Travel Favorites (with Links!)

Travel Favorites / Bev Cooks

Hey-ohhhhhh! Let’s talk travel staples. I have all these airplane travel links and beach necessities in my IG highlights, but I figured now’s a good time to have a solid home for these products if you need to pop over and peep them before a trip. Pop and peep. We’re starting a band called Pop […]

Pork Chops over Polenta with an Herbed Wine Sauce

Pork Chops over Polenta with an Herbed Wine Sauce / Bev Cooks

It’s fancy! But not. Sort of. Not really. Never mind. I hardly ever make meals like this. A protein, a starch, a veg. It’s so old-school, and I love the idea of it. I just never make it happen. UNTIL TODAY DUH DUH DUUUUUH. We’re making something delicious. It’s a wine sauce over seared pork […]

sunset / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrurdurdurdaydaydeededoodoo. I don’t even know how to talk about this week. I don’t have words. To begin the week with a horrific tragedy that will haunt me every single day as I kiss the kids’ little foreheads as they walk to the side school door. I can’t talk about it. That’s not something I can […]

Green Coconut Curry Noodle Soup with Mushrooms / Bev Cooks

Slurp fest! (<—just love it) I’ll say it now, this is problematically delicious. And completely vegetarian if you don’t count the chicken stock! If you do count the chicken stock, swap it out, man. We’re having glass noodles (that’s what I call them), sliced mushrooms, a diced green bell, loads of green curry paste and […]
