I’ve been eyeing the taco stand that sits near my workplace on the corner of 41st and Garnett for quite some time now, eyeing it with wonder and apprehension at the same time, because unlike some bigger US cities, food stands have not been too prevalent around Tulsa. Until recently. These days there are taco [...]
Saturday in Tulsa this past weekend was gorgeous – the epitome of spring time weather with temps in the upper 70′s, mild and sunny skies – the perfect weather for outdoor rooftop dining! Eric and I had never been to El Guapo’s so this was a fun experience. We headed there in the early afternoon [...]
After being snowed in for a couple days Eric and I were getting a severe case of cabin fever. While watching Christmas movies and lounging around we did our fair share of cooking and baking. Our Holiday menu included: shrimp scampi, mussels provencal, goat cheese & gruyere mac n’ cheese and gooey cinnamon rolls. Once [...]
