Friday Flotsam

fall walkway / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsamflotdayfri! I have a little personal tidbit of info that I think you might find surprising. I’m severely underestimating your interests, in other words. Get this, I can stick my hand down a garbage disposal without barfing or passing out. With the motor off, you psycho! But I can. It took me a long long […]

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter / Bev Cooks

Did you see that title?! We are so getting our farmer on. You guys, this was the very first time I made butter from scratch. To put it mildly, I was completely freaking my face off. Butter! From scratch! Have you made this before? Science is so bananas. To watch a liquid transform into a […]

Honeycrisp Apple Galette

Honeycrisp Apple Galette / Bev Cooks

While it’s still September, let’s squeeze in one more apple situation. You can’t be upset about this. Galette! My favorite. Also called free-form pie, which I thoroughly dig. This version today will have us experiencing honeycrisp apples and earthy rosemary to the highest degree. And we’ll sweeten with the most delicious agave nectar (honey is […]

Faaaarrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyddddddaaaaaaai. I bought readers! READERS. Glasses. Like Meryl Streep. I finally bought some. Listen, I’m not going to bore you with how I lost a favorite pair of Warby Parkers two years ago at a winter basketball practice, and am criminally overdue for an eye exam and am in desperate need of a new pair […]

Apple, Kale and Turkey Panzanella Salad / Bev Cooks

I’m not sure who came up with BREAD salad but I’d like to shake their hand and cry into their shoulder for an entire afternoon. Because this one is out of control. We have thinly sliced honeycrisp apples, perfectly toasted seasoned baguette, chopped kale, plenty of diced parmesan cheese and chopped deli turkey because hi, […]

Salmon Piccata Bowls

Salmon Piccata Bowls / Bev Cooks

Salmon bowls! But piccata style, baby. We’re huge bowl fans around here (read: completely obsessed), so I came up with a fun way to have piccata flavors but with rice! And salmon! And one more explanation point just for the hay of it! It’s fairly simple, easy enough for a school night, but also packs […]

Frrrrrreedeelooloolaahlaah! UM. Hold on. Have any of you ever heard of this word? Pseudocyesis. (100% had to google, copy and paste.) It’s also known as phantom pregnancy. Which, okay, I can wrap my head around. But DID YOU KNOW that with this pseudocyesis syndrome, the belly actually grows? It grows like a baby is in […]

Chickpea Salad with Cucumbers and Red Onion

Chickpea Salad with Cucumbers and Red Onion / Bev Cooks

We can obsess over a quick protein salad, can’t we? We can. And this one is speedy, beany, herby and crunchy. What’s not to love. I didn’t roast these chickpeas, but get on with that if it fuels you. I looooove roasted chickpeas to freaking death, but my impatience won this time. Jars open, beans […]
