I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner

Mustard Greens with Smoked Turkey
Goodness, I love a little garden. I started a small vegetable garden last year that ended with mixed results. For instance, all six of my zucchini plants succumbed to squash bugs last year. I just couldn't keep up with those absolutely vile creatures. But, all of my chard plants produced a bunch of foliage throughout… Continue reading Mustard Greens with Smoked Turkey
Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake
I'll be the first to admit that I am NOT the world's best baker. You can credit my lack of patience for that. Baking is a very finicky science. It depends on precise measurements, temperatures and more. My cooking style is more fluid, more "pinch of this, pinch of that" and more open to interpretation.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake
Honey Almond Cranberry Cereal Granola
I've had a food blog for 10 years. I've been cooking for a lot longer than that. But even then, a recipe I make can still end in disaster. This was really close to being a disaster. I should've known it wasn't going to set up as the recipe described, but I avoided my gut… Continue reading Honey Almond Cranberry Cereal Granola
Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Lazy Sundays are the best. Lounging around, listening to good music, binging your favorite TV show and taking an extra long bath really can't be beat. I do most of my cooking on Sunday mornings (I'm a meal prepper) but Sunday afternoons are generally left to relax and rejuvenate before the work week. I've already… Continue reading Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Oklahoma City is home to a vast restaurant landscape. There are cuisines of every variety, and great restaurants that make them. I've found favorite Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Bolivian, Thai, and Vietnamese restaurants. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city was a Korean restaurant. But why, oh why, is it so hard to find… Continue reading Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Pork tenderloin is a great cut of meat for those on a budget. It's extremely cheap for the amount of meat you get. I can buy a big two-pack, weighing about 4 lbs. total, for $14 at Costco. Tenderloin is also a very versatile protein. You can use it like you would pork chops, and… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Pepperoncini and other pickled peppers are having a moment right now. Maybe it's because of the viral "grinder" sandwich recipe you may have seen on TikTok. Or maybe it's because they deserve to be in the spotlight. Pickled peppers are freaking delicious. I've been buying pickled pepperoncini, cherry and jalapeno peppers in bulk for a… Continue reading Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Cobbler
Sometimes it's tough coming up with different breakfast recipes. There's only so much you can do with bacon, hashbrowns, eggs, toast and blueberries. That's why you need to rework similar recipes and give them a whole new persona. This recipe is extremely similar to my biscuit and gravy casserole. There are a few marked differences,… Continue reading Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Cobbler
Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
One of the first restaurants I ate at after moving to Oklahoma City in 2012 was Texadelphia. There was once a few different locations of Texadelphia in OKC, but now there is only one left in Bricktown. That's the one I went to when I first moved here. Texadelphia is a Philly cheesesteak place with… Continue reading Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
