It’s starting to get hot outside, the days are growing longer & all sorts of green things are leafing out in my gardens. All three of those facts combine to form the perfect opportunity to grill 10 herb marinated chicken. Are you wondering if I really used ten different herbs? Continue reading
It’s that time of year — the bitter biting air has been exchanged for cool breezes, trees are budding, green grass is peeking through the winter browns, birds seem to be chirping a happier tune: and that means it is camping season! Continue reading

I promised a series of lighter recipes all intended to help in the efforts of getting back into all of the clothes hanging in my closet. Then I had the idea to teach myself how to make bread. Continue reading
It’s been a little while since I shared an “Okie Girl’s Take” recipe, so I thought it was time to share something REALLY good. This version of orange chicken is super easy, full of flavor and sure to be a crowd pleaser.
