Savory Bread Pudding
The Christmas party circuit has begun. All of the sudden, you turn around, look at your calendar and realize that you have something going on almost every weekend. I would bet there is a lot of food involved, too. Cookie parties, recipe exchanges, progressive dinners, potlucks — you name it, it’s happening somewhere. Last week…
Apple Cider Braised Beef Shanks
I am a bad blogger. I should be fired, but I guess I would have to fire myself and that’s not going to happen, so you are stuck with me. I apologize for my disappearance but I was sequestered for a month and a half in the middle of nowhere Pawhuska, OK helping feed some…

Have you heard of Biscoff Spread? It’s all over the place, everyone it talking about it and all the cool kids are baking with it. You should too. Why? Because it’s awesome and like I said all the cool kids are baking with it. You want to be a cool kid don’t you? I am…
Fall Pumpkin Line Up

Homemade Mozzarella
About a month ago I got to hang out with this lovely lady at PW’s lodge. She taught us how to make cheese and she changed my life forever. Since then I have made the trek several times up to Swan’s Bros. Dairy in Claremore to pick up a gallon of delicious raw milk for…
Labor Day Faux Sangria
The official end of summer is just around the corner. Kids are headed back to school & college students are stocking up on dorm room supplies. I remember when I was a kid growing up on a military base I spent almost everyday of the summer with my friends at the pool at the NCO…
Fried Chicken Wings in Escabeche
Do you ever lay awake starting at the ceiling thinking of chicken, onions, and olives? Well I have. I have tossed and turned in my bed developing a recipe. Thinking about how I am going to plate and style the food. That is when I started to keep a notepad by my bed and one…
