Patriotic Parfait
Completely constructed from local finds, this patriotic parfait will have you waving the flag of surrender to this fruity treat!
You can’t celebrate Flag Day properly without a Patriotic Parfait! Plus, it’s a “twofer” because you can also do it again for the 4th of July! Or in the UK. Or France. Or Texas. Or even North Korea. Truly, red white and blue is a popular flag combination, if we’re being honest. That’s why I named it Patriotic Parfait, because the original name was Flag Day Parfait (but who searches for that, right?!). (Also, if you’re unfamiliar with a twofer, it’s a shortcut for the phrase “two for one.” Oklahoman lesson of the day.)…
Atomic Salad
This salad is called Atomic Salad because the fresh garlic in the dressing packs a big punch! It’s perfect for a quick but flavorful addition to dinner.
Is your hum-drum salad life getting you down? No worries – the Rankins bring you: Atomic Salad! Justin loves this salad, but I think it’s mostly because it has olives and they’re “probably” in his top 5 favorite foods. I’m pretty sure that we had this with dinner the first time I went to his parents’ house for dinner when we were dating. I’m not an olive fan, but you can go without! (Just give them to your resident olive-eater.) I’m grateful that Justin’s mom was willing to share this with me and gave the OK to share it with you!

Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Who doesn’t love an easy chicken salad? Well…me, at one point. I think it’s because I have this distaste for all condiments besides BBQ sauce, and mayo just doesn’t ever really cut it for me. Although I’ve definitely warmed up to mayo in chicken salad, I knew there was a way to health-ify this lunch favorite. It turns out, you can use plain Greek yogurt! Yep – even though I also use it for sour cream. It’s so versatile!

Dduk Guk (Korean Rice Cake Soup)
It’s nearly February (already!) and that means it’s almost time to break out one of my only once-per-year pieces of clothing that I own: My Korean football jersey. It’s red, and it’s got a tiger on the side. It’s cool. But it’s a little big. So I wear it as my “red” for the Lunar New Year. (And also that one time freshman year I wore it to a “Stoplight” Party…thanks KA). Lunar New Year this year is on February 8. And it’s the year of the Monkey. Which is the year of my husband!

30 Minutes or Less: Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Confession: I don’t really eat lettuce. That being said, I had some salad with dinner today. Which was mostly ranch dressing…Lettuce is simply a vessel for bigger and better things, let’s be real here. It’s the same with these chicken lettuce wraps. If you don’t have any lettuce, it’s still a great filling for tortilla wraps, or eating straight out of the pan by the spoonful.
