Hellooooo, August! And welcome to your second overdose of Bev’s music obsessions, AKA: another round of my favoritest songs, AKA: it’s my birthday month so I’m basically the queen of life, AKA: why did I just speak in third person a few seconds ago? I always love this time of year, which is completely insane […]

Shrimp Nacho Party Bites
We’re having a pretend party today because I feel like it, dang it. Actually, I just opened the back door to let my dog out, and it’s like 67 degrees! SIXTY SEVEN. If that’s not means for a pretend party I don’t know what is. I mean sure, it’s going to hit 91 horrendous degrees […]
Cucumber Mint Sorbet
WHY IS IT SO HOT OUTSIDEEEE. Sorry to scream. Please tell me Kansas City’s not the only town sitting on the face of the SUN. It is crazy brutal right now. Heat indexes of five thousand. Humidity of 3 billion percent. Ozone layer on the verge on quitting its job it’s so pissed off. It […]
Friday Flotsam
FRAY-FRAY-DAY-DAY-CRAY-CRAY-no. I think I’m watching too much Seinfeld. Last night I dreamed (wait, dreamt? is that right? hold on let me look it up. okay it’s right, but it’s weird. dreamt.) about the crew, as if they were my crew. And I wanted them to be my crew! We were all at this gigantic restaurant […]
Hot Pepper Jelly
Soooooo hot! Kind of. Before we start talking about garden pepper jelly, can I just tell you real quick that I just put a dead fly in my mouth? On accident, you weirdo! In my sleepy haze, I refilled the empty water glass on my nightstand, and just started gulping away in the dark. It’s […]
Open-Faced Heirloom Tomato Sandwiches
This is how you shove summer in your face. And it’s colorful, too, so we’re basically winning at vegetables. Or wait! Fruits. Tomatoes = fruit. My bad. Why again are tomatoes fruit? Because of the whole seed thing? I think that’s a load of crock. Next you’re going to tell me that Koala bears are […]
Friday Flotsam
Freedle-dee-do. Woo woo woo! (<–ew) I absolutely love to run. Big runner, this gal. I don’t run crazy long impressive stretches, but I normally manage to get in a 2.5 mile run 4-5 times a week. Which is perfect for me. Of course I love the exercise benefits of running, the strength building, the muscle […]
What We’re Diggin’! (Summer 2015)

Every six to eight weeks or so, I’m going to pop in and tell you alllll about what we as a family are completely obsessed with. They […]
Asian Beef Burgers with a Shiitake Sauté
I don’t think you understand the level of deliciousness we’re about to embark on here. Matter of fact, there’s a high probability of the use of ALL CAPS in this blog post. Just warning you now. We all know of the glorious marriage of beef and mushrooms. Been around since the Beatle invasion, I think. […]
