Carbs on carbs. Just the way I like it. But it’s not even that, fully. It’s mostly that. It’s probably 65% that. It’s the sauce! It’s 37% the sauce. Because it’s (A LOT of) roasted garlic, fresh thyme, a touch of cream and a little bit of silky olive oil. BA-LENDED. It’s probably 47% the […]
Creamy Bow Tie Pasta with Kale and Sausage
I almost just want you to skip down to the recipe. But don’t! It’s just THAT GOOD. Aaron came up with this recipe, and my head straight up popped off and rolled down the street at the first bite. It’s got a kick. It’s got some cream. It’s got tang. It’s got music. It’s got […]
Queso Turkey Burgers
Summer just got real, yo. Oh! We saw our first firefly last night. And by that I mean I was freaking out in a full-blown breakdown in our back yard watching a giant clumsy bat wobbling around in the deep twilight between two tall oak trees. And then as I finally settled down and calmed […]
Indian Roasted Potato Salad with Swiss Chard
Now this is a salad. But not like salad salad. More like SALAD, BABY. Actually, when I made it, Aaron and I tasted it together and I said, “It’s hearty! Definitely could be a side dish.” But he spoke right at the same time and said, “Whoa! This is definitely more like a salad.” So […]
Bruschetta Chicken Tostadas
I almost want to put these in time-out I love them so much. Time-out IN MY MOUTH. I accidentally typed moth at first. Time-out in my moth. I don’t . . . even want to know what that . . . could be. So this is what’s going on. It’s like Mexitalian sort of. In […]

Unbaaaahaahaalievable. Get it? Like a lamb? Baaah-ing? No? Let’s move on? Nothing to see here? Fiiiine, for bleat’s sake! BURN. I really want you to make this. I don’t ask for much, now do I? Other than wanting you to make every single thing I post. . . . and laughter. . . . […]
Creamy Peanut Chicken with Brown Rice
. . . you . . . I . . . mouth . . . ugh. I wish I could have packed every single one of you inside my mouth when I was eating this and I am not even kidding. You wish I hadn’t just said that and you are not even kidding. But […]
My Granddaddy
I lost my granddaddy yesterday. Even at 91 years old, and having lived an extremely charmed and fulfilling life, there’s still something that aches. Grandparents aren’t supposed to die. Sadly, it was a long time coming, with a failing this and an ailing that. But it was the unexpected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer that took […]
Chicken Quesadillas with a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Hi, my name is Bev and I’m a disclaimer queen. So before we go any further, I gotsta ‘splain something. Did you know that babies cry when they’re hungry? They do. They cry when they’re hungry. They cry very, very loud when they’re hungry. Sounds like Hurricane Infant. Ya know, a simple, “Mother Dear, fairest […]
