Chicken + Veggie Stir Fry Noodles

Lo Mein but make it 100 times better without all the oily residue that makes your stomach hurt! This stir fry is lightened up a bit with the fresh vegetables and a lighter sauce and minimal oil. You’ll ditch your regular take out order once you try this and the other great thing is howContinue reading “Chicken + Veggie Stir Fry Noodles”

The Grange

The Grange may be located inside a hotel in downtown Nashville, but that should not stop you from trying it! Their breakfast and brunch menus are ridiculously delicious and you should go with a group so you can try more of the dishes. I stopped in for breakfast on my last day in Nashville andContinue reading “The Grange”

Peanut Noodles with Chicken

I love thai food and noodle dishes and this is my take on a twist between a pad thai and peanut noodles that is more delicious than I ever thought possible. The peanut sauce gives the dish a creamy, nutty flavor but it still has some acid with the lime that cuts through the heavinessContinue reading “Peanut Noodles with Chicken”

GoChuJang Beef and Broccoli

A little spin on a take-out classic. This beef and broccoli is anything but boring and will have your tastebuds singing. I love a good beef and broccoli dish but it’s always heavy and a bit ~drab~ so I wanted to elevate it and give it a modern spin. In my version, I roast theContinue reading “GoChuJang Beef and Broccoli”

Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs

I used to not be a big fan of chicken thighs because of the dark meat and higher fat percentage. I don’t consider myself a picky eater by any stretch of the imagination, but there are a few things I just don’t like. However, as I have matured in the recent months, chicken thighs areContinue reading “Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs”

Prince’s Hot Chicken

Despite what social media might say, Prince’s Hot Chicken is actually the original Hot Chicken spot! They are much less well known than Hattie B’s, but they are the true champion of chicken. The menu remains simple, but their quality and standards are high and they pride themselves on having a lasting creation over theContinue reading “Prince’s Hot Chicken”

Miso Glazed Salmon Rice Bowls

I love a good rice bowl – it is easy, flavorful, and there are so many options! This miso salmon one just might take the cake – except I forgot to add my pickled carrots I made the day before (rookie move). The miso adds a wonderful, creamy, rich flavor to any dish, but pairsContinue reading “Miso Glazed Salmon Rice Bowls”

Tawbi

More and more local coffee shops are popping up around OKC and I love exploring them all! Tawbi is one of the newest shops to open in OKC and not only do they serve coffee, but they also roast their own beans! All of their different roasts feature Oklahoma wildlife on the bags, which isContinue reading “Tawbi”

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. The acid in the orange and lime juices keep the chicken so tender and juicy when it is finished cooking and give it such a vibrant flavor!Continue reading “Mojo Chicken Thighs”

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”
