It’s Italian, too, so I’m pretty sure that makes me cool. I think. Look at this thing! LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL RANGE, YOU GUYS. I still can’t believe I get to look (stare) at it and touch (caress) it and cook (faint) on it and sing (loudly) to it and pet it (through sobs) and […]
Caprese Biscuit Tarts
Well aren’t these little guys cute? Is it a brunch item? Sure! An after-camp snack? Why not! An excuse to use one more exclamation point above the fold? Going for it! And the thing about these, besides the fact that the adorbs factor will force you to pet them and call them Frank, they’re super […]
Gnocchi with Fresh Tomato Sauce
Okay THIS is how we summer. And I need you to hark it. We all have those fresh tomato sauces we run to during the summer months. And by run I mean a full-on-foaming-at-the-mouth sprint. There’s nothing better! Nothing in the whole entire world. (besides taking a colossally plump farmer’s market tomato, slicing it and […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Beach Read, The Push, and Good Company
Books! And it’s like, prime time reading season. What is it about summer that has people all psychotically shoving paperbacks and e-readers and hardcovers and tablets in their faces? It’s the best. Alright, so these three chosen books are pretty different from each other. One is an easy breezy read, one is D A R […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR eyerayday! We went to the fair and you’re getting my leftover photos. Ha! You know how IG will only let you post 10 photos in a carousel? Right, these aren’t them. They’re the leftovers. The flotsam! I see what I did there. OKAY, can we talk about spray tans? I thiiiiink I’d like to […]
Coconut Salmon Pouches with Pineapple and Corn
Pouch food! We need to make our lives about it. And I’ll tell you why. Besides the fact that pouches just make food fun. They do. This shan’t be argued. Because when you unfold a pouch to welcome the gentle aromatic steam, it’s like this little surprise of like, “Oh yeah, I just put all […]
Farro Salad with Cucumbers, Shallots and Mint
Summer salad city right here! But with guts. This originally started out in my head as a barley salad. Not a barely salad, but a barley salad. But the store barely had barley, so I found farro, and what followed was ferociously fabulous! I can chill. This though. What I imagine for your life is […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRumidydumday! I (finally) watched the Friends Reunion special last night and I LOVED IT. LOOOOOOOOVED IT. l.o.v.e.d.i.t. It was just lovely. I watched it over at my friends’ Seth and Ashlee’s house because they have HBO Max and we don’t. It’s like that friend in the late ’80s who had MTV and your parents didn’t […]
Summer Vegetable Bake
But it’s crunchy! A crunchy summer vegetable bake. And it’s great. This is the thing, it’s not really a gratin. Once I put the zucch and the squash next to the tomatoes, they were such different sizes that instead of having a stroke, I decided we’d slice them into sticks this time. Sticks, I tell […]
Monthly Mixtape: Mood River and Moon Sliver
June! And it’s like, chilly. I know it’s all about to dramatically change, but it’s the coldest start to summer! Ever! You, too? So weird, right? Right. I know. So weird. This mixtape! Look, it’s not exactly “summery.” I have summery mixtapes on my site, for sure. Like this one. Or this one. Ooooo this […]
