Whoa there, beefy mcbeeferpants! I didn’t mean to post two beef-a-roo (or is it beef-a-MOO? OHHHHH) recipes two days in a row. Maybe I’m low on iron? Maybe a message was subliminally sent to me in cloud formation from the sky? Maybe I’m still sad that Elise got sent home on American Idol but relieved [...]

Pork Kebabs with Apples and Potatoes
Excuse me but, where’s winter? I’ve looked under the bed, on the side of the house and in my purse and I’m not seeing it. I even looked at our Kansas City long range forecast and there’s like, no sign of the old man. I’ve always wanted to say “long range.” I feel so grown [...]
Creamy Penne with Blue Cheese, Arugula and Toasted Walnuts
This recipe makes me sing a little Dionne Warwick tune that I’m absolutely positive you treasure in your heart as much as I do. The classic, “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again.” Except the lyrics go like this in my head: “What do you get when you fall in love? A bucket of penne with [...]
Sardine and Arugula Crostini
Okay, before you read the title of this post, break out into a clammy sweat and lunge for the browser exit, hear me out! I’m betting that if you’re like most homo sapiens, the thought of eating sardines out of a tin can is equivalent to being tarred and feathered in the middle of the [...]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Basil and Cheese
I remember being a youngster and eating a stuffed chicken breast for the first time and thinking, “dude, how did you get all this stuff IN there?” Then my mom ran at me with a chef’s knife aimed at my head, came to an abrupt stop 2 inches away from my deer-in-the-headlights sweaty face and [...]
Fall Salad with Prosciutto, Pear and Roasted Endive. And Candied Walnuts.
Poll Time: How do you pronounce the freaking word “endive?” Is it AWN-DEEVE? or N-DIVE? I really want it to be AWN-DEEVE, because that’s the way the lady says it in the car commercial when she’s trying to unlock her tricked-out car but she’s at the wrong car because she really drives a station wagon [...]
Garden Tomato Pizza
I know I just posted about pizza not too long ago, but who can really help it? It’s summer, and that obviously means that your face needs the pizza. Especially when every few seconds a nurse brings in a basket of baby tomatoes newly birthed from the garden. * we don’t have a nurse in [...]
Grilled Peach Salad
For the last couple of Christmases, my sweet memaw has gifted me with a subscription to Southern Living magazine. You see, I’m actually from the south, and I do in fact have a memaw. Oh I’m not even kidding. She even starts every sentence with, “Wayell daaaarlin’!” I love her. A lot. To my surprise, [...]
Summer Eats = Plums
Plums remind me of summer. Specifically, when I was a kiddo and visiting my grandparents in south Arkansas. They always seemed to have plums for some reason. They also had an old white truck that my sister and I would BEG to take rides in through the countryside. We’d ride in the open back bed, [...]
Mediterranean Barley Toss
Gorgeous. Day. The sort of day perfect for a run, a smidge of yard work, reading a book outdoors, thrifting tank tops for upcoming beach vacation, and a nap. While the nap has yet to happen, I’m sure it will be lovely when it gets here. I guess by then it will be called sleep. [...]
About Bev
7 years ago as I was reaching for the toy in the bottom of a cereal box I'd opened for dinner, I had an epiphany, "Yeah, I need to learn how to cook."
