FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRalloweeeeeeeen! Let’s start with the obvious. What’s your favorite, F A V O R I T E Halloween candy? Look, this is permission for you to get ultra trashy with it. Because there is no “good” Halloween candy. Yet, we all know there’s definitely the “good” Halloween candy. Tell me what that is for you. […]

Cheddar Scones

Cheddar Scones / Bev Cooks

Scones! As in, actual scones. I made cheddar scones! Why, you ask? Because I read the words “they got engaged over cheddar scones” in a book and immediately rerouted my life to include cheddar scones. It only made sense. Way back when, waaaaaay back when, when it was way back when (just kidding), I took […]

Crunchy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos

Crunchy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos / Bev Cooks

Taco Tuesday I DID NOT EVEN PLAN THAT. These are super fun, too. A little crunchy, a little buttermilky, a bit creamy, a little zesty, a lot delicious. You in? Let us peepeth. So it’s fairly simple. There’s nothing too over-the-top laborious, unless you count our flash fry situation in a bit. Thing is, this […]

Sage and Ricotta Puff Pastries

Sage and Ricotta Puff Pastry / Bev Cooks

And the ricotta is cracked! Like, for Halloween. I planned that. I planned the . . . cracking. I knew that would happen. No, I did. But aren’t they cute? Cracking aside, you’re going to obsess over the flavor because I don’t know if you heard, but we put lemon in that ricotta and it’s […]

Chicken, Kale and Pinto Bean Soup

Chicken, Kale and Pinto Bean Soup / Bev Cooks

Things are getting a bit brothy over here, you guys. This soup, OH this soup. It’s classic, ya know. A bit of protein, a bit of wilted curly greens, a few beans for guts, and loads of lemon to wake it up. Just how we like it. It’s mega simple, if you’re looking for something […]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFare you ever nervous how I’ll end this? POLL: What do we think about Pajama Day at school? Okay, as I pose this question, you must know – I don’t care one way or the other. The kids love it (for the most part), they think it’s funny (for the most part), and it makes […]
