Do you thoroughly wash your produce when you get home from the grocery store? I know I don't do it as often as I'd like. Anything that says "triple cleaned" on it I usually just throw right into the crisper drawer without a second thought. Is that bad? Probably. Have I ever gotten sick off… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens

Broccoli Apple Salad
One thing I love about the summer months is all the wonderful side dishes. They usually steal the show at any cookout you're at. We've all had burgers and hot dogs before, but have you ever seen a super pink ambrosia? How about elote pasta salad? Maybe tried a broccoli-ramen slaw? I love making different… Continue reading Broccoli Apple Salad
Spring Blondies
If you're in a post-Easter slump, have no fear! Spring is here and the spring treats can continue well past the holiday.I made these "blondies" over the weekend and luckily still have a few leftover. This is a small-batch of blondies, so don't make them if you want to take to a party or a… Continue reading Spring Blondies
Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Every Sunday I meal prep for the week ahead. I make two meals for my husband to take to work for lunch, then a few meals for dinners throughout the week (plus snacks and salads when I decide to make them). I've been experimenting with what my husband will eat for lunch because I want… Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Chile Garlic Shrimp
I've been dying to find new shrimp recipes. I love shrimp. I adore it. Shrimp was my favorite food growing up. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, half the time it was some form of shrimp or seafood. Shrimp was always a fancy, but not too fancy form… Continue reading Chile Garlic Shrimp
Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I just impulse bought a new coffee pot. It's a Keurig cup + 12 cup carafe duo coffee maker. I had to have it and it came at a decent price. You see, we've had our current coffee maker for the last year...maybe 2 years. I got it for $8 at Walmart because it was… Continue reading Orange Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
My husband is a huge fan of peanut butter. He'll eat it on just about anything: graham crackers, chocolate, or simply by the spoonful. That's why I try to make a peanut-butter inspired treat for him every now and then. I've made chocolate peanute butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and even a cake-style Buckeye bar.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
Cranberry Oat Bread
It's a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now! Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20's with overcast skies. This is my favorite type of weather---and favorite time of year. I'm sure we'll thaw out here pretty soon. Snow doesn't ever stick around for long in this… Continue reading Cranberry Oat Bread
Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
