There's a restaurant in downtown OKC that holds a special place in my heart: Texadelphia. I'm pretty sure it's a regional chain, and several restaurants can be found in Texas. There used to be one in Norman when I first moved down here 7 years ago, too, but it unfortunately shut down. Texadelphia was one… Continue reading Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
It's a cool, brisk 60 degrees outside. We had a cold front blow in Friday and it appears as if it is here to stay. Rob and I have been burning our Bath & Body Works fall candles (pumpkin pecan waffles for the win!) and getting into the fall spirit. We only have about a… Continue reading Southwestern Squash Casserole
The times are changing. Although it's still 90 degrees here in Oklahoma, fall is right behind that warm southernly breeze. My fall decor has already made its appearance. The pumpkin spice candles are burning. I'm digging jackets out of my closet. I'm eating hotter foods and thinking about soups, y'all. Soups.

I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing

I don't know if it was just not being prepared right, or if the kind of salmon being used wasn't quality...but I hated salmon. Flash… Continue reading Greek Salmon Kabobs
You guys. It has been unbearably hot here. It got up to 108 degrees on Friday. Thursday night, at 10 p.m., one hour after the sun went down---it was still 100 degrees outside. Add to the disgusting heat this: my car's air conditioning doesn't work. My car is a raggedy beast, but it's lasted my… Continue reading BLT & Balsamic Chicken Salad
