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 […]

Radishes with Pesto Butter

Radishes with Pesto Butter / Bev Cooks

Veeeeeeery simple summer side dish comin’ at ya today. (<–not sure how I felt about “comin’ at ya.”) First of all, if you’ve never just casually snacked on radishes, what is your life? Crunchy, peppery, pungently satisfying. They’re like little mouth bombs of pleasure. AND THEN WE ADD IN PESTO BUTTER. We’re gonna need to […]

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, […]

Like winter bruschetta! Like the WINTER PIE. But toast. I’m trying to capitalize on winter right now, can you tell? This is what I imagine for your Valentine’s Day. Besides this playlist. And these gifts. This bruschetta! It’s a snack, but make it fashion. Roasted tomatoes and onions slathered in umami, over tangy but sweet […]

Sage and Ricotta Puff Pastries

Sage and Ricotta Puff Pastry / Bev Cooks

And the ricotta is cracked! Like, for Halloween. I planned that. I planned the . . . cracking. I knew that would happen. No, I did. But aren’t they cute? Cracking aside, you’re going to obsess over the flavor because I don’t know if you heard, but we put lemon in that ricotta and it’s […]
