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

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 […]

Tomato Anchovy Pasta

Tomato Anchovy Pasta / Bev Cooks

I originally called this Murder Pasta and I can’t decide if SEO would love it or send me to prison. And hey, listen! Don’t get weird about the anchovies. They are the IT factor of this recipe. If you don’t use them, you’re still a good person. If you cut down on them, you’re still […]

Spiced Salmon and Rice Bowls

Spiced Salmon and Rice Bowls / Bev Cooks

Totally a throw-together meal. And light! Because it’s almost spring and I’m feeeeeling it. If you don’t do enough with salmon and want to start doing more with salmon, consider this your gateway. It’s wildly flavorful and embarrassingly easy to get on the table. (and quick, holy moly) Let us peepeth! The spice paste is […]
