So I’m tweeting with Phillip Phillips’ girlfriend. Is this a new low for me? I prefer to think of it as a new awesome. I tried tweeting with Phillip himself, but when I noticed a line of cop cars in front of my house and snipers in my birch trees, I climbed down from my [...]

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 [...]
Cookbook Review – Simply Fresh (POTATO CHIPS!)
You thought you were done with me for the day. HA! Sucker. I wanted to show you something real quick. You know how I’ll occasionally do cookbook reviews for Cooks and Books and Recipes? Wayell, I did a book review for this amazing new book, Simply Fresh, and wouldn’t ya know, it’s live on their [...]
Grilled Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes
As you know, we were welcomed home yesterday to a Mount Everest-sized pile of green beans and jalapeno peppers. Which was zippity do da with me, because instead of hitting the grocery store, I needed to bathe our dog. Our little dog who tromped through the woods and invited 463 zillion chiggers, ticks and fleas [...]
Friends, Fun and French Fries
This weekend one of my best friends from high school breezed through town on her way to see family in Colorado. It had been a few years since I’d seen her last. And as expected, we picked right back up where we left off. It’s absolutely impossible for us take a serious picture together. This, [...]
Grilled Filet Mignon with a Blueberry Sauce, Smashed Potatoes and Grilled Garden Broccoli
Even though the summer season doesn’t official begin for another couple of days, I sure am feeling it now. And I mean that in a good way. People are ferociously filling their eco-totes with fresh vegetables and fruits from the farmers’ markets. Couples in love and budding families are lounging over long lunches at restaurant [...]
Basil-y Grilled Salmon with Cucumbers and Potatoes
Today I went the extra mile to prove to my husband that I do in fact love him. We went, and I’m not kidding, to the Street League Skateboarding Championship at the Sprint Center. Skateboarding. Let me remind you, I’m FEMALE. AND 34. In the 15,000 people that attended, there was only 1 other female, [...]
Crazy Chicken with Skillet Potatoes and Swiss Chard
When we were in Florida on vacation, (I swear this is the last time) not only did I pick up a most exotic espresso steak rub at a local spice shop, but I also scored an awesomely titled spice blend, “Crazy Chicken.” “Crazy Chicken” – seriously, who wouldn’t buy that? I smelled it and you [...]
A Trip to the Farmer’s Market. AKA Disney World for Foodies.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for the Farmer’s Market to be open during the week. I’m fine with it on the weekends, of course, but something about a mid-week trip screams, “I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!” Actually, I think that was Leonardo DiCaprio, but whatever.
Shrimp-Boil Kebabs
A few months ago a pair of finches in love decided to build a nest right on top of our back porch patio speaker. They immediately discovered our frequent in and out pattern. Scared to death, the little finches would sit, pouting, on a nearby power line, waiting for us to remain indoors. YOU CAME [...]
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."
