Lobster Salad Lettuce Cups

Lobster Salad Lettuce Cups / Bev Cooks

You’re either going to think I’m complete trash by the end of this post, or you’ll love meh with your entire blistered soul. We’re not going to talk about how everything costs one million dollars right now. It’s outrageously frustrating. So I say, when the times get stupid, we eat imitation lobster and love every […]

FRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRR ah dah. I’ve decided I’m not into clapping. Clapping my hands. Not into it. Not like, in general, but when a musician puts his/her hands above their hands holding the mic in a dramatic clap, asking the audience to clap along. Oh no. Please don’t.

AS IN, cheesy tomato summer biscuits. Like, look at that cheese. These are going to ruin you so good, so pony up, pigeons. We’re making basic scones, but adding an obscenely vibrant caprese twist that will have your heads falling off. La-heeeeeeet us peepeth. I know it looks like a lot (it might not look […]

Radishes with Pesto Butter

Radishes with Pesto Butter / Bev Cooks

Veeeeeeery simple summer side dish comin’ at ya today. (<–not sure how I felt about “comin’ at ya.”) First of all, if you’ve never just casually snacked on radishes, what is your life? Crunchy, peppery, pungently satisfying. They’re like little mouth bombs of pleasure. AND THEN WE ADD IN PESTO BUTTER. We’re gonna need to […]

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives / Bev Cooks

Back with another side dish! Dip-style. And this one is an under-five minute no brainer. Zero cooking. Only spooning and snipping and drizzling and sprinkling. Also, don’t tell anyone but it’s a copy cat of my beloved French Market’s famous ricotta dip. Only theirs is fresh ricotta (which you can totally do!), and hand dipped, […]

Friday Flotsam / Bev Cooks

FRRRRRRRRRRRRamalamadingdong. I have many things to discuss today, all of which are . . . ahem, of equal importance (you’re like, yeah right), but we HAVE to start with Taylor’s new song. It’s only mandatory. Have you heard it? How many times have you listened so far, besides 400 million? And when do you plan […]
