Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad

Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Here we are again. My favorite day of the week. I've already slurped down 3 cups of coffee and unloaded my clothes dryer to make room for another load. The kitchen is sparkling clean and ready for a long day of meal prepping. I'm currently trying to decide what to make for breakfast before I… Continue reading Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Shrimp & Scallop Divan
Seafood is an extravagant purchase where I come from. We're only about 1,000 miles away from the closest coast and good, cheap seafood is really hard to come by.

Pesto Shrimp & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
Since our epic snow storm busted over the course of 24 hours, I found myself with nothing to do this weekend. I cleaned. I played around with some makeup. I made chex mix. I entertained the cats.

Blackened Shrimp with Smoked Gouda Cauliflower Grits
When it rains here, it pours. I'm talking literal, drenchworthy rain. The last few times we've had rain in OKC, it has dumped gallons upon gallons on the city. Were talking roads flooding, power lines snapping, and dozens of wrecks on the roads. The last time it rained, it looked like a Cat 5 hurricane… Continue reading Blackened Shrimp with Smoked Gouda Cauliflower Grits
Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
Shrimp Fajita Pasta
My pursuit of a good pasta substitute continues today. I've tried just about everything: zoodles, spaghetti squash---but this is the first time I've tried pasta made out of something other than sticky, glutenous carbs. While perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's last week, I found a red lentil pasta. Intriguing. I've had whole wheat pasta… Continue reading Shrimp Fajita Pasta
