One of the first things to grow in early spring is wild onions and garlic. Wild onions are a delicacy among the tribes in Oklahoma, and their fresh leek-like taste goes great in scrambled eggs. I've got quite a bit of wild onion and garlic growing in my backyard. I haven't been brave enough to… Continue reading French Onion Potatoes

Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
I've been testing out potato salad recipes lately trying to find one that I like. My family potato salad, which I posted years ago, is increasingly challenging to make. Not because it's a hard recipe, but because there's an ingredient that is almost impossible to find in the grocery store: green onion dip mix. If… Continue reading Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
I wish potatoes weren't so demonized. Are they the best carb in the world? No. But are they cheap, filling, and still full of essential vitamins and minerals? Absolutely. Potatoes deserve to be in your carb rotation, even if you do so sparingly. They don't deserve to be demonized and left out of the kitchen… Continue reading Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
If you're one of those people who like to have a plan for everything, then you're my kind of person. I like structure. I like planning for the worst-case scenario. I like routine. If anything unexpected comes up, I can lose my cool really quick. I meal prep lunches for the work week. If I… Continue reading Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
The last time I posted a recipe for shepherd's pie, someone from England commented and said it wasn't a shepherd's pie. Instead, what I had posted, was a "cottage pie". So I researched both of the recipes to see if there truly is a difference. It's really just semantics. I found out both terms are… Continue reading Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Are you a sweet potato or a pumpkin pie fan? Pumpkin pie seems to be the clear winner, with most people making or buying the dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sweet potato pie, though, started gaining more popularity over the last few years thanks to the famous Patti LaBelle pies you can buy at Walmart.… Continue reading Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Sweet Potato Skins
This is the perfect time of year to start experimenting in the kitchen. There are football games to be watched, pumpkin patches to be visited, and marshmallows to be roasted. Why not experiment with foods that are perfect for those events? I love to have a good snack during a football-watching-spree of a weekend. Sometimes… Continue reading Sweet Potato Skins
Shepherd’s Pie Soup
I'm still anxiously awaiting soup season. Sure, I'm making soups right now. But it just doesn't taste as good unless the temperatures outside hover around the low 50's. It looks like Oklahoma is on its way to another 2-3 weeks of above-average temperatures and no rain. What the heck is going on? Where is fall??… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie Soup
Slow Cooker Sausage Dinner
It's been a while since I've dug my slow cooker out of the depths of my largest cabinet. I usually make slow cooker meals in the fall and winter and store the big appliance during the warmer months. Most slow-cooker meals are hearty and stew-like and that just isn't very appealing when it's 105 degrees… Continue reading Slow Cooker Sausage Dinner
Mashed Potato Squash
I'm constantly in awe of all the foods out there that I do not know. I feel like my taste is very expansive. I've tried so many new, different foods over the years. Living in a "big" city definitely helps. So does being adventurous. Since moving to OKC ten years ago, I've tried lotus root,… Continue reading Mashed Potato Squash
