Mojo Chicken Thighs

Citrusy, tender chicken thighs – this is all I need in life! These cuban inspired chicken thighs are a delicious dish to switch things up in the kitchen.

Desano Pizza

Pizza is a true delight and if done right, should honestly be considered one of the 7 wonders of the world. There is nothing more delicious than a wood-fired pizza with a charred, chewy crust topped with fresh tomatoes and creamy mozzarella. To test a restaurant’s pizza quality, I always grab the Margherita. While thisContinue reading “Desano Pizza”

Sesame Chicken Stir Fry

I love a good stir fry – it is a great way to get in vegetables and use what might be going bad in the fridge. It can also be customizable based on your preferences or what you have at home. I love to add onions, bell peppers, and broccoli to get a variety ofContinue reading “Sesame Chicken Stir Fry”

InstantPot Bulgogi

Nothing says comfort like a warm bulgogi bowl! The steak is so tender with a salty, sweet flavor that is unforgettable. I love topping my bowl with pickled carrots for a wonderful crunch and a tang. I also always pair it with a soft boiled egg because that runny yolk is just too perfect forContinue reading “InstantPot Bulgogi”

The Sushi Bar

The Sushi Bar is probably the fanciest sushi spot in OKC/Edmond, but it holds up to the reputation. Every time I have been here, it is always so crowded and the take out section is no different. They do some high volume and it is easy to understand why people keep going back once youContinue reading “The Sushi Bar”

Barista Parlor

While exploring Nashville, I stumbled upon a coffee shop so of course I had to go check it out! They have a few locations across the city, but I went to the Gulch location which is located inside a hotel – but you couldn’t tell it was a hotel if I am being honest! TheContinue reading “Barista Parlor”
