It's absolutely beautiful in the countryside right now.The birds are chirping, the daffodils are blooming (in record numbers!) and the grass is slowly starting to green up on the lawn.It's easy to get lost in the tranquility out here. I find myself looking out the window a lot more often when I'm trying to work… Continue reading Savory Breakfast Bowl

Quinoa Pizza Bake
I've got one car stuck in the driveway, my husband working from home in my office right now, and all the faucets in my house set to a steady stream of water so they don't freeze up (again). If Oklahoma makes it through this insane winter blast, it will be a miracle. We just simply… Continue reading Quinoa Pizza Bake
Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Who's here for a delicious buffalo chicken recipe? Good, good. I've got a winner with this one. If buffalo-style ANYTHING is your cup of tea, you're in luck. I put as much buffalo and ranch flavor in this salad as I could. Sorry, no blue cheese here. I thought about putting blue cheese crumbles inside,… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Mother Earth Bowl
Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl
Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
Tropical Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Ok. Can it just be spring already? This whole back-and-forth, tug-of-war winter and spring have been having with each other is getting so old. One day it's 70 days and breezy. The next day it's 24 and snowing. What?? It's a week past Easter and we had freezing rain and snow. That's unheard of here.… Continue reading Tropical Chicken & Quinoa Salad
General Tso’s Shrimp Bowls
Do you ever have those days that start out fine, then quickly snowball into an avalanche of bad? That was me today. First, I've got a bone to pick with Tuesdays. Tuesdays are easily the worst days of the week. I feel bad for Mondays, really. They get all the flack for being the beginning… Continue reading General Tso’s Shrimp Bowls
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers
It's 5:44 in the morning and I'm writing this blog post (insert teeth-gritting emoji here). The sadder part? I've been up since 3:45. Why? Because of my weirdo sleep schedule, of course. Since I work overnights on the weekdays, when it comes to the weekends, no matter how hard I try, I can't help but get… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers
Texas Tabbouleh
I've spent the better part of the afternoon sweeping up roly poly and cricket carcasses around the house. For some weird reason, my house has turned into a bug graveyard. This dead bug explosion has driven me to the brink. There are also dead little black beetles everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I have no clue what they are or where they are coming… Continue reading Texas Tabbouleh
