I'm wiped, and it's only Tuesday. I pumped up the incline on my treadmill this morning and sweat BUCKETS. Literally buckets were pouring off of me. I don't know why I really wanted to push it to the max this morning---maybe because I'm working all week? Literally. I work 7 days this week! It's okay… Continue reading Easy Skillet Chili Mac

Sloppy Joe Pasta
A break would be nice. A long, extended weekend would be wonderful right now. A day to recoup, exhale, and relax. I think just about everyone could use that. I've been knees-deep in work lately. Severe weather season is slowly dragging to a close. By June 1st, we usually are out of the woods. June… Continue reading Sloppy Joe Pasta
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
Chicken Marsala Orzo
After a weekend away from my apartment, I'm back. We had to pack up the cats and a few belongings while our complex redid our kitchen and bathroom, so I wasn't able to get my meal prepping done this weekend like I usually do. I was, however, able to make one thing to take with… Continue reading Chicken Marsala Orzo
Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
I've come a long way since trying my first zucchini noodle. In 2016, I made a chow mein with them for the first time. I cooked the zucchini too much then and ended up with a floppy zucchini noodle. The dish still tasted okay, but the texture threw me for a loop. Fast forward to… Continue reading Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
Greek Chicken Noodle Soup
Who need chicken noodle soup when you can make it better? And I mean MUCH better. Season chicken in Greek seasoning and cook this soup with orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and kalamata olives. Soup has never tasted better!
Spinach and Feta Mini Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles
The Halloween stores are popping up around the metro, so I guess that means it's officially fall. Rob & I stopped by one today that set up shop in the still-warm corpse of a Toys "R" Us store in Norman. Have you noticed all of those Halloween stores are the same? The store we stopped… Continue reading Spinach and Feta Mini Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles
Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
It's been a long, fun-filled last two weeks. Rob & I just got home on Tuesday, and after three days back at work I'm back to this lovely corner of the internet I call home. We roadtripped to Montana to meet with my family in Great Falls, traveled to Havre for my uncle's wedding, then… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
Shrimp Fajita Pasta
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
