Have you ever heard of a dewberry? If you aren’t from Texas, Mississippi or some other super Southern state, you probably haven’t. Until a couple months ago, I hadn’t either. One day, while out on a run, Nick spotted a thorny plant reminiscent of a blackberry bush, with tiny red berries on it. How he…
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
Nick’s birthday was a few days ago, so… Happy Belated Birthday, Nick! Sadly, Nick spent most of the day traveling home from training in California, flying from Fresno to Salt Lake to Atlanta to Meridian. No fun. Not to mention that due to the time zone change he lost a whole 2 hours of his…
Caramel Apple Slices
I love having reasons to make fun treats. Halloween parties have definitely been fulfilling that role recently! Candy apples have always been one of my favorite fall treats. Though they’re not necessarily a Halloween food, I thought they fit the bill for this time of year, so I decided to make some for one of…
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,…
Pineapple Quinoa

I love getting recipe suggestions! Like this one, for Pineapple Quinoa! This recipe came from my friend Jen. It’s hard to explain how I know Jen. I didn’t grow…
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…
Cobbler for two…
Or, what to do when you buy a boatload of stone fruits, bring them home, and realize “Oh, I live in Oklahoma, and produce STINKS.” Yup, true story. We bought big bags of apricots, pluots and nectarines this weekend. It’s summer, the fruits were plentiful at Wally World, and felt ripe. They’ve gotta be good,…
Waldorf Quinoa Salad
When we were in Missouri over the 4th of July weekend, Kelly made us lots and lots of good food. Since she reads the blog and knows about my recent quinoa obsession, she was awesome enough to make one particular dish she knew I’d like: Waldorf Quinoa Salad. Of course I loved it! Besides my…
