Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroydoy. Why do you think we say “smart cookie?” “Oh, she’s a smart cookie. She’ll go far.” Smart cookie? I don’t feel like cookies are the smartest of treats. Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m no baker), but aren’t they among the simplest of desserts? What’s so smart about a cookie? What about, “Oh, she’s […]

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Sliders
MOOD FOOD, am I right? Not that I’m in a bad mood. I’m in a great mood! Because of these. Solely these. And YES you’re probably thinking, “Slow cooker, Bev? Really? In the summer? Off with her head!” Simmer down, chili cheese fries. Slow cooking in the summer is all the brilliant because it lets […]
Cheesy Tomato Gratin
I’ll understand if you need a moment. And yes, that is a delicious summer gratin punching you square in the face right now. LOOK AT THAT. WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. I also might want to mention that there are only five ingredients. Which makes this all the more awesome and less of an ordeal […]

FfFfFrRrRiIiIdDdDaAaAyYyY. (that was hard.) I drank dish water and found raw chicken left in the car overnight, HOW HAS YOUR WEEK BEEN? Really. I found my coffee cup in the sink (“Wait, did I put this here? I must have.), picked it up and took a big gulp. (“Why is this is so watery and […]
Pesto Turkey Meatballs with Pasta in a Creamy Basil Sauce
Do you need me to repeat “creamy basil sauce?” Because I’m more than willing. This is sort of like a “spaghetti and meatballs” sitch but only summerfied and creamland dreamland. Plus we’re putting pesto in the meatballs, so. Things are looking up for you. And your mouths. (wipe that drool, people are looking.) I’ll start […]
Bruschetta Shrimp Risotto
OKAY, let’s talk about something real quick before you yell at me all off-with-her-head style. Also, look at that. ^^ I mean my gosh. Okay but first. AH KNOW that the word “bruschetta” actually refers to the garlicky grilled bread in which the chopped tomatoes rest upon. And there’s no actual bread in this risotto. […]

Fffffffffru du a y ee oo! Okay, do we know what Seth Phillips looks like without sunglasses? Has anyone ever seen a photo of him without his iconic shades? Because we need to know what those peepers got. You’re like, “Who the wonk is Seth Phillips?” He’s Dude with Sign! You know, the beachy/hipster youngin’ […]
Greek Chicken Tacos
It’s like a taco/shawarma hybrid baby love child! These tacos are my new life. My boyfriend. My everything. I mean we’ve all had troughs of chicken tacos in our lifetime. But not like this. Not like this. It’s three things that come together for the mega mama wowza factor: marinated chicken, (tenders this time! but […]
Skillet Chicken with Rice, Zucchini and Corn
Another summer recipe! Because . . . well, July. It’s a two parter (you know how I like a good two parter), but still has that lazy, thrown-together feel of summer. Because a) we’ll marinate chicken thighs (thighs are life and this is part one), and then b) we’ll sear it in a skillet with […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRhi! Guys, I feel sorry for Karens. Not Karens Karens. They make me laugh/cringe. But real Karens. Actual Karens. Birth certificate Karens. Also, HOW DID THIS COME TO BE? First of all, I know two girls named Karen. Not currently, but I knew them in high school. And I always wonder, are . . . […]
