I've been perusing my enormouse collection of old cookbooks lately hoping something will inspire me. After scrolling through Pinterest for so long, all of the recipes start to look the same. My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad

Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
The television stations in Oklahoma City are on the northeastern outskirts of town. They're situated in the city limits, but in a very rural portion of the city. It's also a strange part of town in terms of geography. Across the street from my station is a herd of cows. Drive 2 minutes down the… Continue reading Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
Shrimp & Scallop Divan
Seafood is an extravagant purchase where I come from. We're only about 1,000 miles away from the closest coast and good, cheap seafood is really hard to come by. My main seafood purchases are shrimp and catfish, and I do that sparingly. I'm talking a once-a-month meal. So imagine my surprise when my local grocer… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Divan
Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls with Ranch Elotes
Rob and I had an adventure yesterday. We went to Guthrie, Oklahoma to see my friend in a play (A Few Good Men) and decided to make a whole day of it. The play didn't start until 8 o'clock at night, so we went down early in the afternoon to walk downtown and go to… Continue reading Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls with Ranch Elotes
Barley & Chicken Casserole
Have you tried the new extra toasty Cheez-Its? They're life changing. Incredible. A gift from the Gods. I've always been that weirdo that like slightly-less-than-ideal crisps. I like the brown (or green) potato chips. I eat the burnt cheese crusted onto pans when making oven nachos. I'm a sucker for broken cookies. These browned cheesy… Continue reading Barley & Chicken Casserole
Polynesian Turkey & Noodles
When was the last time you saw a green bell pepper ring? Or the last time you cut a bell pepper into a ring? Probably a long while would be my guess. Cutting bell peppers into rings has kind of fallen out of favor among most home cooks now, but it used to be all… Continue reading Polynesian Turkey & Noodles
Texas Candy Cornbread
I have successfully finished my Christmas shopping. It only took two days this year, and I've surprisingly finished a lot sooner than I normally do (I've been known to start Christmas shopping on December 23rd). All of the presents are wrapped neatly under our tree, so now we can relax....sorta. While out and about yesterday, I… Continue reading Texas Candy Cornbread
