FRRRRRRRRelelelelelele. You guys I really want to be on a hidden camera show. I really really do. But this is the twist, I hate pranks! Rather, I hate being pranked. CERTAIN types of pranks. For instance, don’t startle me. There’s nothing worse in the world than being startled and if you startle me I’ll will […]

Roasted Chickpea Salad

Roasted Chickpea Salad / Bev Cooks

Another summer side dish! In the series. The Summer Side Dish Series. Ya know? Ya know. Also, these chickpeas are roasted. Not like, aggressively. Just enough to give it a lil’ crrrrrrrnch. Just like that. No vowels. It also has cucumbers (more crunch!), tomatoes, red onion (crunch crunch!) and some vibrant herbs that will send […]

backyard prettiness / bev cooks

FFFFFFrrrrrrrrrrrrar-dar. Everyone LOVES to talk about when their kids go back to school. Or when they don’t. Or when they get out. Or when they don’t. Have you noticed this? And listen, I’m not complaining, judging, or giving anyone a (well, maybe) hard time. It just cracks me up. Because I can guarantee you, without […]

Cheesy Tomato and Crab Biscuit Cups

Cheesy Tomato and Crab Biscuit Cups / Bev Cooks

More tomato biscuits! But this time they’re not scones. They’re cups. Cuppies. Cups. We’ll say cups. And they have crab in them. Imitation! Look, your reaction to the lobster lettuce cups made it clear to me that we all seem to be on this side of snooty booty camp, so we’re having some more, man. […]

Broccoli and Bacon Salad

Bacon and Broccoli Salad / Bev Cooks

This salad sounds like an oxymoron. Right?? Ha! Never mind. It’s a classic. It really is. The only thing I didn’t a little differently was to amp up my creamy dressing a bit. A ton of lemon juice + poppy seeds + Greek yogurt. I feel like you’re really going to be into this. Don’t […]

No-Churn Peach Ice Cream

No-Churn Peach Ice Cream / Bev Cooks

We all scream? We do indeed. And it’s no-churn which means this takes less than zero effort. Wahoo! (<–I never do that. Felt weird.) Remember back in 2018 when I made this No-Churn Rocky Road Ice Cream? Same thing, but with peaches. This one’s easier too, so get jazzed. La-heeeeet us peepeth. All (I think […]
