I think I've finally gotten the hang of grilling things. After years of messing things up with a charcoal grill, we finally bought a propane grill and it is MUCH easier for me to use. I tried it out this weekend and cooked up some kabobs and pork tenderloin. To my surprise, both came out… Continue reading Chicken & Mango Skewers

Hawaiian Dogs
There's something special about a family-owned meat company here in Oklahoma City. Schwab Meat Co. has been around since the late 1800's, and has been in OKC at the same location since 1912. The company was started by a German immigrant named George Schwab who had a knack for making sausage. He brought his cherished… Continue reading Hawaiian Dogs
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
A few weeks ago, I bought a big pack of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I typically grab a pack of the boneless, skinless version, but these were much cheaper. I divvied up the portions and froze most of them, but left one pack to make this skillet dinner. There's nothing quite like chicken thighs. They're… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
I'm finally getting to the bottom of a horde of recipes I've cooked over the last few weeks. I got backed up for some reason and I'm about to go out of town, so I need to get through most of the horde. I made this recipe for my husband's lunches a few weeks ago… Continue reading Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli

I make two meals for my husband to take to work for lunch, then a few meals for dinners throughout the week (plus snacks and salads when I decide to make them). I've been experimenting with what my husband will eat for lunch because I want… Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Italian Sausage Saute with Garlic Parmesan Polenta
I had forgotten how much I love polenta. It's like this wonderfully homey corn cake that goes so well with any kind of pasta sauce you can put on top of it. I couldn't find the tube stuff at the grocery store the other day (it's a guilty pleasure of mine, I'm sorry for all… Continue reading Italian Sausage Saute with Garlic Parmesan Polenta
Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Have you ever had Wing Stop? Have you ever tried their garlic-parmesan or lemon pepper wings? Those are my two favorite flavors of wings and nobody seems to do them as well as Wing Stop. They're so crispy and flavorful and absolutely crave-worthy. I dream of those chicken wings in my sleep... I tried to… Continue reading Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Chicken Paprikash Casserole
I'm sure most of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone by now, but if you managed to freeze some turkey this recipe is for you. The weekend before Thanksgiving I meal prepped just one casserole to eat for lunch at work. I didn't want to take up to much space in my fridge and I knew… Continue reading Chicken Paprikash Casserole
