Blueberry Pound Cake

Go to PioneerWoman.com and print out the recipe for Blueberry Pound Cake.  It was the most moist pound cake I have ever had!  It had a dipping sauce to go with it.  Normally, I would never make the sauce to go with a recipe but I was feeling happy and went ahead and made the [...]

D’Novo Lean Gourmet - New Tulsa Treat

My husband and I went to a new restaurant in Tulsa called D’Novo Lean Gourmet.  The whole point of the restaurant is to provide gourmet food without the calories.  Each meal is supposed to be under 500 calories, which isn’t too bad considering some of the smoothies sold at Jamba Juice have over 1,000 calories.
The [...]

Pumpkin Bread

Last year I found the best Pumpkin bread recipe.  It was supposed to taste just like the Pumpkin loaf sold at Starbucks, and it did.  It is wonderful.  I made it last year and again this year.  You can find the recipe here.

I took several pieces to Jazzercise this morning to give away and it [...]

Amaranth

A new food for you to try:  Amaranth.  It is a grain that is extremely high in fiber and protein.  One of my friends eats it every morning for breakfast in class and it always smells so good, so I asked her how to make it.  First off, I had to go to Whole Foods [...]

Apple Salad

While in Branson, MO, this weekend we went to Silver Dollar City.  We had so much fun.  If you haven’t been to Silver Dollar City in a while, you need to go back soon.  They just opened up a Culinary Craft School.  It is amazing but you have to pay $10 extra to book a [...]

Lanna Thai

Every once in a while I get a hankering for Thai food.  Why?  Who knows…considering I am a farm girl from Kansas.  Anyway, when this rare craving gets the best of me, I make my husband take me to Lanna Thai on Memorial and 71st.  It doesn’t look like much on the outside, but the [...]

My Espresso Machine - The Via Venezia

After going through our finances two too many times and finding our “Snack” category in excess of $200/month on Quicken, I set out to do something about it.  Any type of coffee drink, soda type drink, or food snacks are categorized as “Snacks” in our budget.  The majority of our “snacks” were non-fat mochas and [...]

Firehouse Subs - New in Tulsa

I don’t typically write reviews on large franchise eateries, BUT I have to share Firehouse Subs with you. It is my second favorite place to eat in Tulsa. The Tulsa location is at 66th and Memorial Drive in the same building as the new Gold’s Gym. I have heard that the franchise owner of this [...]

Spelt Bread

If you will remember I made spelt bread not very long ago.  Well I found out that Great Harvest sells spelt bread so I went in with my mom this week to try it.  The verdict:  mine is way better.  Mine is probably not as good for you as I use sugar and they don’t, [...]

Spelt Flour

Today I got hungry for some fresh bread - more specifically Great Harvest bread.  If you have not been to Great Harvest Bread Company in Tulsa and you like fresh bread, you are missing out.  They mill their flour every morning and use all whole wheat flour.  Anyway, I had a buy one get one [...]
