It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the [...]

Indian Lentil Saute with Kale and Asparagus
“She’s going out to eat some lentils. Who’s that girl, it’s Bev!”(lyrics have been changed to protect the innocent) Ugh. I can’t get it out of my head. See, I started watching New Girl from the beginning again because there are a bunch of episodes in the middle that I missed and I’m trying to [...]

Super Fresh Spring Salad
I gotsta one more salad fer ya! This one is super fresh, super vegetarian, super pretty and super FRESH. Like the fresh prince of Bel Air. THEY JUST DON’T MAKE TV LIKE THAT ANYMORE. I’m keeping this short because the cabinet guy is here finishing the SUPER FRESH trim on the cabinets. And he’s installing [...]

Soba Noodles with Scallops and Vegetables
Slurp. Crunch. Chew. Pow. Zing. Faint. Repeat. That’s pretty much what we’re dealing with here, folks. A quadrafecta of bite by bite mouthal blowout. I discovered soba noodles a lawng time ago, in an old Domino magazine. Which BY THE WAY, am I crazy or did I hear it’s coming back? Like, only online? Or [...]

Rustic Spring Pizzettes and a Breakfast Bowl
So we started demo last night. And I HAYELPED. (name that 80s commercial.) Aside from the fact that there are only 8 gaping holes in our walls with tree limbs poking through and birds flying in and out, I think we did a fantastic job! And by “we” I mean “totally not we.” I’m also [...]

Spring Vegetable Flatbread
You know those birds I was talking about singing A Chorus Line on my back porch at 6am? They’ve now moved on to The Phantom of the Opera and I can’t decide if I owe them admission fees or a knuckle sandwich. Let’s talk about flatbread while I try to figure out these perplexities in [...]

Orzo Risotto with Chicken and Spring Vegetables
SPAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IS HEEAAAAHHHH. Well, sort of. Technically it’s next week. But if you could sit next to me and witness this deafening performance of A CHORUS LINE being put on by 37,000 robins on my back porch at 6am, you’d agree. Spring is up in this piece. I’ve never said “up in this piece” [...]

Roasted Asparagus and Chickpeas in a Spicy Sauce
I remember being so confused when I was little and someone would say “fly by the seat of my pants.” Are you insane? Your seat pants can’t fly! Unless you sit on a little rug like Aladdin. And if you can do that, then seriously, take me for a ride. I’ve been dying for an [...]

Chicken Pesto Panini
Panini, panino. Plablini, plablino. Let’s call the whole thing off. Guess who’s late to the “getting the actual word right” party? Yeppers. But it’s not my fault! I couldn’t find a cab and it was raining and blah blah BLAH. I’m not kidding when I say that not even 200 days ago, I didn’t know [...]

Sausage, Fennel and Asparagus Pizza (& A Chocolate Giveaway!)
So it’s February and we’re grilling pizza. Outside. In the OUTDOORS. But you don’t rightly care because there is a chocolate giveaway at the end of this post. I know how you people work. But hold on to your cheelahs because I really need to blab about this pizza for an hour or 40. It [...]
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."
