Yokozuna

Yokozuna is an asian fusion restaurant in OKC with locations in Tulsa as well! We stopped in on a Sunday evening around 6pm for a quick dinner, but my first impressions were not good. The restaurant was not super busy and there were plenty of workers, but it took over 5 minutes for someone toContinue reading “Yokozuna”

Bethlehem

Bethlehem, the restaurant not the place, is a little restaurant in a strip mall. It is a bit hidden and off the beaten path, but luckily for me it is around the corner from where I live! I am always looking for delicious mediterranean food! I love it since it is light and flavorful andContinue reading “Bethlehem”

Organic Squeeze

Organic Squeeze opened their first shop in Nichols Hills plaza a number of years ago. It used to be my favorite place to grab a smoothie, even if the price tag was pretty hefty – especially for Oklahoma. I understand that the ingredients are all organic and that comes with a steeper price tag. IContinue reading “Organic Squeeze”

Roasted Poblano Pasta

Pasta sauce, but make it vegetables! I had this idea for roasted poblano pasta a few months back but it was WAY too hot for me to test it then, but now that it is fall it is the absolute perfect time. I love poblanos because they have a wonderful flavor without being spicy. RoastingContinue reading “Roasted Poblano Pasta”

Big Truck Tacos

Big Truck has been around for a long time so if you haven’t been, you are missing out and maybe you live under a rock…or maybe you just don’t like tacos or delicious food. Obviously, the taco scene in OKC is pretty competitive, with more and more taco spots popping up around the city. IContinue reading “Big Truck Tacos”

Low Battery Coffee

I stumbled upon Low Battery Coffee when I was trying to find a local coffee shop for a caffeine fix. Living in Edmond, there are not as many of my favorite coffee shops around but I am trying to branch out, especially when I don’t want to go all the way into Downtown OKC. LowContinue reading “Low Battery Coffee”

Spicy Coconut Soup with Turkey Meatballs

Soup season is in full swing and I am out here trying to create something delicious that isn’t your typical fall soups. This recipe, as many of mine are – come out of nowhere and are often just a rush for me to think of something to put on the table for dinner. My bestContinue reading “Spicy Coconut Soup with Turkey Meatballs”

They have got you covered for your breakfast or lunch needs depending on your mood. For certain items on their menu they even offer a flightContinue reading “Hatch”

Teriyaki Chicken Udon

An easy stir fry that will have you licking the bowl and ditching the takeout! I opt for carrots, broccoli and mushrooms for my vegetables of choice, but you could easily swap these for some of your favorites – red bell peppers and snap peas would be great additions! The chicken marinade also doubles asContinue reading “Teriyaki Chicken Udon”

Osteria

Osteria has been on the list for a while, their dishes they post always look mouthwatering and I have heard a lot of positive reviews on this spot. Plus, it is Italian so you can’t really go wrong with pasta, right? We grabbed a last minute reservation on a Friday evening and set out forContinue reading “Osteria”
