plants and pretty / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrar! Dar! Flar! Sar! I really don’t have much for you today. This week, on the contrary, has felt so nice. I’ve kept busy and steady in a rhythm that just works for me. Is my basement dry? Not after the rain we got. Is that okay? We’ll get there. It’s better, but not perfect. […]

Easy Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad

Easy Tuscan Tuna Salad / Bev Cooks

Your spring and summer go-to lunch, right here! Actually, it’s a spinoff of an older recipe of mine from 2012. I felt like it needed a little freshen up! A lil’ tweaking. (not twerking) A video to go with it, ya know? So here it is. The only difference is, instead of black olives, I […]

pretty scene / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Okay, two crazy things. And when I say crazy I mean ONE is crazy and the other just sucks. But we’ll make it. The first thing though, my watch fell off!

We’re talking ultimate comfort for the mouth hole. And did I mention it’s one pan? It’s one pan. One. Pan. You’ll slice and […]

Frrrrrrrehdeh! Flehtsehm! Do you want to know what the world needs now? (besides love, sweet love) A MINI PLUNGER. I said what I said. A mini plunger! You can also call it baby plunger if you’re lacking a substantial amount of joy in your life. We’ve had an issue with our (newish!) garbage disposal (as […]

Air Fryer Asian Chicken with Rice

Air Fryer Asian Chicken with Rice / Bev Cooks

Heavy Rotation Alert! It’s marinated chicken. It’s air fryer. It’s over a bed of rice. It’s got all the cool and crunchy texture to finish. It’s perfect! Let me show you.

estate sale / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrurdurdoodoodayday! You guys! I have news. Yesterday when I went to check the weather on my phone, the weather app went into RETRO MODE and it looks exactly like the ’90s. Not that there were apps in the ’90s, but it looked liked TV! The font and the graphics were the exact same. The exact […]

Happy April! It’s our anniversary! 21 years. Don’t tell my jowls about this. We plan to take coffees in the van, make our IRA contributions and hit an estate sale for Easter basket things!
