It never hurts to be adventurous. When you go to your favorite restaurant, do you stick with your normal order? If you do, I dare you to branch out and order something new the next time you go.

Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
When my parents were down here to help us move into our new home, my mom bought two big bags of catfish nuggets. We had planned to do a fish fry one night, but all of the work we had to do on the house bogged us down so we never got around to it.… Continue reading Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
End of Summer Salad
This is it. Summer's last hoorah. Oklahoma is taking the deep dive with the arctic front coming in from Canada tonight. We're not going to get too cold, but we'll finally feel those fall-like temperatures. That means no more sandwiches, wraps and salads. Instead, all of my summer produce will quickly be replaced by fall… Continue reading End of Summer Salad
Caprese Turkey & Biscuits
It's Monday, you guys. I know some of you are in a daze, not knowing what day it is. It's hard to keep track when you never leave the house.

Mediterranean Orzo Salad

The National Weather Service has put out outlook maps for today and the tornado potential. I love this time of year, but it's always a… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
Ham and Cheese Rollups
Breakfast hasn't really been on my radar lately. I've been just drinking bulletproof coffee and fasting until well after my lunch. When I do get down with the first meal of the day, I experiment. Egg cups, omelettes, and other weird low-carb breakfasts. I'm too scared to eat things like breakfast sandwiches made out of… Continue reading Ham and Cheese Rollups
Maryland Crab & Orzo Stuffed Tomatoes
I've had a torrid love affair with seafood ever since I was a little girl. Unfortunately, living my whole life in a land far away from the sea put a strain on that relationship. It's like a long-distance love affair that has its brilliant, passionate moments...but one that also has its unfulfilled, empty moments as… Continue reading Maryland Crab & Orzo Stuffed Tomatoes
Meatloaf Burgers with Bourbon Bacon Tomato Jam
I did it, y'all. I created the most delicious concoction ever. The best part? It all came from my brain. This entire recipe I made up in one day with only ingredients I had on hand.
