It's peak grilling-and-football season, and that means it's peak Jalapeno Popper season. The only downside: Jalapeno poppers can be a pain. All that deseeding, scooping, wrapping in bacon and then grilling (and not burning!) them takes a lot of effort. I've got a solution, though. These Jalapeno Popper Bites give you all the flavors of… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Bites

Loaded Black Bean Dip
When I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with Frito Lay bean dip. I'd get the little cans for lunch and snack on it with a bag of Fritos. My grandma always had a few of the large cans of bean dip stocked in her house. I think she did it because she knew how… Continue reading Loaded Black Bean Dip
Salsa Chicken Salad
Sometimes the best recipes are right in front of you but you never noticed. I feel like that line is from a movie...or maybe not.

It had ingredients I normally… Continue reading Salsa Chicken Salad
Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos
If there's one thing Oklahoma City doesn't lack, it's taco restaurants. There are taco trucks and stands galore. Every day a new one pops up.

The… Continue reading Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
My fall decor is officially up and my pumpkin & apple candles are lit. Too bad it's 94 degrees outside. I'm more ready for fall than I am for anything else right now. I'm ready for the temperatures to dip and the hay rides to begin. Every retail store in the nation has had fall/Halloween… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
Quesadilla Chicken Salad
I've never been one of those people who loved big chain restaurants. Applebee's was the place to go when I was in college (probably for their cheap, potent mixed drinks during Happy Hour) and yet it was a place I would never step foot in. Cheddar's opened when I was in junior high in my… Continue reading Quesadilla Chicken Salad

I had been to New Mexico several different times before then, but I really fell in love with it on that 2019 trip. It's such an enchanting place, with its desert & mountain… Continue reading Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
