You ever see a recipe in a video and think, "I can make that, and I can make it better?" Welcome to my world. I scroll aimlessly through TikTok sometimes and see all of these good recipes and think that I can make them better. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. This is one… Continue reading Chicken & Wonton Soup

Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you look through ANY food boards on Pinterest, you'll be inundated with copycat 'bang bang' shrimp recipes. What is that, you ask? Well---I actually don't know. I've never even had bang bang shrimp before from any of the restaurants claiming to serve it. Even though I've never tried it, my mouth still waters everytime… Continue reading Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
20-Minute Moo Shu Chicken Tacos
Moo Shu is something that I've never had before in my life. It's not a staple of American-Chinese restaurants in Oklahoma or Texas. I believe it's mainly an East coast thing; brought over by Chinese immigrants and exploding in popularity in the 1960's. The dish never really made it past the Mississippi River. I've seen… Continue reading 20-Minute Moo Shu Chicken Tacos
Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing
And now, for something different. This may very well be the most out-of-my-element recipe I've ever made. Was it difficult? Not really. Was it something I'd ever make had I not been inspired? Probably not. It would be a completely vegan side dish had I not used sour cream in the avocado cream sauce. You… Continue reading Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing
Chicken Marsala Spaghetti Squash
Everytime we go to an Italian restaurant, I always order the same thing: either chicken picatta or chicken marsala. I guess you could call me a creature of habit. I love those two dishes so much, I rarely stray away from them. I also always get a cannoli for dessert, because let's be honest...cannolis are… Continue reading Chicken Marsala Spaghetti Squash
Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
Is there anything better than a bowl full of food? Or anything better than a bowl? I'm talking a complete meal that fits snugly inside a bowl. A meal rounded out with a protein, some grains, and some delicious veg. Seriously, I need an answer to this question. I'm struggling to find a dinner more… Continue reading Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
Gonzaga Smoked Trout Soba Noodle Bowl
Okay, I know. Smoked trout soba noodles are supposed to represent Gonzaga University? It's a stretch for the imagination, but hear me out. Gonzaga is located in Spokane, Washington. I didn't realize that until this past summer. Since Gonzaga is always so good at basketball, I always just assumed that it was located on the east… Continue reading Gonzaga Smoked Trout Soba Noodle Bowl
Thai Potsticker Soup
With the weather gradually turning cold, all I can think about cooking are soups, stews, and chilis. Anything that is hot and liquidy sounds perfect to me on a windy, cold day in Oklahoma. I can't believe that when I was a kid, I loathed soups and stews. I still, to this day, can't stand… Continue reading Thai Potsticker Soup
