It’s hard to see with a naked eye, but there are in fact lentils in there, too! They pulled a Titanic for the photo, though. This soup is one of those simple, glorious umami-ish pleasures in life. Every ingredient is already such a class act that it doesn’t really need too much in the end. […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRReeweedeeseelee. You do realize that the only photos I’ll be able to share with you over the next 126 weeks are nature photos? And maybe the rando shoe photo here and there. And a kid-on-a-bike or a in-a-blow-up-backyard-pool photo sprinkled in. Maybe my morning coffee on the outside patio table with a plant or a […]
Chocolate Chip Ricotta Loaf
I baked! With a cheese! Which is super popular apparently. And holy loafers I’m a changed woman. Because you know I’m not a baker. I don’t bake. I have one bread that I make like a maniac, but outside of that I’m a baby mouse lost in a chimney. (<–it’s a thing.) But there was […]
Chipotle Pimento Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
I MEAN. . . I saw this headline the other morning in my daily New York Times newsletter that said “Anything for Dinner is OK.” And out loud, verbally to no one I said, “DUDE I HEAR THAT.” Matter of fact, right at this moment I’m eating leftover cornbread from a few nights ago with […]
My Go-To Steak Salad
Salad on a Sunday! Sunday Salads, Sister! I’m still working on the name. I’ve been debating on whether or not to post this salad (for about three weeks now), because everyone’s fridge situation is vastly different. So much baking these days. So many pantry-focused dinners. Lots of slow cooker. SO MUCH PORRIDGE, you guys. Buuuuuuut […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRR ew ra ho ba. (<—no idea.) I’ve been saying “crud” a lot lately. CRUD. Like when a coupon expires or when you run out of Metamucil. “Well crud!” Actually, it started a good bit before Corona. Back in February. Who says crud, though? I mean, my mom says crud. She says dern, too. “Well […]
Monthly Mixtape: I’m Gonna Need You Six Feet Away, Okay?
Helloooo, April! Also, how was March six and a half months long? This mix, oh man. Once I wrapped my head around it, crafting it was oddly fun to make. Because at first I was thinking, worldly songs from around the world because of the world and all the pain in the world. And then […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty, The One, and The Nightingale
BEWKS, Y’ALL. (<–I’ve already made you insane.) Welcome to another official book club blog post! It’s been a minute. Things look a little, um, different since my last book post. Well, I figured that instead of food, this might be a nice distraction amidst such a jittery time. Unless you’re reading The Nightingale then it’s […]
Buffalo Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Kale
And it’s vegetarian(!), for those rationing out their meats like it’s World War 2. I had my groceries delivered yesterday for the VERY FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, and I kind of loved it. Didn’t have to leave. Stayed home and safe. Touched no one. Wiped every single thing down like that Santa doctor man in […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrroodoo. WEEK TWO. We’ve been home for two weeks. (sans two grocery store runs dressed in hazmat suits.) And you know, I think I’m starting to adjust. Everywhere I look lately I read the words “new normal” – and that’s just it. It’s a new normal, and in that there’s this odd sense of peace […]
