Tulsa Food

You drive by it all the time, if your like me you are going to stop at least once or more this summer to grab a mutli-flavored shaved ice snow cone. They are addictive and the perfect remedy to a crazy hot summer day. My first snow cone of the summer was at the Freckles [...]

Whats the most memorable cookie you’ve ever experienced? No, really. Share with us below. I can recall mom’s holiday cookies not too long after they came out of the oven. Warm dough with gooey, chocolatey chips in the center. What was more memorable was the people that I enjoyed the cookies with. Barbee Cookies is [...]

Though far from short on trips to Brady Tavern, I have yet to make it to the end of the meal with room for dessert. While dining at their chef’s table back in the kitchen for my birthday, I figured it was not an option at this point- I would manage to fit a sweet [...]

Remember the smell of Grandma’s house…the fresh baked cookies, cakes or breads that she lovingly prepared just for you? She used only the best ingredients, and it showed. Only using fresh, natural ingredients that you can actually pronounce. With food this good, you know you’re eating only the best. That’s what you can expect when [...]

“I think I have found my new favorite restaurant in Tulsa,” I satisfyingly proclaimed as we finished up our Jalapeno Cheesecake at the new Go West Restaurant & Saloon near New Sapulpa Road in Tulsa. Everything from the extravagant, contemporary western décor to the strong attention to detail in the silverware, I was strikingly impressed [...]

If cupcakes are your weakness, then prepare to be obliterated. Tulsa is about to get a few new cupcake store-fronts which will accommodate any cupcake lover, regardless of which side of town you live on. You may already be a fan of Tulsa’s established bakeries that serve cupcakes such as Ann’s Bakery and Merritt’s Bakery [...]

One thing that blows my mind is to think back about my heritage. My genealogy is a true melting pot, as is a lot of people in the states. Throughout my life one of the cultures that has been the most evident is my Lebanese heritage. If you knew me you might never know that [...]

Cookies aren’t really that hard to come by these days. Every grocery store has a cookie aisle. Most of the time you can find common ingredients around the house to bake cookies, or you can fake it and get the refrigerated dough. You Could do those things to get cookies, but how often do you [...]

How often do you eat a lip-smackingly delicious dinner and then, much later, realize that you’ve been tricked into eating a totally healthy meal, prepared with no fat whatsoever and more crunchy locally grown veggies than you normally eat in a week? Oh, once in a Blue Moon. Blue Moon certainly does not advertise themselves [...]

Food has always been something much more than a substance that nourishes my body. It is yet to be determined whether that statement gets me in trouble with my health. Nonetheless, I have always been a person that enjoys living my life with little boundaries and always willing the go to the next level. Going [...]

We knew it was coming but weren’t sure if we wanted a change. Fire Rock Grill & Bar has just added a Southwest menu which includes more delicious food and margarita options that have caused me to explore outside the norm. If you are like me you love a good weekday happy hour or Friday [...]

A narrow upward-sloping path, the sun blazing down. The path is white and dusty, everything is white with heat-wave shimmer, the sun is fierce. There’s a scent of thyme in the air from Mount Hymettus, and the constant whirr of cicadas. You reach the top of the hill and gleaming white columns sparkle against the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
