There's no better way to start the day than with a big breakfast. I'm a savory breakfast kind of gal. I always order protein and eggs when I'm at a restaurant.

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
