This week I decided to attempt the impossible. I know what you’re thinking “But Molly, you already attempted the impossible when you made macarons”. I know, I know. This is partly true. Macarons are a pass or fail creation. Either you do them the right way or they’re a complete disaster. There’s no such thing [...]

I have this strange urge to take on projects or responsibilities I know that I am only half-capable of doing, just to prove to myself that I can do them. The harder the project and less qualified I am, the better. I love challenging myself with difficult baking tasks. For instance, two winters ago I [...]

It’s sitting in the mailbox. You know it’s been on its way for awhile, yet you secretly hoped it wasn’t going to pan out. Maybe it will got lost, and that would be a good excuse. Wrong. Oh how wrong you were this time. You take it to the bowl on the table which is [...]

I keep going back on forth on my opinion of Valentine’s Day. Part of me thinks, “I don’t need a special day set aside for me to profess my undying love to my husband. He knows I love him and I know he loves me and I don’t need February 14 to be set aside [...]

Valentine’s Day is a special time to really show what you are made of to your spouse. This year we are really challenging you to go above and beyond to express one thing…that’s Love. We know that Tulsa isn’t the city of love, however, there are many locally owned romantic restaurants that are [...]

I have two great loves, cheese and sweets. Of course, that’s not counting Jeff Martin, my baby animal-loving husband. There’s also Woody Allen and J. Crew. Okay, let’s just say I have two great food-related loves. Somehow, and I’m not sure of the reason, I fell in love with the two worst things for you. [...]

Not that long ago I was watching Larry King Live. This is not something I ever try to make a habit of, but on this rare occasion I found myself watching an episode with Jack Hannah and baby animals. My husband has this obsession with baby animals that I find precious and somewhat bizarre at [...]

She adored the cookie. She idolized it all out of proportion. Uh, no. Make that, she romanticized it all out of proportion. To her, no matter what the season was, this was still a town where the most delicious cookie was made. Imagine George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue“, playing in the background and fireworks going [...]

Last weekend, Brian and I had a chance to visit the Oklahoma Wedding Show at the Expo Center. This event was put on by Oklahoma Magazine and was a great opportunity for Brides-to-be to meet with the best wedding vendors in the Tulsa area. From cake designers, DJ’s and musicians, photographers, bridal shops, [...]

Take your family or friends out to see the lights at Utica Square, and while you’re there, be sure to stop by Nantucket Creamery. I stopped by with my wife and drooled! It’s hard for me to decide what to try out! The kind folks who run the place make your order right [...]

Last Friday my former boyfriend and I were invited to test a new bakery and dessert bar in Center 1 on Brookside.

My former boyfriend is my husband now, by the way. I mean, he was my boyfriend at one point in time. Actually, a very, very miniscule point in time. Then, suddenly, I found myself [...]

Unless my ears are mistaken the merry sound of Christmas Muzac has invaded Tulsa’s Malls, so I thought we would celebrate with a couple of my favorite restaurant deals for couples and families to share.
We’ll start with the great Hideaway Pizza which looks festive year round and is always a favorite with the kids.
Hideaway Pizza [...]

This dessert is called To Die For. I’m still alive but just barely! Inside this dangerous dessert is chocolate ganache, vanilla ice cream and the most amazing brownie. Check it out at the 2 Sisters Pub & Grill located in historic downtown Bartlesville at 110 SW Frank Phillips Blvd…if you dare.

Baxter’s is a branch off the original Interurban Grill, but Owner Craig Baxter has made this restaurant his own personal creation in Downtown Tulsa. Interurban Restaurants began in 1976 when the Founders opened in Norman’s abandoned Interurban Trolley Station. Interurban is a casual and fun concept featuring a wide variety of menu items catering [...]

With Oktoberfest and Halloween with the kids coming up, this might be the last weekend to get a nice romantic dinner in. Brian and I had the chance to visit Bodean Seafood Restaurant and Fish Market. Wow. I cannot believe this beautiful gem is tucked away in South Tulsa. This is definitely a fine-dining restaurant [...]

Classy, stylish, sophisticated atmosphere, and some of the most elaborate food in town. Lucky’s menu, created by owners Matt and Brooke Kelley themselves, features something appealing for everyone. The menu was inspired by Matt’s extensive culinary training and visiting many culturally diverse places such as New York, Chicago and Mexico to create this lush [...]

Cardigans is a great place tucked away on Lewis Avenue offering home-cooked food, great service and a calm atmosphere. Open for 16 years, Cardigans reminded me of a sports bar type atmosphere without all the noise. The walls were scattered with history derived from pictures of Tulsa, and how things used to be downtown. [...]

Grand Opening Monday October 5th, Yokozuna is a brand new upscale Asian eatery in downtown Tulsa. Following Elliot Nelson’s other well known restaurants: 2 and soon-to-be 3 McNellie’s Pub locations, Dilly Deli and El Guapo, this local establishment has a modern flare with fresh Asian cuisine. Located in upcoming downtown, Yokozuna has great [...]

Nachos, taquitos, deep-fried burritos, and other foods that are neat-o . At the Tulsa State Fair you can eat funnel cakes, corndogs big and small, deep fried Snickers Bars or Twinkies (hopefully) and so many other exotic fair foods that fulfill any foodie’s deep fried dreams.
The Famous Tulsa State Fair is just around the corner. [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again!  However we are not talking about Christmas, but rather the Tulsa State Fair!  The Fair, running from October 1 to October 11, is a smorgasbord of sights, smells, events and most importantly food!  This year is no different.  In the hundred years since the first Tulsa [...]

As we rounded the corner before stepping through the glass door, all I could say was wow. I felt as if I was in New York City walking into a modern, sophisticated restaurant. With deep shades of black, grey, cream, silver and white, this ambient, classic atmosphere stole my breath as soon as [...]
