Frrrrrrrrrrrehdehhhhhhh! This might be a dumb-dumb question but, where the hell do candles even go? Like taper candles, when they burn down, some of them turn into molten medieval beauty-and-the-beast style dripeedos, and some straight up DISAPPEAR.

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrow’s your bracket?! Let’s start there before I reveal a shocker of all shockers. FIRST OF ALL, did you see Arkansas last night? I did not, I’m a grandma and went to bed. But I got up and Aaron gave me the heartbreaking details. How sad! To have such an intense lead, only to lose […]

Greek Chicken Tacos

Greek Chicken Tacos / Bev Cooks

Taco night! But with a slight twist. A slight Greeky twist. I know I have similar recipes on this internet blog website URL, but a couple of weeks ago I made chicken shawarma wraps, and looooved the way the chicken turned out. So I brought it over to some taco vibes and here we are. […]
