Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese. You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers

Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Hawaiian Pasta Salad
If you've only been going to the grocery store once every few weeks, you've probably been stocking up just like I have. I'm finally getting to the bottom of my freezer and grocery day is still a few days away. I've managed to use up a lot of old frozen products I had (roasted green… Continue reading Hawaiian Pasta Salad
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump. It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Southwestern Turkey Salad
It's finally here. The day that I can debut pictures taken with my new camera! I'm still figuring out all the kinks. I'm not a still photographer. I was a videographer for years, using big & bulky Panasonic and DVC cameras...not small, beautiful DSLR's. I've also discovered I might be blinder than I realized---several pictures… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Salad
Classic King Ranch Casserole
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
Extra Pepper 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. We've got a ton of quick Chinese takeout spots around the city, and I usually don't order from the same one twice. I'll switch between Singapore noodles (curry… Continue reading Extra Pepper Chicken
Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
Denver omelettes are the quintessential breakfast for Midwesterners. If I'm not ordering traditional Eggs Benedict, you can catch me perusing the omelette section of any breakfast menu for that delightful omelette. There's just something about it that calls me back each and every time. Denver omelettes are simple: ham, bell pepper and onion. That's it,… Continue reading Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
Sausage and Peppers Stuffed Meatloaf
If there is one thing you rarely see on my blog, it's meatloaf. It's not that I don't make meatloaf. It's a staple in my house. I love everything about the easy dinner meal. The problem with blogging about meatloaf is taking the pictures. Meatloaf just doesn't...look good. At all. Sometimes it will look like… Continue reading Sausage and Peppers Stuffed Meatloaf
