After more than a week of not leaving the house, the walls start to feel like they're closing in on you. Don't get me wrong, I love social distancing. Our apartment is cozy and we've got everything we need right here. I'm a homebody and someone who secretly rejoices when plans get canceled. However, I… Continue reading Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal

BLT Breakfast Salad
I was a photographer for television stations at the beginning of my career. The term "photographer" is a little misleading, though. I was a videographer. There's a massive difference between how people shoot pictures and how people shoot video...and how people shoot television news. I knew my camera like the back of my hand (a… Continue reading BLT Breakfast Salad
Zesty Winter Pork Stew
It's 2020 but here I am still living in 2019. Since I spent months baking and posting holiday recipes, I'm backed up about a dozen of my normal, everyday meals. I've got salads, dinners, soups and snacks. All of the recipes are just waiting on me to post them so the world can see. Once… Continue reading Zesty Winter Pork Stew
Sausage & Apple Hash
The fall and winter vibes are hitting hard in my house. I feel like I'm constantly chopping apples, sipping pumpkin spice coffee, or washing my hands with peppermint-scented soap. I love this time of year. It's both Christmasy and Fall-y and beautiful and cool. I wish every month of the year could be like this.… Continue reading Sausage & Apple Hash
Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing
I'm living for weird and different salads this summer. Another thing I'm living for? Making my own salad dressings. So, I may have flubbed it a bit on the homemade caesar dressing, but lessons learned. Now, I'm a salad dressing making machine. Just call me the Dressing Wizard. My preferred dressing of choice is a… Continue reading Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing
Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Snacks play a really important part in my life. I can't go more than a few hours without a pick-me-up, and having homemade snacks at the drop of a hat is a must. I usually take a snack break around 3 in the morning (remember, I work nights!) and that's after eating my "breakfast" at… Continue reading Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
I've been digging on cauliflower since it became cool to eat it. I'm talking 20+ years ago, y'all. When I was a kid, my favorite veggie in a vegetable tray was the raw cauliflower (dunked in oodles of ranch, of course). My family has been using it as a side dish for years. One of… Continue reading Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
Chicken Bruschetta Zoodles
Fresh, crispy vegetables. Sweet, ripe tomatoes. Grilled chicken. Summer is finally here, y'all, and I'm loving it. I'm sure in about 2 weeks I'll be completely over the wicked Oklahoma heat, but for now---I'm soaking up the sunshine, what little of it I actually see. I love summer produce. Everything from squash to cucumbers, tomatoes… Continue reading Chicken Bruschetta Zoodles
Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
