Saturday at the farmers market I pick up a few pints of raspberries. OB was all like, “What are you getting those for?” I was like, “To make something with…..duh!” He’s like, “They are just going to go bad like they always do, that’s too many raspberries for just the two of us.” I was…

Lamp Makeover
Just over a month ago we moved into a new house. We found it off some ambiguous ad on craigslist. All it said was 3 br/2 1/2 bath and the address. At first OB and I weren’t even going to bother looking at it, but it was a Sunday afternoon and we were out and…
Sopón de Patitas de Cerdo con Garbanzos (Trotters & Garbanzo Stew)
Growing up as a military brat I lived in many different places, but my mother always did her best to keep the food authentic in our home. No matter where we lived when you walk through the doors of our house you spoke Spanish and it was likely that rice and beans were going…
Creamed Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushroom with Poached Egg
What have I been up to? The question is more like, what haven’t I been up too? I was packing away internship hours like a crazy lady. I graduated from culinary school. (Graduate gowns are not flattering.) We had a possible move back to the east coast. We decided to stay put. We had another…
Crispy Honey Soy Glazed Salmon & Asian Noodles

Winter Vegetable Gnocchi
Winter is coming to a close….actually winter never really arrived here in Oklahoma. It has been a shockingly mild winter, with little rain and very little snow. I am hoping we don’t get dumped on with 2 feet of snow in the middle of March. However if it does I am ready with a yummy…
Roasted Grape Demi-Glace Pork Tenderloin
I’m back! These last two months have been consumed with trying to finish up the last bit of my coursework and cramming as many internship hours as humanly possible. Which has culminated into total exhaustion and a lot of takeout food. Finally I can see my regularly scheduled life on the horizon and I promise that will…
Fried Peach with Ice Cream & Honey Chipotle Sauce
Queue music I did a bad bad thing…..I did a bad bad thing…. The state fair is around the corner so I deep fried a peach, topped it with ice cream and drizzled it with honey chipotle sauce. I did a bad bad thing. I got this idea one day when I tried a cornbread…
Watermelon, Arugula and Feta Quinoa Salad
On Friday PW did a FAQ about the filming of the FN show. She also mentioned that I catered the crew lunch and dinner. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time on set since I was busy preparing lunch and dinner for 20 people but I thought I would share with you a few…
Green Chile & Goat Cheese Southwest Burger
After eating takeout for approximately 2 weeks straight I finally got my kitchen unpacked and together. It took forever to get my kitchen in an order that I was happy with and flowed well. It was an adjustment moving into a smaller kitchen but in the end I am super happy how it turned out. In fact…
