bedroom / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeederrerereree! If you were a mall, what stores would you have? That’s an odd question, let me revamp that. Let’s say you were the PLAZA. The KC Plaza. And you were getting bought by new owners, and they needed a list of stores to bring to the Plaza, what would those stores be besides Aesop, […]

Breakfast Strata with Gruyere and Ham

Breakfast Strata with Gruyere and Ham / Bev Cooks

Voila, your Christmas morning breakfast! (don’t even argue.) If you’re not already completely obsessed with stratas, this is your sign. You have been granted ultimate permission to make your entire life about them. Why? Hi, eggs, cheese, bread, ham, your entire upper torso. Let us peepeth? (the answer is yes.) For the bread I went […]

Monthly Mixtape: Mulled Wine and Cream Twine

Monthly Mixtape / Mulled Wine and Cream Twine

Your Christmas jaaaaaams, bruh! (<—sorry) This mixtape might feel like a cop-out because it’s a collection of favorites from ALL my other Christmas mixtapes. But listen, if you have yet to delve into the past six or so of those, this will get you there. When it comes to Christmas music, I’m a bit persnickety. […]

snowy morning / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrit’s beginning to look a lot . . .like . . . I do love December 1st. It’s officially the OFFICIAL time of Christmas officialness. (I’m good with words.) There’s a different kind of magic in the air today, don’t you think?! The lights are twinkling in the streets, the elf is back (ugh), the […]

Eureka Springs / Bev Cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri need help. (shocked, you are?) We need to discuss carpet cleaner. Like a rug cleaner. Like the one directly below my house shoes right in this instant permeating dog piss up into my nostril caverns like a middle finger of doom. (I feel great why do you ask?) Charlie knows better, yes. But she’s […]

Soupy White Beans and Mushrooms

Soupy White Beans and Mushrooms / Bev Cooks

Absolute side dish HEAVEN. I dare you to argue. Thing is, it’s mostly vegetarian. I’m saying mostly because I don’t want the world coming at me for the chicken stock. So swap in some veggie stock and you’ve got a fabulous vegetarian slurpy situation. Also look how rustic it is. It’s my entire means for […]

Baked Burritos

Baked Burritos / Bev Cooks

Winter dinner coming at ya! (really an anytime dinner, but we’re feeling cozy, okay?) Sometimes these are called Wet Burritos which intensely grossed me out. We’re calling them baked. Baked burritos. With ground turkey and refried beans and aromatics and sauces and cilantro and a bit of our blistered soul. I feel like you’ll really […]

fall tree / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrah! tah! sa! ma! da! You want to know what else I can’t stand? (I’m feeling fine! Why do you ask?) SEEING SOCKS. Like out of a tennis shoe. Poking out like a little nosy turtle head. Nerp. I know it’s trendy. I know it’s cool with the Gen Z, but they’re wrong. I can’t […]
