Monthly Mixtape: Snowflakes and Honey

Monthly Mixtape: Snowflakes and Honey

Happy February! …five days in. And don’t look at me like that – this mixtape is the furthest from over-the-top sap. Matter of fact, it’s hardly about love or loving or lovers at all! (minus Gillian’s song My First Lover, which isn’t even romantic, but simply incredible and everyone must store this song somewhere in […]

FrarDEE FRI. (<–do you ever tire of these? didn’t think so.) SO GUESS WHAT! (just jumping right in.) We officially booked our Oregon summer home!

Kale Salad with Roasted Sardines and White Beans

WHERE MY SARDINIES AT. (I promise never to say “sardinies” ever again.) This is the thing. Sardines are a regular […]

Buffalo Chicken Squares

Buffalo Chicken Squares / Bev Cooks

See this is why I can’t watch sports. Mainly because 97% of the time, I have zero idea who’s on first and what’s on second and what match is this and why are they wearing fanny packs on their butts and where can I get one? But mostly, because WHEN I watch, the team loses. […]

Fa! Ri! Fl! Ot! Da! Y! Sa! M! You want to know what I’m sick of? Hotels. Wait! Hear me out on this. Hotels. MASSIVE, posh, too-expensive, froo froo hotels. It’s not that I think they’re BAD. Because they’re definitely not an awful place to be. I’m no animal. It’s just . . . . […]
