It's hard for me nowadays to find something new and exciting on those apps since I've created more than 1,020 recipes for this blog.

Roasted Garlic Feta Dip
"I'm the dip." It's a classic line in the second episode of season 3 of Buffy, my favorite show. The characters are trying to decide what kind of party Buffy's mom is throwing for her return. One of the characters, Cordelia Chase, says "I'm the dip". She brings dip to parties--that's her thing. Opening jars… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Feta Dip
Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
It was just a few years ago that I realized you could eat corn raw. I always thought you had to cook it to make it tasty and tender. Wrong. I now add raw corn, straight off the cob, to salads in the summer. It's really the most refreshing thing when it's a thousand degrees… Continue reading Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
Garlic Parmesan Edamame
I'm not really sure how to eat edamame. I typically use shelled edamame in my cooking. I love stirring it into stir-fries and rice. But whole edamame? It's a mystery to me. I bought a couple of bags of the stuff the other day at the grocery store, intent on figuring out what to do… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Edamame
Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
I work in local television news. I've been in this industry for more than 10 years, and at my current job for almost 8 years. Since I work in news, I've got to keep up with the news. You can ask me anything about state government, local laws, city decisionmakers, or current murders and I'll… Continue reading Mustard Roasted Chicken and Cabbage
Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus
The time has come. After months of 60 degree weather, no snow in sight---we're finally getting a winter storm. It may not seem like much, but after more than a year without snow, I can all but guarantee Oklahoma is NOT prepared for the 4-6 inches we might get tonight. But I'm ready for it.… Continue reading Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus
Cauliflower Antipasto
Raw caulifower and I go way back. Wayyy back. I've always preferred veggie trays that included raw cauliflower. My grandma used to always make a raw cauliflower salad with ranch dressing and green olives (which sounds weird, but tastes INCREDIBLE). I love cauliflower just straight off the head and dipped in ranch---even dipped in nothing… Continue reading Cauliflower Antipasto
Green Bean Salad with Hearts of Palm
I love that my local grocery store has a little fresh olive bar in the produce section. I bought a handful of super green olives yesterday, and they may be the best I've ever had. They've also got roasted garlic cloves, marinated mushrooms (personal fave), and sometimes dolmas. I'm now slightly obsessed with that olive… Continue reading Green Bean Salad with Hearts of Palm
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
Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
While the cruise to Mexico was our main honeymoon foray, we made sure to schedule some time to hang out in New Orleans, too. When our ship docked at 8 a.m. on a Saturday, Rob and I decided to explore the city and stay the night before our long journey home the next day. I… Continue reading Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
