    Syrup.

    Brunch with a purpose… Y’all, I’ve been eating at Syrup for a couple of years now, and wanted to share it with you because it is just so yummy.  Then on my last visit I learned it is so much more than just their super delicious food!   Their motto is ‘Eat Well x Do Good”.   Their vision is that you have a delicious breakfast and have local and global impact.   They do this by putting a percantage of their sales to local groups such as the Center for Children and Families in Norman, the Dragonfly Home in OKC, and in Cape Town, South Africa helping with sustainability.   Not only is their mission…

    Ground Beef Stroganoff

    Let's talk childhood dinners. Do you remember sitting around the table devouring your favorite dish, or maybe sitting on the couch propped up with a tv tray watching your weekly family show like Full House, Home Improvement, Family Matters or maybe the Wonder Years?? Growing up for me in my family, it was mostly dinner at the table with the TV off. I had some great dinner favorites like sloppy joes and chicken nuggets! haha {Quite the palate, I tell ya!}

    McClintock Saloon & Chop House

    Nestled on a side street in the Stockyard District of OKC is the most gorgeous saloon I’ve ever seen. McClintock Saloon & Chop House Walking in I was floored by all the beautiful woodwork and the chandeliers.  It was so glitzy, warm and inviting.  They have a lovely dining room area full of comfy booth seating on one side of the restaurant and over in the main room there is a giant 50 foot Red Oak bar with seating at the bar and also seating at their tables.  The attire that the waiters are wearing is so fun and so classic for the environment; I just love it!  The environment alone…

    Bacon Pancake Dippers

    These quick and easy pancake dippers are so fun and yummy.  We love the ease of eating them and the delicious mix of sweet and salty-savory.   All you need is a skillet, pancake mix, and bacon.   Start by cooking your bacon in whichever method works best for you.  We like to use our microwave and use one of these.  Prepare pancake mix according to package directions and pre-heat skillet.  I love to use my electric skillet when we make pancakes, for the ease of flipping. Start by placing bacon on the skillet and then scooping batter over the top. {scoop just enough to cover bacon} Let those cook for 3-5…

    National Championship BBQ, up-scale atmoshphere, friendly staff, and amazing chef.  Thats what you will find at OKC’s newest BBQ joint, Clark Crew BBQ.  {Located off I-44 and NW Expressway.} Chef Travis is one friendly guy with amazing smoking skills.  This man has won 7 Jack Daniels World Championships with 5 in a row!  He even has his own exclusive Single Barrel Jack Daniels Whiskey.   I love the way he came up with his name.  They were travelling up to Kansas City for a charity race for family and they stumbled upon a BBQ competition.  They went to explore and taste and Travis decided that he wanted to learn and conquer. …
