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
Balsamic Roasted Pork and Vegetables
Another long week down in the books. Woooo. Between work, getting our engagement/Save-The-Date pictures done, and finding a wedding venue, this weekend has been a welcome relief. Oh, yeah, here's how those pictures turned out: Love them! We're using a painted pumpkin picture for our Save the Date flyers. I can't wait. After our shoot, we decided to… Continue reading Balsamic Roasted Pork and Vegetables
Roasted Corn Maque Choux
Have you ever scratched yourself so hard you bled? That's currently the situation I'm in right now. Times a hundred. Before you tune out...let me explain. Last Friday, my reporter and I were working on a special story outside of Springer, Oklahoma. This little town is about an hour and a half south of OKC… Continue reading Roasted Corn Maque Choux
