We don't eat a lot of fast food anymore. The older your get, the less appealing drive-through fast food is. I remember being in college and devouring a plate of nachos bell grande at 2 in the morning. If I did that now, it would not end well. The only "fast food" I partake in---albeit in a… Continue reading Copycat Panda Express Mushroom Chicken

Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Let's talk spaghetti. Spaghetti has invaded American kitchens for years. It's cheap to make, feeds a whole family, and fills you up quick. There are a million different ways to make it, and a million different ways to eat it. When we make spaghetti, nine times out of ten we use pre-made, jarred sauce and… Continue reading Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Apple Cake Bars

Even the weather doesn't know what to… Continue reading Apple Cake Bars

We had an eventful morning, waking up suuuuper early to get ready for our Save-The-Date pictures (squee!) and then had an AMAZING brunch at… Continue reading Hungarian Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes
Porcini & Pea Risotto with Chicken Sausage
One of the very first dishes I ever cooked for my family was risotto. A bold choice for such an amateur cook, I know. Risotto isn't typically something that home cooks know how to make, and it's very time-consuming and difficult. But, about 10 years ago, I was challenged with the task of making my… Continue reading Porcini & Pea Risotto with Chicken Sausage
Spicy Primavera with Asparagus, Carrot & Prosciutto
Today, my reporter and I went to Perkins, Oklahoma, for a story about dog dumping. It was a pretty sad situation. Since Perkins is a small town in rural Oklahoma, they have a problem with people dumping unwanted animals out on the country roads. In this case, two dogs (a male and female) were dumped at… Continue reading Spicy Primavera with Asparagus, Carrot & Prosciutto
