Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last. I'm talking casseroles, stews, and big batches of meat to make for sandwiches. This casserole is the quintessential "make in a pinch" dinner. It's a retro classic that has stood… Continue reading Classic King Ranch Casserole

Kung Pao Chicken
When we visited Bozeman, Montana this summer Rob and I stumbled upon a cute and quirky little spice shop. I loaded up with all the spice blends that smelled the best (an incredible garlic and herb one, plus Italian seasoning) and then got things I needed but couldn't easily find in OKC (aji amarillo chile… Continue reading Kung Pao Chicken

Chinese takeout fills a really important niche in my life. If I'm feeling down, or feeling homebound, ordering Chinese will instantly put me in a good mood.

There used to be one in Norman when I first moved down here 7 years ago, too, but it unfortunately shut down. Texadelphia was one… Continue reading Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Turkey & Poblano Egg Muffins
Breakfast isn't really my thing anymore. Since doing keto, I rarely eat breakfast. Intermittent fasting really is my go-to to start the day. Here's how I do it: -Wake up at 10 p.m. -Drink coffee (usually bulletproof) until 1 a.m. -Eat my first meal at 4:30 a.m. If you just put "p.m." in place of… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Egg Muffins
