The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday. It was everything you could imagine: sparkly lights, loud noises, sweat-dripping-down-your-back fun. We stayed out there for several hours soaking in… Continue reading Italian Marinated Mushrooms

Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
One of my favorite things to get at the grocery store is catfish nuggets. It's simply chopped up catfish filets, but it's half the cost of an actual filet.

My profound love for cheese probably comes from my mom, or my grandma. My mom would always have special cheeses out for holiday… Continue reading Spicy Pimiento Cheese

I even BURNED the bottom of the first batch and am still devouring the blackened crispiness in record numbers. They're that good. Low carb potstickers were a no-brainer for me. It's easy to just… Continue reading Spicy Turkey Potstickers
