It's 3 whole degrees outside. 3. That's it. The wind is howling from the north at a clip of 40 miles per hour, making it feel more like -20 degrees. That is just too dang cold, if you ask me. One thing you need to survive an Oklahoma arctic blast is blankets. LOTS of blankets.… Continue reading Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone

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.

Instead, all of my summer produce will quickly be replaced by fall… Continue reading End of Summer Salad

We're in for a doozy today. It's severe weather season in Oklahoma, and it definitely feels like. There's a mugginess in the air that's only felt this time of year. 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
