Sometimes people need to know the absolute basics of a recipe. How to bake a chicken. How to boil an egg. How to crisp up bacon. I get lost in making unique and extravagant recipes sometimes. I'm not an amateur home cook anymore, but there are plenty of people out there who need those basic… Continue reading Basic Hummus

Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
I've got an extremely short week at work this week (I'm just working Monday - Wednesday) because I'm headed off for an anniversary weekend adventure with my husband. Every year we try to go somewhere new (last year was canceled, obviously, due to COVID) and this year we'll be going to Canton, TX for the… Continue reading Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
I like to try different sauces. I guess you could call me a sauce queen. I have dozens of different sauces stashed in my pantry, fridge, and secondary cabinet. I'm a big fan of sauce that Trader Joe's offers. I'll try anything at least once. So when I saw a jar of Cajun Alfredo the… Continue reading Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
I like to incorporate a meatless meal at least once a week. Sometimes my meatless meal is simple: oatmeal for breakfast. Other times, I go out on a limb and make a meatless dinner. It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
Sweet Chili Turkey Meatballs
I'm here today to admit a problem. I am a sauce hoarder. I can't help myself. I buy sauces that look or sound good, use them once or twice, then they're left to languish in my fridge. You should see the door of my fridge. It's packed to the brim with dozens of different sauces.… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey Meatballs
Chicken & Mango Skewers
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
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
