I’m currently sitting on the couch at approximately 2 hours before I would normally wake up. Why you ask? It’s J’s first day of school! Call me a total weirdo but I couldn’t stand the thought of him traipsing off to class on the first day without seeing a friendly face first thing in the […]
My grandfather was a large Southern man from Oklahoma. He was kind, charming and famous for knowing good food. One of his favorite sayings was, “Don’t argue with a fat man about good food.” He had a love for a variety of food and enjoyed introducing me to things I’d never heard of. He also […]
Boy do I have a treat for you today. I’ve been on a protein shake kick all week long and today… today was my masterpiece. It’s the best one I’ve made yet. I’m sitting here on my porch sipping away and I knew I just had to share it with you. I discovered this recipe […]
So here I am, smack dab in the middle of my break. I can honestly say it’s incredibly strange to wake up without an alarm, take naps at any point in the day and spend however long I feel like in the kitchen. It’s wonderful. I feel like today is the first day I can […]

It’s the 4th of July today and I am loving it. Aside from Christmas, the 4th is one of my favorite holidays. I live for BBQ cook-outs, corn on the cob, a cold lake on a hot weather day, fireworks and getting to spend some much needed down time with friends. I hope you’re enjoying […]
I had mentioned that I am going to start posting a recipe a week that I’ve been using that is SUPER quick and hopefully delicious. Tuesday night I made baked sweet and sour chicken that I spotted on Pinterest from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. It was delicious but definitely did not take under a half an […]
We are the generation known for being constantly on the go, are we not? Okay, maybe I shouldn’t speak for all of us… maybe I should just speak for myself. Sometimes I feel like I’m constantly running from one place to the next and never taking a breath. When it comes to refueling, filling up […]
I’ve really been struggling lately when it comes to cooking. I’m either (A) Too tired to cook (B) Unmotivated to try something new (C) Don’t have the time to make something grand or (D) All of the above. Because of my shortcomings and because I know I can’t be the only one out there in […]
