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 [...]

Spinach and Edamame Salad
Before we spiral into the vortex of chest hair-growing, involuntary grunting, crotch-scratching and Arsenio Hall arm-pumping-style dude food this week, we need to prepare our stomach cavity. We need to massage it and stretch it. We need to put a damp towel around its shoulders and squirt cold water into it. Give it pep talks, [...]
Slow Cooker Christmas Kitchen Sink Soup
Remember this from Instagram land? WELL, it’s now available at a website near you! I call it the “Christmas Kitchen Sink Soup” because: a) It’s all Christmas-y with some serious cinnamon and nutmeg business. b) You can pretty much throw anything into this soup (except ornaments, duh) and still have your face melt off in [...]
Quick Curried Chickpeas with Tofu and Kale
I’m nervous. My heart is racing. I have no idea why I’m doing this. You guys, in approximately 2 hours I’m going to our brand new H&M. How brand new? It opened….yesterday. #officiallylostmymarbles Is this a mistake? Am I even ready? Should I wear a camouflage helmet and bring trail mix in case of a [...]
Smoked Cod Soup
I know it’s 100 degrees out. I know it’s mid-June. I know the staple outfit these days is a bikini. I know most of you are firing up your grill tonight. I know. I still wanted soup for dinner. It’s my kitchen, I can soup if I want to. Yeah, that only sort of works, [...]
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. [...]
Spinach and Chickpea Burgers
The Great Vegetarian Challenge: Day 2 Um, pardon me? You, yes you – spring allergies. What did I ever do to make you hate me so much? What makes you think that a bright red runny nose and puffy eyes are considered “attractive?” What gives you the right to bestow feelings of poo on me [...]
Smoked Chickpeas. No, Not That Kind.
So I’ve been mentally packing for my trip this week. One of the items I was giddily going to include was my new pair of cream Sperry Topsiders. Then the darkness set in: a cruel trick from Mother Nature, a plot against me in my desire to wear warm weather footwear. I tell you what, [...]
Almost Weekend Soup
I keep thinking it’s Friday. What a cruel trick my mind is playing on me. The good news is, I have 3 more power foods to share with you tonight! This should help us coast into the weekend safely. Oh who am I kidding, WHY IS IT NOT FRIDAY? …that felt good. Tonight’s suppa features: [...]
Is That a Snowflake In My Soup
Tonight is a night many Kansas Citians have been waiting for. At last, a local weatherman, Gary Lezak, is giving his winter weather forecast at 10pm. I’ll be honest, I’m bracing myself for pessimal news. I’m even polishing my baseball bat in case of an unexpected, belligerent urge to bash in the TV. Things could [...]
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."
