Spring eruption, in ya face! There are four hundred billion versions of this out there. And yes, we need them all. It’s what spring is made of. These simple ingredients, all married up and in your mouth. Let us peepeth? Yerp. I like pappardelle in this situation, because it’s drama. We take something as delicate […]

Monthly Mixtape: We Were Obsessed with These Songs Back Then
Happy April! APRIL. I’ll never understand it. Also, it’s our 19th wedding anniversary! NINETEEN. I’ll never understand it. To celebrate, I’m giving you a mixtape of music we were manically obsessed with back then. Me with no jowls. Aaron with no gray. Most of these songs are from albums that actually came out in 2005. […]
No-Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread
You can’t tell me you haven’t been thinking about this classic your whole entire life. This is what happens. It’s the beloved no-knead bread, but breakfast style! We put our thing down, flip it and reverse it with cinnamon, raisins and brown sugar. Everyone’s happy. Feel like a homemade rustic breakfast? I do, too. Let […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Hello Beautiful, The Plot and Garden Spells
Time for an overdue (haha) book chat! Three in total, each wildly different yet unbelievable must-reads in their own way. Each non-put-downable, gripping, horribly sad and energizing. Y’all ready for dis DUN DUN . . .dun dun dun dun dun DUN DUN… sorry. Hello Beautiful– OMG. You know those books that span the decades, that […]
Blackened Tilapia Sandwiches
Don’t people eat fish on Fridays this time of year? I feel like it’s Lenty, right? We’ll call it Lenty. Blackened tilapia! An unsung hero of fish dinners. I happen to actually like tilapia. It’s inexpensive, takes on any flavor you give it, and flakes beautifully. Here we’ll blacken the crud out of it for […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrartsarm! Let’s talk about Ilia. That doesn’t look right. Hold on. Yeah, that’s it! Except all capitals. ILIA. The makeup. I know we’ve talked about this before but every time my Nars gets low I panic and wonder what other magical cream is out there that I’m in the complete dark on. And by complete […]
Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
Is it dessert or breakfast? Or both? Whatever you choose to call it, it’s your business. Let’s eat cake! You in? Peepeth is underway. I ended up using only one lemon, but I’m still a good person. We’re putting yogurt in it which will add this smooth, tangy element to it, and girl, it’s pretty […]
Monthly Mixtape: Zoned out Droned Out
You’re about to get soooooo vibed out. First of all, happy March! Our trees are already budding. Daffodils are in full force and I’ve heard an achoo or two in the distance. Spring is here. And this mixtape is exactly what you’ll need for this seasonal transition. It’s all instrumental tripped out lo-fi jazz experimental […]
Roasted Chickpea and Israeli Couscous Salad
Is it a salad? Is it a side dish? Is it your new obsession? All correct. If you’re a fan of crunchy roasted chickpeas plus the the toothy tenderness of pearl couscous, your head’s gonna straight fall off with this. Not only is it vegetarian, but the textures are throwing an illegal rave party (rave […]
Bread Dipping Oil
I normally don’t do trends. But a BREAD DIPPING OIL? Twist my everything. These are popular right now. Maybe they’ve always been popular? Think: every Italian restaurant chain in the ’90s. IN. So we’re going to make one. And honestly, these are highly tweakable, adaptable, customizable, all the -ables you can muster up. We basically […]
