Thank God Oklahoma had a cold front move through last week. We were busy melting away up until last Thursday. Instead of low 80's during the day and 50-60s at night, which is the typical case for May, Oklahoma was having a heatwave of upper 90's during the day and high 70s at night. It… Continue reading Spring Roll Salad

Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
I meal-prep my husband's lunches for the week. When I asked him what he wanted last week, he said "chicken and noodles". Bewildered, I asked him what that meant. He tried to explain it but I kept thinking chicken noodle soup. But that was NOT what he wanted! Finally, he pulled up a description online… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
Pistachio-Crusted Chicken Salad
There's a divine little restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma called the Lokal. Rob and I first tried it out last year when we met up with some friends to look at their apartments.

Even though the small building was packed, the lines flowed quickly. I had… Continue reading Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
Cookie Butter Cake Bars
Happy 1st Day of Spring! I guess that's a thing now. Oh, yay, the revelry! Let's celebrate by eating fresh green things again! Or...not. I ate cookie butter. By the pint. Not really, but I can put down quite a few spoonfuls of the creamy spice-cookie mix. Instead of licking cookie butter off of the… Continue reading Cookie Butter Cake Bars
Cookie Butter Tiramisu
A few of the Walmarts here in OKC have *finally* started to carry Lotus brand Biscoff spread---also known as cookie butter. I fell in love with the peanut butter replacement a few years ago, before it was wildly popular. It's been hard to find throughout the years but as people's taste for the stuff grew, a… Continue reading Cookie Butter Tiramisu
