Sausage Fettuccine

August 11, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

Everything is dead or dying in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's summer this year has been far too hot. We had a long spate of 100-degree days and went weeks without rain. Because of that, everything from the grass to the trees is dying. It's been hard to keep my first-year garden alive. I surrendered early to the… Continue reading Sausage Fettuccine

Grilled Chicken Cowboy Caviar

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 ColleenLeave a comment

For some reason, cowboy caviar is trending on TikTok. It's not a new concept. The recipe has been around for ages. I've had it at many cookouts in my lifetime. That's the beauty of TikTok. Old recipes are new again and you'll never know which recipe will go viral. Sometimes it's a classic grinder sandwich,… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Cowboy Caviar

Strawberry Shortcake Ambrosia

There's this dessert recipe my mom has been making for decades that she calls "trash cake". It's a coveted dessert in our family and one that I give out to newbie cooks as much as possible. Trash cake is the single easiest dessert to make for parties and cookouts. All it consists of is torn-up… Continue reading Strawberry Shortcake Ambrosia

Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Salad

July 12, 2022July 12, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

If you have a pasta salad recipe, chances are I've tried it. I'm one of those people who makes pasta salads like a fiend every summer. It's so refreshing to either eat by itself or to serve it with burgers and barbecue. It's my go-to cookout side dish and my ride-or-die lunch at work. Imagine… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Salad

State Fair Watermelon Pie

There's no bigger foodie paradise than the state fair. You can find a slew of delectable options at the fair. From the classics (smoked turkey legs and lemonade) to the bizarre (beef sundaes and deep fried crickets), the fair is truly America's mecca of food. Every state has unique food options, but I think the… Continue reading State Fair Watermelon Pie

Fried Okra Salad

Most of my family moved north to Montana several years ago. It started with my aunt, who works up there. After that, my grandma followed. Then my uncle moved up there. Then my parents moved up there. Montana has its perks, but good food is NOT one of them. Don't ever try to order a… Continue reading Fried Okra Salad

Peach & Blackberry Cobbler

There are a ton of different cobbler recipes out there. You can find cobblers made in a baking dish, a cake pan and a cast iron skillet. Some cobblers call for the crusty/cake mixture to be poured below the fruit, others call for it on top of the fruit. Some people mix in nuts and… Continue reading Peach & Blackberry Cobbler

Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds

After 17+ years in the kitchen, I finally did it. I finally had a knife accident. Thankfully, my slip-up only cost me half a fingernail, otherwise, this story would have been much more graphic. Picture this: I was cutting some roast turkey breast into slices for lunch when the knife I was using just sliced… Continue reading Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds

I've been working in TV news for more than 10 years. It's hard to believe that. I remember my first day at a television station like it was yesterday. I thought everything was so technologically advanced and that I was way out of my league for a choice of a job. Looking back now, I… Continue reading Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

Cowboy Salad

May 29, 2022May 29, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

I was tasked recently with coming up with a salad that was hearty enough to satisfy big appetites. The word "salad" and "hearty" aren't typically used together in the same sentence. Salads are meant to be light and refreshing, not heavy and hearty. Regardless, I needed to make something that appealed more to those last… Continue reading Cowboy Salad
