sunflowers / bev cooks

Faaaarrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyddddddaaaaaaai. I bought readers! READERS. Glasses. Like Meryl Streep. I finally bought some. Listen, I’m not going to bore you with how I lost a favorite pair of Warby Parkers two years ago at a winter basketball practice, and am criminally overdue for an eye exam and am in desperate need of a new pair […]

Apple, Kale and Turkey Panzanella Salad

Apple, Kale and Turkey Panzanella Salad / Bev Cooks

I’m not sure who came up with BREAD salad but I’d like to shake their hand and cry into their shoulder for an entire afternoon. Because this one is out of control. We have thinly sliced honeycrisp apples, perfectly toasted seasoned baguette, chopped kale, plenty of diced parmesan cheese and chopped deli turkey because hi, […]

Salmon Piccata Bowls

Salmon Piccata Bowls / Bev Cooks

Salmon bowls! But piccata style, baby. We’re huge bowl fans around here (read: completely obsessed), so I came up with a fun way to have piccata flavors but with rice! And salmon! And one more explanation point just for the hay of it! It’s fairly simple, easy enough for a school night, but also packs […]

good cheeses / bev cooks

Frrrrrreedeelooloolaahlaah! UM. Hold on. Have any of you ever heard of this word? Pseudocyesis. (100% had to google, copy and paste.) It’s also known as phantom pregnancy. Which, okay, I can wrap my head around. But DID YOU KNOW that with this pseudocyesis syndrome, the belly actually grows? It grows like a baby is in […]

Chickpea Salad with Cucumbers and Red Onion

Chickpea Salad with Cucumbers and Red Onion / Bev Cooks

We can obsess over a quick protein salad, can’t we? We can. And this one is speedy, beany, herby and crunchy. What’s not to love. I didn’t roast these chickpeas, but get on with that if it fuels you. I looooove roasted chickpeas to freaking death, but my impatience won this time. Jars open, beans […]

fuzzy vines / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have the CRAZIEST story for you. And it’s disgusting and mysterious and gross and weird and barfy. Are you ready for it? (DUNNNN DUNNNN DUNNNN….)

Rosemary Chicken and White Beans

Rosemary Chicken and White Beans / Bev Cooks

Another weeknight wonder, coming full-steam at ya! I have a thing for chicken. Chicken thighs. And rosemary. Fresh. And lemon. Lots of it. And creamy cannellini beans. I’ll take it all. So let’s whip up an incriminatingly simple weeknight dish that will have you in the fetal position. But I’m not dramatic about it or […]

Monthly Mixtape: Repeat time!

Processed with VSCO with a4 preset

Septembah! Iloveitiloveitiloveit. But listen, we’ve been out of town and I’m staring at two overgrown yards and gnarly weeds and wimpy plants and I gotta get out there. Time to manicure! So we’re listening to last September’s mixtape, which you loved. So I feel like we’re still in that jazzy mood (when are we not, […]

tinned fish / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrr uh duh flu tu su um. I’ve never seen Practical Magic. Truth! Never seen it. And probably just ruined your entire morning now that you know this. This is the thing – my IG algorithm is heavy heavy on the vintage fall glimpses right now. New York City, tiny New England towns, backed by […]
