I'm souped out for the forseeable future. I've probably made more soups this winter than ever before. It's been a rough one. We've had the lowest temperatures Oklahoma has ever had before, tons of snow, and an insane ice storm to kick off the season. I'm ready for warmer temps, blooming flowers, and cold beers… Continue reading Fully Loaded Tomato Soup

Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Have you ever had Wing Stop? Have you ever tried their garlic-parmesan or lemon pepper wings? Those are my two favorite flavors of wings and nobody seems to do them as well as Wing Stop. They're so crispy and flavorful and absolutely crave-worthy. I dream of those chicken wings in my sleep... I tried to… Continue reading Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
I'm so glad Oklahoma is back to normal. After a two-week deep freeze, the ground is thawed and the temperature is rising. I can go back to living my normal life instead of huddling under blankets and wearing gloves inside at my desk. It's wonderful being above freezing, and something I always took for granted...… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
Spicy Tuna Wraps
I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps
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
General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet
My grocery pickup order is set and ready to go for tomorrow. I've got a pile of firewood right outside the door waiting to be burned down. Our little homestead is prepared to last this entire, extremely long cold snap. I haven't been outside since Saturday. I'm pretty sure my car is frozen over and… Continue reading Chicken, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Skillet
Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
The air is brisk. The salt trucks are driving up and down my street. The heater is working overdrive right now. I half-considered not unraveling myself out of my bedroom blankets this morning. Winter is here and it sucks. I haven't been outside in days. I haven't seen the sun in days. The temperature hasn't… Continue reading Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
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
Air Fryer Nashville Hot Chicken
The air fryer I bought 3 months ago is now probably my most used kitchen appliance. It's just so easy to throw something in the air fryer to heat it up. I prefer cooking my frozen vegetables that way (see: air fried frozen Brussels sprouts, my FAVORITE way to cook them). If you need some… Continue reading Air Fryer Nashville Hot Chicken
