Gosh, I really need to shave my legs. Oh, Hi! I didn’t see you there! Wow. Well, while I have you, I have some awesomely incredible greatness to share with you. And you might be all, “Yawn, Bev. Pasta, really?” And to that I say, RA-EALLY. This pasta has spice. This pasta has sweetness. This […]

French Lentils with Kale and Shrimp
Do you ever find yourself zombieously wandering around your kitchen, scanning the pantry inventory for dinner: wild rice, lentils, oats, cob webs. WAIT, oh ew. And then you drag yourself out to the garden, squinting into the blinding sun to check out what’s left of the season: kale, some herbs, a few tomatoes, weeds. WAIT, […]
Soy Chorizo and Two-Bean Chili
You’re probably reading the title of this post, rubbing your eyes, re-reading it and thinking, “The girl’s gawn coo-coo. Who eats chili IN AUGUST?” Well hold on now! I need to explain something. For the most part of yesterday, it felt like fall. Delicious, crisp, I-can-go-outside-and-not-die-from-the-heat fall. The temperatures stayed right around 66, steady rain […]

And I actually hadn’t discovered her blog until I heard this […]
Friends, Fun and French Fries
This weekend one of my best friends from high school breezed through town on her way to see family in Colorado. It had been a few years since I’d seen her last. And as expected, we picked right back up where we left off. It’s absolutely impossible for us take a serious picture together. This, […]
Garden Tomato Pizza
I know I just posted about pizza not too long ago, but who can really help it? It’s summer, and that obviously means that your face needs the pizza. Especially when every few seconds a nurse brings in a basket of baby tomatoes newly birthed from the garden. * we don’t have a nurse in […]
Sneak Peek
Surprise, surprise – we’re eating tomatoes for dinner! But what are we doing with them?
Obsession
I have a problem. A teensy, tiny, itty-bitty problem. I’m obsessed with glasses. Glasses and vases. Lovely, thrifted, vintage glasses and vases. It’s a little frightening to tell you the truth. Once I find myself in a thrift store, it happens. Like, out of nowhere. My eyes glaze over, I foam at the mouth, and […]
