For a woman, few things are better than shopping and dessert. I love a day when I have lunch with a friend, enjoy a few hours of shopping at my own pace and top it all off with dessert in the afternoon followed by a nap. Lunch is best when it’s spur-of-the-moment, but since The [...]

It’s Friday at noon. You’re tired, looking forward to the weekend, and what’s that sound? A hungry stomach, that’s what! You’ve hit all the usual spots and you are looking for something tasty and affordable. Click the image below to Join the Facebook Event page: Well, if you don’t mind my asking, what’s more affordable [...]

It was mid-week, and we were looking for a filling but reasonably priced lunch. A few miles away was Stadium Subs & Cream, and we have been hearing about this $5 Lunch Special. For $5 you can get any 6″ Sub, Choice of Chips or a Small Ice Cream and a 20 oz. Drink. Hard [...]

Me and ice cream, we go back, and I mean way back. My earliest memory of ice cream or something close to ice cream, was this orange sherbet Flintstones push-up pop. Those orange cylindrical treats were the highlight of any summer visit to my grandparents, even if a thick layer of “ice fuzz” covered most [...]

If you are wondering why your favorite ice-cream shop is missing it’s sign, and if your favorite ice cream shop is Maggie Moos, fear not. Tulsa’s four area Maggie Moos franchise locations are not going away. Rather, longtime owner/operator Mary-Ann Brinton is transforming these locations into a non-franchised, fast and casual concept called Stadium Subs [...]

At some point in my younger years, I decided without ever tasting it, and with complete certainty, that I did not like bread pudding. Case closed. Where would I ever have gotten such a notion? Um, let me think, oh yeah, my mother. She never cared for bread pudding, regarding it as nothing more than [...]

Superb food in an elegant Brookside setting for $12. What more can I say? Oh, there’s more. There’s a crucial point almost halfway through Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece “To the Lighthouse” when family and friends assemble for dinner. Sitting around the dinner table, each feels alone, distant and uncaring as they perform the social rituals of [...]

Wednesday was an eventful Spring Break day. Not that the other ones haven’t been. It’s just that we were especially mobile on hump day. We: Woke up early Took a long nap Wore lots of green (hello, it was St. Patrick’s Day) Drove Route 66 (Did you know that it winds right through the heart [...]

I was very excited to try Nibbles Cafe on Memorial. I have heard good things about their cakes, especially wedding cakes. It was mid-week, and my friend and I wanted to meet up for lunch. When it is a “girlfriend lunch”, I enjoy going to cute place with a lot of personality and good food. [...]

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 sure to [...]

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, wedding venues [...]

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 there on [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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. Two Sisters Pub Grill [...]
