Happy weekend! Sorry I’ve been MIA a couple days. I’ve finally entered back into the real world. Back to work, vacation’s over. I got a job with the Air Force, in the marketing department! Awesome, because it means I can walk to work in 5 minutes. Though I won’t lie, I drove yesterday. But it…

Farm Fresh Eggs and Sweet Potato Hash
From May to September, Enid has a Farmer’s Market that’s open on Saturdays. This past weekend, we decided to check it out. I’m used to the Farmer’s Markets of Florida, full of freshly picked oranges and grapefruits, and a plethora of other local produce. That’s sort of what I was expecting in Enid, but I…
Ginger Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Two things happened yesterday. First, Nick’s Aunt Diane emailed me, telling me she was making oatmeal raisin cookies (using whole wheat flour, under my influence, woo!). This had me thinking about oatmeal cookies all day long. Then, as I was updating my Recipes Page (you’re welcome), I noticed how few dessert recipes I have on…
Cilantro Garlic Ribs
Everywhere I go, I’m always on the lookout for interesting recipes. Nick and I spent last weekend on vacation at the beach, in a little cottage with a bunch of his family. While there, I happened to pick up his cousin’s Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Though I’ve never subscribed myself, I’ve visited my fair…

Odds and Ends Pizza
On our way home from California this week, I bought an Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine at the airport. I rarely buy single magazines since it kills me that they cost $4 when a full year’s subscription is only $12, but after 6 flights in 10 days, I had exhausted all other forms of…
Sweet & Spicy Margaritas
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Not only is today a Mexican holiday, it’s also Kaiser’s birthday! He turns 2 today (14 in dog years?). Happy Birthday, Kaiser! One thing that’s pretty necessary on Cinco de Mayo? Margaritas, of course! One of the best margaritas I’ve ever had was a habanero margarita from SushiTeq in Boston. It’s…
Greek Quinoa Salad
This Greek Quinoa Salad is packed with all your favorite mediterranean flavors– olives, feta, tomatoes and more, then tossed in a delicious homemade Greek dressing. On vacation in Boston and California, I had the opportunity to go to Whole Foods not one, but THREE times! This was very exciting. Not so exciting? Small suitcases and…
