Pasta Rings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon

Pasta Rings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon / Bev Cooks

This is your second chance in life. And it involves carbs and bacon. And brussels sprouts, which is green, so it’s basically a salad. Meals like this govern my life. Approachable enough for a weeknight, but disguised as a pretentious, laborious weekend undertaking that makes you stabby. It’s quite simple really! And you can juggle […]

No-knead Bread

Fr                                                                                                                                   iday. So the other day I was texting with Jess. Not to be confused with JESS. One I salivate for, the other I salivate with. No no, Jess – my maj homegirl. My neurotic partner in crime. The only other person who uses as many exclamation points and all caps in a text as […]

Salsa Verde Pork-Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Salsa Verde Pork-Stuffed Poblano Peppers / Bev Cooks

…Covered in cheese. I forgot to mention that. They’re covered in a fat snuggle blanket of bubbly cheese. I’m completely dying over these stuffed peppers. Dying. If I could dance around in a circle and howl at the moon in a fit of BANANAS BEGGING, I’d so do it. They deserve it. However! I will […]

Thoughts on This Whole Motherhood Business: Year Three

Also known as, the year I turned to Botox. Awwww, would ya look at that? Such innocence, such sweetness, such unbridled sibling adoration and the tender formation of lifelong bonds. SUCH LIES. Well, it’s been another year with the gremlins! Another year of personal growth and mental development, of baby-step maturing, of bodies morphing and […]
