Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
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

Tuesdays are easily the worst days of the week. I feel bad for Mondays, really. They get all the flack for being the beginning… Continue reading General Tso’s Shrimp Bowls

I… Continue reading Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
