Octobeeeeeeer! Maybe my favorite month of year. Definitely my favorite month of the year. For sure my favorite month of the year. This tree is in my front yard, can you believe that? Just thought I’d tell you. So this playlist! (I’m keeping this post short today because I feel like you might need to […]
Banana Pumpkin Pancakes
This is about as sorority girl as I get, you guys. We’re not pairing it with a pumpkin spice latte DO NOT DELETE ME FROM YOUR LIFE. But in pancakes it’s fine, right? Also it’s mainly bananas. Banana pancakes with a barely-there kiss of the tiniest hint of a minuscule threat of pumpkin. But it’s […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRerder. You guys I GOT STUNG BY A BEE. But, for the very first time in my entire life. As in, I have managed to escape any and all stings for 44 years of human living on this planet earth. With bugs on it. (minus mosquitoes.) I was running (said like Forest) two mornings ago […]
Spiced Pork with Coconut Noodles
I already can’t wait for your new life. Because wipe your glasses and look again. YES, girl. It’s silky coconut noodles topped with spiced (like, Chinese 5-spice. get on board.) pork, sautéed veggies and buckets of fresh crunchy things on top. Yuh huh. Yeppers. (Aaron h a t e s the word peppers. I say […]
Crunchy Shrimp and Cabbage Tostadas
Happy first day of faaaaaall! We’re making tostadas. Just get into it. What’s going to have you rejoicing over these pups (pups?) is that a) they’re the most easily adaptable pull-together meal of all time on a weeknight. And b) they taste stupid delish no matter what you do to them. Just peep this. Shortcut […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRR a h d a h! Okay be honest, who here buys those trash bucket grocery store romance novels? You know, the ones where the ladies are ALWAYS in some velvet Victorian dress draping dramatically off her shoulders revealing lacy cleavage as she leans into shirtless Fabio clones holding a spear or boat rope? And […]
Linguine with Roasted Tomatoes and Asparagus
Are you seeing that? Are you feeling that? You can’t not with roasted tomatoes. And onions! Those are roasted, too. I swear, roasted tomatoes don’t even have to be in season for this meal to shiiiiiine like the top of the Chrysler building. (<–name that movie.) And then we’re adding asparagus and lil’ mozzarella balls […]
Cardamom and Green Apple Puff Pastries
So I have a story. (also, dessert, yay!) The above is what happens when someone who’s very much not a baker decides she wants to take a stab at cardamom rolls because the book she was reading (The Scent Keeper, o m g) had a character obsessively making them for guests at her summer fishing […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrimay! yay. say. ray. jay. day. I’ve started sleeping in a hat. You can rub your eyes, spray your glasses and squint to sea, but those are the actual words you read. It’s not like a top hat, you guys. Or a fedora or a bucket hat or a visor or my leopard print beret. […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: 28 Summers, The Lies That Bind and The Guest List
It’s book daaaaay! (I know you’ve been on the edge of your face for this.) All three of these are recent reads. Within the last few weeks/months. This year. This summer. This era. This season. This now. They’re books that have crawled into my psyche and found a cozy hibernating mental organic cotton pouf in […]
