Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhduhluhmuhyuh! (I’m fine, why do you ask?) I think we might be getting a Ferris Wheel. Not at my house, ya boob. But our CITY. I think Kansas City might be getting a Ferris Wheel. And maybe I don’t even need to capitalize Ferris Wheel, but I’m going to anyway. A Ferris Wheel! Isn’t that […]

Homemade Hummus

Homemade Hummus / Bev Cooks

It’s ABOUT time. I know. Hummus! Creamy, dreamy, smooth-like-buttah hummus. And guess what, I brought back a couple of tips from Israel! Including tahini from the original press in Jerusalem. Hello, cannot get any better than that. You can find good imported tahini everywhere, so just get the good stuff and you’re in fine shape […]

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones / Bev Cooks

We’re making more scones today! (<–exclamation point absolutely necessary) But let’s go with loads of lemon and poppy seeds this time. We’ve made cheddar scones. We’ve made gruyere and sausage scones. We’ve even made a caprese version. All completely different personalities and irrational obsession worthy. I knew you were my people. Let us peepeth. Your […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! . ! . eedoo. !! …! I’m on the hunt for white pleated shorts. Which might possibly be the nerdiest way to begin a blog post, but this is where I am in life. I have some on the way from Amazon. Which means one of two things: secret loophole of fashion gold, […]

Travel Favorites (with Links!)

Travel Favorites / Bev Cooks

Hey-ohhhhhh! Let’s talk travel staples. I have all these airplane travel links and beach necessities in my IG highlights, but I figured now’s a good time to have a solid home for these products if you need to pop over and peep them before a trip. Pop and peep. We’re starting a band called Pop […]

Pork Chops over Polenta with an Herbed Wine Sauce

Pork Chops over Polenta with an Herbed Wine Sauce / Bev Cooks

It’s fancy! But not. Sort of. Not really. Never mind. I hardly ever make meals like this. A protein, a starch, a veg. It’s so old-school, and I love the idea of it. I just never make it happen. UNTIL TODAY DUH DUH DUUUUUH. We’re making something delicious. It’s a wine sauce over seared pork […]
