I can't believe I'm actually writing this blog post. The idea behind this recipe has been rattling around in my brain for months and I never acted on it. I finally got to work cooking and testing it when I got back from vacation two weeks ago. Then, I forgot about it again. I got… Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Salad

Cajun Steak Tips
I'm a ribeye gal, through and through. When it comes to steak, I go for the fattiest, juiciest cut. Ribeye is supreme. I've been raised on expertly grilled ribeye steaks. My grandpa would cook them for us on special occasions and he used such tender, nurturing care to get them perfectly cooked. Medium rare ribeyes… Continue reading Cajun Steak Tips
Brown Butter Garlic Mushrooms
I've had this unhealthy obsession with mushrooms ever since I was a little kid. Most people, and most kids, flinch at the sight of cooked fungi, but not me. I've always loved its taste, texture, and earthiness. My grandfather was the greatest steak master around. To this day, I've never had a better steak than… Continue reading Brown Butter Garlic Mushrooms
Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Mushrooms
Although I typically despise Mondays, today could not come soon enough. I actually had a pretty terrible weekend. It all started off well. I was going to go to the grocery store and decided to stop by my kryptonite (Ulta) beforehand. Did that, spent way too much money, then went across the street to get… Continue reading Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Mushrooms
Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
I think I'm diggin this keto diet for the main fact that I can still eat cheese. Cheese is everything good in life. I've invested in a stash of Babybel and a ton of cheddar. I know you're not supposed to eat that much cheese, but I need to have an emergency supply, you know?… Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
Seafood in the middle of the country? Yeah, it's a thing. And it's delicious. Some restaurants around here, like The Drake, get fresh seafood flown in daily. These oysters were just about the most buttery, sea-tasting fresh things you could get in Oklahoma. We went to The Drake for a friend's birthday. I ate my… Continue reading Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
Steakhouse Meatloaf
In honor of putting up our Christmas tree (I love Christmas, so forgive me if you think it's too early for that), I decided to make a stick-to-your-ribs type of homestyle meal for the weekend. We're talking beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, and oven-roasted green beans. I even picked up a box of garlic toast which… Continue reading Steakhouse Meatloaf
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
It has only been one day since Villanova lost, and with it my dreams of being that 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,777,808 to fill out a perfect bracket was lost with them. Thinking that Villanova was going to make it further in the tournament, I had planned to make a Villanova-inspired recipe for Meal Madness this weekend. Well, I'm… Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Ham & Lentil Soup
Soup's on! Even though it is still 80 degrees here in Oklahoma. Seriously, state, get your crap together. It's November. We're three weeks away from Thanksgiving. It's supposed to be FALL...and I still haven't seen the inside of a jacket this season. Geeze. I pulled only about a metric ton of soup, stew and chili… Continue reading Ham & Lentil Soup
