I’m very blessed that cancer does not run in my family. One of my cousins lost her battle with breast cancer about 20 years ago, but fortunately that is it. Last year I had a mammogram scare when they saw “something”, and had to go for a follow-up. Of course I went into panic mode, …
It’s no secret, especially when you look at my blog, that I’m not the healthiest eater. It’s hard to have self-control at a restaurant, especially if whoever I’m with is eating something really good. And it’s become so easy to say “its for food blog research”. When I cook at home, on the other hand, …
Every August my life is nuts, getting ready for football season. The week before the first home game, I don’t go anywhere other than my house and the office. There’s just so much going on and so many last-minute things to finish that escaping town is almost impossible. However, this year I had to go to OKC …
Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar serves up locally sourced food, freshly juiced drinks, and their own garden in the heart of Oklahoma City Every August my parents come to visit for a couple of weeks. Of course it’s the hottest time of the year, and I’m crazy busy getting ready for football season. But it’s …
For authentic Mexican food in Oklahoma City, check out La Oaxaquena. You may need a translator as well, since the menus are in Spanish! In January I began doing in-person stewardship visits with our club seat holders. Our major gifts staff does a great job of stewardship with our top 150 donors; but because they are a small …
The Pump is a bar with a food menu. A great bar with an outdoor patio and games! Perfect for a Sunday Funday. Make sure you try out the delicious food as well. I discovered the Uptown 23rd Farmer’s Market about a month ago when I saw a post about it pop up on Facebook. I love …
I’ve talked before about my love for farmer’s markets. I love the idea of buying from local farmers and producers, rather than big chains and corporations. There was one in Baltimore I went to quite often when I lived there. It was a hike from my house in College Park, but to me it was …
The delicious food at Hefner Grill in OKC is topped only by the gorgeous views of Lake Hefner. You’ll keep going back for more. One of the biggest perks of my job is meeting so many wonderful people. The challenge, however, is that I only see most donors on gameday, so I don’t get to know …
Last week I had a lunch appointment with a club seat holder couple. They recommended Tucker’s Onion Burgers. Normally if the suggestion is a place I’ve been before I’ll ask for something different. But my last trip to Tucker’s was the new location on Classen Blvd; this one was at the original location. How can …
I got off-track and behind on my posts. I actually wrote up a couple of posts on the plane heading to Vegas last weekend. But between having to do 4 Vegas posts (including the drama of the deleted Viva Las Vegas post), plus The Week That Was that ended up being a day late, plus …
Last Saturday I went to a wedding in Oklahoma City. My co-worker Tia said “I do” with her soul mate Chico. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but I’ve heard that a rainy wedding day is a good sign. It didn’t rain during the ceremony, but the skies opened up during the reception. Our cell phones …
Oklahoma is known for its BBQ. I don’t eat it a ton, but I’ve definitely had my fare share. I would say the biggest down side is by the time you leave the restaurant, you smell like BBQ for the rest of the day. I was meeting a donor in Edmond for lunch earlier this …
Last week I was in Oklahoma City for appointments. I didn’t have a lunch meeting scheduled, so I was on my own. I had been craving sushi the previous weekend and didn’t get to have any, so I knew I needed to have it for lunch. I couldn’t find a place I wanted on restaurant.com, …
Oklahoma City has a lot of wonderful restaurants. For delicious food and mimosas for a great Sunday Funday, try Stella Modern Italian Cuisine. I was raised Catholic and went to church every Sunday as a kid, but I rarely go now. There’s honestly not really any reason that I don’t. So I decided to try …
Tony always makes breakfast on Sunday mornings for me & Joni before I leave Dallas. I’m not sure if he does it all the time, but he does it when I’m there, so that is the most important. Breakfast tides me over until I get to OKC, and then I’m ready for lunch. I looked …
