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
Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Has there ever been a greater glow-up than cauliflower over the last 5 years? Talk about a transformation. From broccoli's pale brother to star of most meals: cauliflower is the true Ugly Duckling in society today. I can't go one meal without incorporating it somehow. Riced cauliflower has been a huge part of my diet… Continue reading Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
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
Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
That's a lot of alliteration right there in the title. Shrimp. Scampi. Spaghetti. Squash. I swear it was unintentional. It just happened. I just had a spaghetti squash ready to go the other day and shrimp scampi sounded like the perfect meal to make with it. I love that buttery, garlicky dish. It's so rich… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
