weighing about 4 lbs. total, for $14 at Costco. Tenderloin is also a very versatile protein. You can use it like you would pork chops, and… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy

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
Meaty Pinto Beans
Yep, that's the title of this recipe. Meaty beans. I found it in one of my old church cookbooks and decided to keep the vague title. These beans are packed full of, no shock here, MEAT. I even added more meat to the pot (tasso ham) to beef it up (no pun intended) more. I… Continue reading Meaty Pinto Beans
Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
I feel like Brussels Sprouts get a bad rap. People either love them or hate them, and most people HATE them. Maybe it's their stinky smell (it's rather unpleasant when you microwave them especially) or their thick, crunchy texture. I believe most people have just had them served all wrong. Boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
Chili Lime Shrimp & Rice
Shrimp has always been one of my favorite foods. It doesn't matter how you cook it, I'll eat it. I've been known to ask for shrimp for my birthday dinner. Boiled, fried, cocktail---all of the options are good enough in my book. As I've grown older, I've found I rarely have time to pick up… Continue reading Chili Lime Shrimp & Rice
Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
It's a chilly one out there today. We're under an ice storm warning for the next several days and I'm hoping and praying our electricity doesn't go out. I love how Oklahoma skips right over fall and dives head first into winter. Leaves changing colors, what's that? Cool fall temps with sweaters? Never heard of… Continue reading Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
Extra Pepper Chicken
Chinese takeout fills a really important niche in my life. If I'm feeling down, or feeling homebound, ordering Chinese will instantly put me in a good mood. We've got a ton of quick Chinese takeout spots around the city, and I usually don't order from the same one twice. I'll switch between Singapore noodles (curry… Continue reading Extra Pepper Chicken
Sausage & Peppers with Cauliflower Rice
Sometimes you just need a quick and breezy dinner to get on the table in seconds flat. This is one of those meals. Born out of my obsession with sausage & peppers, this recipe has become my go-to on super busy workdays. It takes no time to put together (less than 20 minutes) and keeps… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Cauliflower Rice
Tex-Mex Turkey Sloppy Joe’s
We've pretty much gotten rid of beef from our diet. Except for the occasional steak (you can't completely give up beef from your diet if your a Texan) beef is rarely made in my kitchen. A good substitute for any ground beef dish is ground turkey. Season it up well and it's pretty much and… Continue reading Tex-Mex Turkey Sloppy Joe’s
Breakfast Skillet Scramble
Rob & I had the most excellent day trip to Guthrie, Oklahoma over the weekend. I told you about the incredible cookbooks I bought at a few antique stores, now I'll let you in on what else or little escapade had in store. We were originally in town to see the Aaron Sorkin play, "A… Continue reading Breakfast Skillet Scramble
