Mediterranean Bean Salad

Mediterranean Bean Salad / Bev Cooks

Let’s eat some beans! (my eight year olds would insert a toot emoji, if there was such a thing.) Spring is in ten days. Not that we’d even know it with the five-to-seven inches of snow falling outside my window at this very moment. But let’s say it together just to feel something inside our […]

FRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr. I have a sourdough starter! My friend Anna gave me a sourdough starter. And now I get WHAT the heck it is. It’s a bubble sludge. A pre-dough bubble sludge. Not quite dough, not quite loogie. Somewhere in between. And today I have to “feed” it, you guys. I think I might just give […]

Fridaaaaaayyyyaaaaaah! (<–see I can keep it mild.) Can we just talk about the bedpan situation around the grandparents’ bed in Willy Wonka real quick? I know it’s been at the top of your to-dissect list. First of all, four elderly grandparents. In a full-size bed. Together. CONSTANTLY. And apparently none of them can walk? At […]

The one thing missing from this photo because I’m a ding-dong is a can of diced tomatoes. Get one! And these […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRlotdaysomefri! Or something like that. I finally made a reel! (I felt your collective groan.) Technically, I made two reels. One that is just horrible, and one slightly more tolerable. But they’re fun! You guys I have resisted for SO LONG. This grumpy grandma did not want to get with the times. Well, in a […]

Creamy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs with Egg Noodles

Creamy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs with Egg Noodles / Bev Cooks

Let’s make meatballs! But with chicken. And truck loads of fresh parmesan. And our blistered soul. I love this recipe so much because it’s nothing but comfort. The meatballs are creamy in their own way because of the milk and cheese and rustic breadcrumbs. Flecked with herbs and enhanced with garlic, it’s illegally delish. And […]
