After more than a week of not leaving the house, the walls start to feel like they're closing in on you. Don't get me wrong, I love social distancing. Our apartment is cozy and we've got everything we need right here. I'm a homebody and someone who secretly rejoices when plans get canceled. However, I… Continue reading Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal

Sausage & Apple Hash
The fall and winter vibes are hitting hard in my house. I feel like I'm constantly chopping apples, sipping pumpkin spice coffee, or washing my hands with peppermint-scented soap. I love this time of year. It's both Christmasy and Fall-y and beautiful and cool. I wish every month of the year could be like this.… Continue reading Sausage & Apple Hash
Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Snacks play a really important part in my life. I can't go more than a few hours without a pick-me-up, and having homemade snacks at the drop of a hat is a must. I usually take a snack break around 3 in the morning (remember, I work nights!) and that's after eating my "breakfast" at… Continue reading Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
I've been digging on cauliflower since it became cool to eat it. I'm talking 20+ years ago, y'all. When I was a kid, my favorite veggie in a vegetable tray was the raw cauliflower (dunked in oodles of ranch, of course). My family has been using it as a side dish for years. One of… Continue reading Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
German Sheet Pan Dinner
I'm on day 2 of this whole Keto diet thing and it's going well...so far. I may or may not have day-dreamt about a peppermint ice cream shake from Braum's the whole way home. I've been chugging water like it's my life blood. I've already blown through more than a gallon of water today. Multiple… Continue reading German Sheet Pan Dinner
Key Lime Powerbars
Woo. It has been one heck of a week. If you haven't been keeping up in the news (both national and local), Oklahoma teachers walked out of the classroom on Monday and have not been back since. Instead, roughly 30,000 of them are congregating at the state capitol, pushing for lawmakers to restore funding to… Continue reading Key Lime Powerbars
Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Let's talk about fruit baskets. Mine is getting a little out of control. What should be housing bananas and oranges inside it's wirey bowl, is loaded with avocados, whole wheat pitas, and tortillas. Two of those things are not like the other! My fruit basket has gotten so out of hand, I forgot I had… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Breakfast Skillet Scramble
Rob & I had the most excellent day trip to Guthrie, Oklahoma over the weekend. I told you about the incredible cookbooks I bought at a few antique stores, now I'll let you in on what else or little escapade had in store. We were originally in town to see the Aaron Sorkin play, "A… Continue reading Breakfast Skillet Scramble
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
California Cobb Salad
We had to dog sit this past week for our coworker. It's been over three years since I've owned an animal, and after dog-sitting, I feel compelled to have a dog now! Blizzard was the best, company-wise. She was super good, knew tricks, very laid back and wonderfully soft. I know most dogs aren't this… Continue reading California Cobb Salad
