The original name for this recipe was “Easy Bistro Chicken”. Whoever named it was either a super gourmet chef, or a big, fat, liar. This recipe was by no stretch of the imagination “easy”. I started in the kitchen around 4:30 and we sat down dinner a little after 7. But if you actually enjoy…

Sage-Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw
This one is for everyone who says I only cook chicken! I promise we don’t only eat chicken. It just happens to be that when we have steak or fish (that rare occurrence, here in Oklahoma), it’s seasoned and grilled and doesn’t require much of a recipe. But what about the other white meat? Well,…
Chicken Tamale Casserole
I made this recipe early last week, but am only just now finding the time to post it! It was one heck of a whirlwind week. Why? Tops in Blue! Tops in Blue is a group of amazingly talented Air Force members that travels around the world singing, dancing and putting on awesome shows! Vance…

Except, I had to use regular rice instead of the traditional Arborio, since I couldn’t find it here in Enid….

Easy Grasshopper Bars
Last week I shared with you my new favorite website, Pinterest. It’s becoming a problem for 2 reasons: Way too many cute home decor items, and I want to buy them ALL. Way too many delicious sweets, and I want to make (and eat) them ALL! Mint chocolate has always been one of my favorite…
Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
When Nick and I were at his Dad’s house in Missouri over the 4th of July, Kelly made us some Quinoa Breakfast Cookies. Being the lover of quinoa that I am, I was instantly intrigued. Well, it turns out they aren’t made with whole quinoa, but quinoa flour! They were also awesome, and I knew…
