There's an overabundance of fruit in my kitchen right now. I'm obsessed with eating fresh fruit in the summer. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon or grabbing a handful of fresh strawberries. I'm particularly fond of fresh mango and peaches. Unfortunately, peaches come at… Continue reading Peach Pie Fruit Salad

Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Basil is an odd herb. Sometimes I really enjoy its flavor. Other times I'm turned off by the "skunkiness" of it. I enjoy it chopped fresh on top of tomatoes and mozzarella. I don't like it stirred in with my spaghetti sauce (what??). I'm what you might call a basil-loving enigma. Fresh chopped basil in… Continue reading Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Spring cleaning has been going on in my house for the last several weeks. We've got family and friends visiting for the next couple of weeks, so I've been trying to tidy up where I can. I've completely reorganized the kitchen cabinets, given the windows a double-clean, and am in the midst of reorganizing the… Continue reading Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments. The restaurant came highly rated from all of our friends who live in the Yukon/West OKC area, and one thing they recommended was… Continue reading Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
I know I'm on an overnight oat spree right now. I get it. It's almost a ritual at this point. When I meal prep on Sundays, I make a batch of overnight oats for my husband. I did eat some of the apple pie overnight oats, but the last two batches I've made have been… Continue reading Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Sunflower Fruit Salad
This time of year is the best for fruit. Pears, apples, citrus---they're all exceptionally sweet around this time every year. My grocery store even starts to carry the more exotic fruits like dragonfruit, star fruit, persimmon, and papaya. Pomegranate is fills the shelves. Fresh cut fruit trays are abundant.' It's the perfect time to make… Continue reading Sunflower Fruit Salad
Strawberry, Chicken & Basil Salad
There's a flavor combination unlike any other. One that sparks tang, sweetness and saltiness on your tastebuds. The Italians cracked the code on the ultimate combo: Caprese. Juicy tomatoes, sour balsamic vinegar, and sweet-and-earthy basil. Those three ingredients alone can invoke a carnival of happiness in your mouth. I've been in love with Caprese salad… Continue reading Strawberry, Chicken & Basil Salad
Strawberries Newport
There's a nip in the air, but the sun's warmth makes it better. A light beat pulsates in the distance. The smell of deep-fried foods wafts through the streets. Vibrant colors of oil pants can be seen in the distance. It's a spring rite of passage for Oklahoma City. The everlasting, annual event that marks… Continue reading Strawberries Newport
