We've been imbibing a bit too much since the pandemic began. I'm not usually one to drink very much, if at all, but lately the White Claw and wine has been calling to me. I guess it's okay since the world is ending or whatever, right? I still keep it to the weekends and I… Continue reading Wine Drunk Pasta

Meatball Marsala
Meatball cravings are real, y'all. So are pizza, sugar, and taco cravings. Thankfully, I can eat all the meatballs I want on keto---so long as I nix the breadcrumbs. The best binding-ingredients to toss in keto meatballs is either almond flour or crushed pork rinds. I typically do almond flour if the meatballs are made… Continue reading Meatball Marsala
Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing
I'm living for weird and different salads this summer. Another thing I'm living for? Making my own salad dressings. So, I may have flubbed it a bit on the homemade caesar dressing, but lessons learned. Now, I'm a salad dressing making machine. Just call me the Dressing Wizard. My preferred dressing of choice is a… Continue reading Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing
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

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
White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream Sauce
Do you ever get the sudden urge to buy something spontaneously at the grocery store? You know...you've spent an hour mapping out your grocery list, but one thing just catches your eye and begs you to buy it? That happens to me all the time on my bi-weekly grocery trip. I try to stick to… Continue reading White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream Sauce
Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
It was a wild night in Oklahoma last night... Severe weather season has officially begun! Storms rollicked across the state, packing a major punch. No tornadoes in OKC, but really high winds caused a ton of damage, especially to State Fair Park. The Centennial Arch, built in the 1970's, didn't survive. There was supposed to be a… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Spring Pasta
Maryland Crab & Orzo Stuffed Tomatoes
I've had a torrid love affair with seafood ever since I was a little girl. Unfortunately, living my whole life in a land far away from the sea put a strain on that relationship. It's like a long-distance love affair that has its brilliant, passionate moments...but one that also has its unfulfilled, empty moments as… Continue reading Maryland Crab & Orzo Stuffed Tomatoes
