OMG. First, this is a journey for me. Much like Mary Oliver, pie crusts and my ever-growing brass mirror collection. A journey. (don’t look at me like that, Mindy.) Which means, I’ve not mastered it. But I had to document where I landed this week because still, STILL, it was unbelievably flooring. My ricotta (which […]
Yes I’m still all about tomatoes, which is truly the only way to be right now. But hello, tomato butter. TOMATO BUTTER. (!) Have you ever made tomato butter? I’m going to say tomato butter so many times in this post we’ll have no idea what the words even mean anymore. Tomatobuttertomatobuttertomatobutter. It’s an August […]
You might need to sit down for this one. Because yes, we are looking, square in the eye, at a whipped citrus feta dip with HERBED focaccia. Because who doesn’t need another dip in their lives? It truly takes a moment to whip up (ha), and the little fresh embellishments are where it’s AT. Also […]
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 […]
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, […]
Another side dish! In dip form. Salsa form. You guys really like dips. Maybe this blog will be named Bev Dips from now on. (ew) It’s a (version of a) salsa that’s been swirling around the interflex for some time now. A little trendy, but I can’t help but see why. It’s the best of […]
It’s Dip Day! (<–not a thing) But it could be. This is one of those dreamy dips that sticks with you. It works best if you’d had a moment to chill it for a few minutes post blitzing so that it firms up, so try not to skip that part. The flavors are fire (apparently […]
Do you know how many times I had to double check to make sure I put a b instead of a p? OH, YOU WOULD, TOO. Um, I have the fanciest, easiest, most exquisite but not intimidating crab dip for your Memorial Day weekend. And I’m serious. It’s the type of dip that you make […]
MORE LIKE FUNDUE. (oh please, you 100% saw that coming.) Baaaaack in the day, when Aaron and I were freshly married and living in our downtown loft in Kansas City and I had a good tight neck, we hosted annual Christmas Fondue parties. Like, every year for YEARS. For maybe three years. So not every […]
Dog days. And I hate the words dog and days back to back. But it’s the gruesome reality we face. It’s the injustice ways of Mama Nay Nay with her lethal dragon breath upon our fragile skin. And I KNOOOOW turning on the oven is travesty. I get it! I do. But. It’s our only […]
