I haven't been using pork much lately and I don't know why. I love pork. It's ranked right up there with chicken in terms of meat entrees. I'll choose a pork chop or pork roast over a burger or meatloaf anyday. I spotted a massive pack of pork chops (6 pounds!!!) at Costco the other… Continue reading Roasted Pork Bites with Red Pepper Sauce

Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
It's a beautiful morning and I'm officially on vacation for the next 7 days! I've got to start packing after I blog. I haven't done a lick of packing! My husband and I are leaving as soon as he gets off work, so I'm under quite the time crunch. I wanted to at least leave… Continue reading Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
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
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I discovered the strangest thing in my spaghetti squash this weekend. The seeds had sprouted inside of the squash! I had never seen anything like that. How could they sprout with any sunlight? They were locked in tight inside that spaghetti squash flesh! I planted a few outside my laundry room door to see if… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
We're getting closer and closer to that time of year where you can't use the oven any longer. It's already forecast to be close to 90 degrees tomorrow. I can feel the warm, Southerly wind on my face right now as I blog from porch. The heat is coming, and it's sure to be a… Continue reading Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
The world maybe changing, but my life still goes on in this little corner of the internet. I've got a stocked up kitchen right now and plenty of food to get Rob & I through 2 weeks if need be. We don't have the luxury of working from home. Right now is an essential time… Continue reading Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
For Christmas, my dad bought me this countertop hydroponic garden that can grow herbs and small vegetables. Knowing me, I thought nothing would grow. I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
Bacon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
I've spent the entire day cooking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner has been meal-prepped for the week. I even made time to make a snack for the week ahead: some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for a load of dishes to dry so I can do two more… Continue reading Bacon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
For Christmas, my dad got me this countertop, hydroponic herb garden. Three months later, I'm overrun with mint and dill. I've been tailoring my recipes over the last two weeks to use up the excess. I'm convinced dill can grow to be as tall as me (and that's 6 foot tall!). It just will not… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
