Frrrrrrrrrrrrrah! dah! duh! doh! The other evening I spent an embarrassing amount of time adding photos to all of my contacts in my phone. Have you done that? I feel like I used to have a bunch of photos in my contacts, but I really didn’t. So I went through my camera library and screen […]

Seared Chicken Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

Seared Chicken Tacos with Cabbage Slaw / Bev Cooks

Taco Thursday! (don’t argue) I’m always on a mission to make my tacos as close to Chipotle as I possibly can. Not that these are that, but we’re close. The chicken is VERA close.

Pappardelle with Veggies and Herbs / Bev Cooks

We have pasta, we have vegetables, we have aromatics, we have stock and cheese and garnishes. If I say “we […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhduhluhmuhyuh! (I’m fine, why do you ask?) I think we might be getting a Ferris Wheel. Not at my house, ya boob. But our CITY. I think Kansas City might be getting a Ferris Wheel. And maybe I don’t even need to capitalize Ferris Wheel, but I’m going to anyway. A Ferris Wheel! Isn’t that […]
