sunrise / bev cooks

FFFFFFFFFFFFF aaaaaaahhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrederleedo. Okay, this is about to get ril gross, or you’re a completely normal person like me. Maybe. And it’s a poll, so saddle up. Do you separate your laundry? As in – do you separate your whites from your colors? OR do you separate your loads by people? (Bridget, I’m looking at you.) […]

Lobster Salad Lettuce Cups

Lobster Salad Lettuce Cups / Bev Cooks

You’re either going to think I’m complete trash by the end of this post, or you’ll love meh with your entire blistered soul. We’re not going to talk about how everything costs one million dollars right now. It’s outrageously frustrating. So I say, when the times get stupid, we eat imitation lobster and love every […]

FRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRR ah dah. I’ve decided I’m not into clapping. Clapping my hands. Not into it. Not like, in general, but when a musician puts his/her hands above their hands holding the mic in a dramatic clap, asking the audience to clap along. Oh no. Please don’t. None of this audience can properly clap. Especially not […]

Crunchy, peppery, pungently satisfying. They’re like little mouth bombs of pleasure. AND THEN WE ADD IN PESTO BUTTER. We’re gonna need to […]

Chocolate Oats Pudding with Peanut Butter / Bev Cooks

Dessert alert! Dessert alert! This is your official warning! I can chill. Okay, you guys. It’s like, a pudding thing. A granola, chocolate-y, peanut butter pudding thing. I have no idea. It was one night earlier this summer when I was craving something sweet but not obnoxious. Something with texture but not stupid. Something that […]

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives / Bev Cooks

Back with another side dish! Dip-style. And this one is an under-five minute no brainer. Zero cooking. Only spooning and snipping and drizzling and sprinkling. Also, don’t tell anyone but it’s a copy cat of my beloved French Market’s famous ricotta dip. Only theirs is fresh ricotta (which you can totally do!), and hand dipped, […]
