Taco Nation

Located in the up and coming Wheeler District is Taco Nation – you can grab some tacos then take a ride on the ferris wheel while you view the OKC skyline! Their hours are a bit funky – so make sure to check before you make plans to head down there, they are also closedContinue reading “Taco Nation”

Asian Braised Short Ribs

These short ribs are so tender and rich. They have a slightly sweet, salty, spicy flavor that isn’t too overwhelming. The meat just falls off the bone when these are done you won’t even believe it! I opt for the InstantPot for these because it cooks so much quicker and still results in such aContinue reading “Asian Braised Short Ribs”

Culture Coffee

I love exploring coffee shops and finding new favorites! Culture Coffee has been around for a short time (comparatively), but they have already made a name for themselves and an impact on OKC. Their flagship location is downtown, kind of hidden off the beaten path if you don’t know where you are going! It isContinue reading “Culture Coffee”

Slow Braised Beef

Fall is here and I love braising and slow cooking meats. I’ve done a variation of this a few times, but they just keep getting better each time, like a fine wine that tastes better with age! As my cooking continues and I develop my skills and learn more flavors and profiles and cooking techniques,Continue reading “Slow Braised Beef”

Chicken Udon

Nothing warms the soul and body during the cooler months like a large bowl of soup. I love soup season, but wanted to mix it up because soup can get boring. I mean I love a good tomato, potato, chicken noodle, etc, but have you ever had a delicious bowl or ramen or udon orContinue reading “Chicken Udon”

Brown Butter Pasta

This pasta dish screams fall and comfort. It is nutty, buttery, and so rich. Browning the butter brings out such a deep flavor with a hint of nuttiness to it – once you start browning butter, you may never go back! I love adding blistered tomatoes with this to add some freshness and lightness toContinue reading “Brown Butter Pasta”

Thai Coconut Chicken

Noodle bowls are one of my favorite things – they are light, filling and so flavorful. This dish is inspired by one of my favorite spots in Seattle that has the best vermicelli bowls around!
