I've been on a health & wellness journey the last two weeks trying to lose weight and eat healthier. You may be thinking, how can eating cheesy quesadillas possibly be "eating healthier"?? It can be, I swear! If you rethink your choices and options for ingredients, you'd be surprised at what you can do. I'm… Continue reading Verde Chicken Quesadillas

Poblano Corn Chowder
I'm all in when it comes to soup making weather. Right now, my third soup of the season is sitting in my fridge. I've stocked up on canned tomatoes and beans, fresh potatoes and onions. There's a zillion different soup combinations out there just waiting for me to try. I didn't think I could find… Continue reading Poblano Corn Chowder
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
Turkey Fajita Kabobs
Today we ran a story about every state's most favorite "bad" movie. We're talking those guilty pleasures...those movies that are so bad they're good (or at least you enjoy them). Wild Wild West, Batman & Robin, and The Emoji Movie were most state's favorite bad movies. But Oklahoma had one that no other state had...… Continue reading Turkey Fajita Kabobs
Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
I had to google what the difference between chiles and peppers yesterday. And guess what? I still don't understand what separates them from each other. It has something to do with the chemical makeup of what makes them spicy or not, but that's all weird scientific semantics to me. Peppers, chiles, whatever you call them---they… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Tacos and I have a long, sordid history with each other. Many moons ago, when eating at a Mexican restaurant, I would always order enchiladas. If not enchiladas, than fajitas. If not fajitas, then quesadillas. You get the gist. Tacos were very far down on my list of things to eat. I used to cringe… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Stuffed Poblano Breakfast Bake
When you're limiting your diet to lean proteins like chicken, turkey, and seafood---trying to think of new meals centered around those three things can get tough. There's only so much you can do to chicken before you start to get burned out and bored. Seafood can get expensive, so that's a once-in-a-blue-moon type dinner. And… Continue reading Stuffed Poblano Breakfast Bake
Peruvian Chicken Soup
With the temperatures plummeting here in Oklahoma City, soup has been on my mind. Its warmth soothes the soul---and any achey joints brought on by the frigid tempearatures. I can't compain too much about the weather; I know some of you have gotten it a lot worse than us. Arctic blasts and feet of snow,… Continue reading Peruvian Chicken Soup
Poblano & Honey-Lime Chicken Tacos
Merry Christmas Eve! Rob & I had our Christmas yesterday, so now it's all about eating leftovers and playing with our gifts. We both made out like bandits! Rob's big gift to me I'm using right now: a new Chromebook! I'm in love with it and it's so much faster than my old laptop. For… Continue reading Poblano & Honey-Lime Chicken Tacos
Chile Relleno Soup
The lack of soups in my kitchen has been surprising. It's probably because we haven't had a bitterly freezing cold snap yet this fall/winter. When it's not cold, I'm not a fan of soups. I'm glad I made this soup this weekend, though. I had my final (!!!) deep cleaning on my teeth yesterday and… Continue reading Chile Relleno Soup
