I had my first swig of Guinness this weekend. Can you believe it? I've spent 32 years on this planet with a very Irish name and never had a drop of Guinness. The verdict? It's some, ahem, potent beer. It's not really my cup of tea. I like my beers light, refreshing, and almost like soda. Guinness… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy

Cowboy Stew
The polar vortex is officially in Oklahoma. Yesterday the entire state was one gigantic skating rink. Today, the ice is a little bit better, but it's about 18 degrees right now with wind chills hovering right around zero. This is NOT my favorite type of weather. It's going to be a long, cold next few… Continue reading Cowboy Stew
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Are you sick of casseroles yet? Have no fear. This might be the last one you see on here for a while. I'm still trying to get rid of all that ham I made a few weeks ago, and with Thanksgiving this week, I've been making casseroles like a fiend to throw something easy together… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
The mission, if you choose to accept, is to make something different for breakfast this week. Breakfast is often the most overlooked meal of the day. I spent years skipping breakfast and starving to death before lunch. I've since changed up my routine and can't make it in the mornings if I don't eat something.… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
BBQ Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie
Rob and I celebrated our Valentine's Day yesterday, since we both work weird hours during the week. He had gotten us a couple's massage from the massage school next to our gym, and I have to say wow. That was the first time I had ever gotten a professional, hour-long massage and it was incredible.… Continue reading BBQ Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie
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
BBQ Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
The temperatures are dipping outside, leaves have started to fall, and autumn recipe books have hit shelves. Looks like fall is really just right around the corner! I couldn't be more happy...fall is definitely my favorite season of the year. Also, we're now less than two months away from my wedding! I'm nervous and scared… Continue reading BBQ Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast
Oklahoma City has really seen a Renaissance of their food scene. It's something I try to hype up as much as possible---because outsiders don't give OKC a second look when it comes to our culinary abilities. There are no Zagat ratings here, every food magazine EVER just talks about how great Austin's restaurants are (insert side-eye… Continue reading Spanish Chicken and Potato Roast
