My pursuit of a good pasta substitute continues today. I've tried just about everything: zoodles, spaghetti squash---but this is the first time I've tried pasta made out of something other than sticky, glutenous carbs. While perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's last week, I found a red lentil pasta. Intriguing. I've had whole wheat pasta… Continue reading Shrimp Fajita Pasta

Beef and Broccoli Ramen
Strange comfort foods have always plagued me. No matter how hard I try to eat healthy and try new things in the kitchen, I'll always come back to those pre-packaged, not-so-good for you comfort foods. I'm talking toaster streudels, Eggo waffles, Fritos with bean dip...and ramen. Ah, ramen. The little 10 cent packages that contain… Continue reading Beef and Broccoli Ramen
Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole
The wind sure is sweeping down the plain here in Oklahoma. We're gusting to 30 miles per hour almost, and have already seen a few grassfires spark out west. There's an ugly brown hue replacing the brilliant blue sky. Even when we're blessed with some warmer weather, we're cursed with these hellish winds.

Parmesan-Crusted Fried Tortellini

Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
Merry Christmas, y'all! I hope you're having a great Christmas day. Rob and I both had to work, but we've made the most of it. It definitely helps that are coworkers are like a second family to us, too. Working in television on a holidy is both mind-numbingly boring and crazed at the same time.… Continue reading Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
Rigatoni with Sausage and Collard Greens
I was on a mission. A mission from the food Gods. A mission of culinary extremes. A mission above all missions. I was set and ready to go wherever my wheels would take me...to get Swiss chard? Yes. Swiss chard. For whatever reason, that task was seemingly impossible. Chard has disappeared from the lavish mist… Continue reading Rigatoni with Sausage and Collard Greens
Egg Roll Noodle Bowl
No matter how hard I try, any time I cook something remotely Chinese, it never tastes as good as my favorite Chinese restaurant: Fung's. I know it's because I don't normally cook Chinese food. I also didn't grow up in a traditional Chinese family. But I try really hard! I shop at Super Cao (an… Continue reading Egg Roll Noodle Bowl
