Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
My first experience with Thai food wasn't that long ago. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to Thai cuisine. There was a Thai restaurant in my hometown, but it was vastly different than the Thai food I've had since then. I'm thinking that place just called itself Thai, but was more like a dumbed-down… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
If you could only live off of one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? That's an easy answer for me: tacos.

The chips and salsa will be free… Continue reading Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Woo. It has been one heck of a week. If you haven't been keeping up in the news (both national and local), Oklahoma teachers walked out of the classroom on Monday and have not been back since. Instead, roughly 30,000 of them are congregating at the state capitol, pushing for lawmakers to restore funding to… Continue reading Key Lime Powerbars
