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 […]
Quick Cook Cheese Risotto with Italian Sausage and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
This is that risotto recipe that will make you not scared of risotto. Oh, just hark this. Why? Because when you’re not in the mood for the slightly laborious feel of making risotto from scratch (which I love at times, but this is brilliant!), DeLallo has a quick-cook cheese risotto in a cute little tapered […]
Monthly Mixtape: Amber Limbs and Moonlit Hymns
Time for tunez! I mean tunes. I mean toons. I mean tunes. Are we okay? I love October so much. To the naked eye, this photo looks like summer in a nutshell, I get it. Bare legs, chlorophyll overload, some pretty blooms tucked to the left. But it’s happening! October and all its brilliant glory […]

FrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRROCTOber! I have to have a colonoscopy. (oh, you needed a warning?) A colonoscopy. A butt hose. I have to do that thing. Why, you ask? Well, it wasn’t the call I’d expected yesterday morning from my doctor after waiting a couple of weeks for the poop-in-the-bucket results. (my mom is having a legit heart […]
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Burritos
Burritos! Because burritos. The thing about these burritos are a few wonders. A) Slow cooker. The leg work is some mild dumping into a container (<–not liking the way that reads) and then some even milder assembling later on. B) Salsa verde! It’s from a jar, so it cuts the time down tremendously. I know […]
Bistro Pizza with Broccoli and Canadian Bacon
It’s pizza! But we’re making it fashion. I’m calling it “bistro” pizza because I had an epic wave of laziness and leaned into the premade dough. And on the refrigerated pizza dough package it said “bistro.” And of course I was like, “I’m listening.” But get what you want! Or make your own dough, if […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRReeleeweeseepee! I have THEE most major announcement of all time. Biggest of my career. Of adulthood. OF MY LIFE. We’re thinking about signing up for the neighborhood fall leaf pickup this year. I know! Can you believe it?! This is HUGE. I’m a product of my father, you see, and not one to pay for […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: In Five Years, Early Morning Riser, and Midnight at the Blackbird Café
Books books boooooks! Back with more books. I tend to do these “official” book club posts every season, have you noticed? No? Like, every three months, ya know. Never noticed? Really? Not at all? Huh. Well, today I’ll be blabbing (some in all caps so just prepare thyself) about three favorites from this year. All […]
Cheese Tortellini Soup with Beef and Spinach
I’m basically giving us the green light to get our slurp on. You good with that? (duh, you are.) Today’s kick-off to soup season is a simple, rustic, delicious doozy. I went to ALDI not long ago, completely salivating over the idea of a beefy soup, but with tortellini in it. Cheese tortellini. Had to […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroop! You know what my problem is? My entire problem, I have it figured it out. Know what it is? (you’re like, “you mean we have to choose?”) This is my problem: I don’t use enough Saran Wrap. I don’t pull enough out of the box the first go around. I never pull enough. Never. […]
