My garden is booming right now. May and June are some of the busiest months when it comes to my outdoor plants. My moon flowers are taking over the back flower gardens.

One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner
I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner
Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Oklahoma City is home to a vast restaurant landscape. There are cuisines of every variety, and great restaurants that make them. I've found favorite Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Bolivian, Thai, and Vietnamese restaurants. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city was a Korean restaurant. But why, oh why, is it so hard to find… Continue reading Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
One of my favorite places to eat in college was Olive Garden. That's a weird statement, I know. But listen, my small little town didn't have much to choose from. And as a broke college student, you couldn't get a much better deal than OG's unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. My go-to was the Zuppa… Continue reading Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
Italian Linguine Pasta Salad
When you read as many cookbooks as I do, a lot of things start to repeat themselves. In old church cookbooks you can expect to see pasta, jello, and fruit salads in the "salad" section. These cookbooks generally lack leafy green salads. You'll find a veritable feast of casseroles in the "main dishes" section, too.… Continue reading Italian Linguine Pasta Salad

Since we're still experiencing slightly subzero temperatures, soup recipes are still on my mind. I've slowed down… Continue reading Mexican Wedding Soup

I'm exhausted. For my dinners this week, I made my meal prepping easy by cooking a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Creamy Pepperoncini Pasta
Do you ever spend hours scrolling through recipes on Pinterest, Pepper or Yummly only to see the same recipes you've seen time and time again? It's hard for me nowadays to find something new and exciting on those apps since I've created more than 1,020 recipes for this blog.

Shrimp Scampi Ramen
I've had this blog for about 10 years now. When I first started the blog, it was named "The Recipe Box Challenge". The whole idea behind the name was that I'd draw random, handwritten recipe cards from my half dozen recipe boxes and then cook said recipes. Great idea for a blog, terrible name. The… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Ramen
