Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula

Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula / Bev Cooks

This gets real. This gets very real. Next time you see thick cubed ham in a vacuum-packed thingy, get it. It’s right next to the Canadian bacon. Because we’re about to make the hardiest risotto ya ever did know. But also we’re sliding in velvety arugula so it’s basically vegan! Just kidding. Don’t come at […]

Monthly Mixtape: Wispy Winds and Foamy Rims

Monthly Mixtape: Wispy Winds and Foamy Rims

YES I SAW THE TAYLOR SWIFT TOUR DATES! (sorry to scream) I probably won’t sleep until I’ve successfully secured tickets for me and Nat, but that’s neither hither nor thither.

Friday Flotsam

Flotsam is baaaaaaaaaaaa! – oh, no one noticed? One person did? Well anyway, Flotsam is baaaaaaaaaack! Wide-legged denim. (some of you are like, peace out) I need some DES-PER-ATE help in this arena.

Friday Flotsam

fall trees / bev cooks

Friiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeedeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuhhhhhhh. (<–just going for high-level annoyance right now) So this is the thing: I had a bunch of little ideas pop into my head this week of things to discuss today, but I wrote none of it down. Thinking, “Ohhhh I’ll remember that Friday morning at 5:25am. No problem.” Idiot. I have no idea what […]
