fruit / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrruluuuudeeedaaaaadiddledeedooooo! WHEW. Guilty. I mean we knew it. We knew it was coming. But it was SO SATISFYING to watch the woman say the words out loud, and live. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. The micro crinkle of his lips. The slight nod. He knew it, too. But it mainly reminded me when and where I was […]

Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Puff Pastry Pie

Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Puff Pastry Pie / Bev Cooks

I tried to include all the words in the English language, basically. Is it a pot pie? Is it a casserole? Is it in your face t-minus eight hours? (this is where you select C for all of the above.) Thing is, I’ve had a puff pastry sheet in my freezer since Watergate, and have […]

feet and rug / bev cooks

FrrrrrrrrrrrrrI’m baaaack! Whether you like it or not. I have so many Israel stories to share with you, but I’ll save that for later. For NOW I’d like to report that I exercised enormous restraint and didn’t purchase any of the above. I know you wanted me to. I looked for rugs. I looked for […]

Pepperoni and Artichoke Heart Pizza

Pepperoni and Artichoke Heart Pizza / Bev Cooks

I’m about to officially leave the country and head to ISRAEL (!) today, but I feel like you need some pizza first. You need some pizza, right? You really do. Aside from making your own dough, this could easily be slapped under the “dern tootin’ easy” category. You’ll chop up some artichoke hearts, you’ll grate […]

cozy morning / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri! d.a.y. ! I’ve been living a lie. And truly, there’s no better time to come clean about it than now. I’m sure the uproar will be fierce. The disbelief deep. The disappointment everlasting. I don’t know how to even face you with this. I can barely look at myself in the mirror. My own […]

Brothy Beans with Crusty Bread

Brothy Beans with Crusty Bread / Bev Cooks

I don’t know how brothy beans aren’t considered life’s greatest hack, but I’m here to proclaim it here and now. First of all, they go with anything. ANYTHING. Chicken, sausages, steaks. I served mine with bacon and pineapple chicken sausages and there was not a dry eye in the house. Secondly, they take a handful […]

flowers / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrridledeedeeeeee. So, okay. (<–name that movie.) I’m heading out in a little over a week on an ENORMOUS work trip. I’ve talked about this a bit in Stories (obnoxiously teased is more like it), and I’m ready to tell you where I’m going! (only because the flights are booked and it’s officially official.) I’m meeting […]

Monthly Mixtape: Sweaty Swiftie Armpitty

Monthly Mixtape: Sweaty Swiftie Armpitty

Look, it’s probably Armpity, but that looks odd too so we’re just going with it. Also, this photo would for sure fall into the category of “keepin’ it real.” This is 100% my treadmill running view. Hahahahaha! I normally have a box fan hanging in front of me but it fused out the other day […]

Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken Tacos

Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken Tacos / Bev Cooks

Tacos! But let’s do something a little different. And throw-together. (Hey, I listened.) Let me say something upfront, if you don’t want to use the slow cooker for this recipe, absolutely fine. It’s just as easy to brush the (bottled!) peanut sauce over the chicken thighs and give them a hard sear + chop. This […]
