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! Which, when I say “Oregon summer home,” I realize that it sounds like I’m all Midge Maisel with one hand swooping up into the air as I clutch a little […]

Creamy Orecchiette Turkey Bolognese

Creamy Orecchiette Turkey Bolognese / Bev Cooks

Or your new lover. Whatever. I know what you’re thinking. TURKEY? Why turkey? It’s so blah. So lifeless! Why WOULD YOU FORCE THIS ON HUMANITY??? And I know this is what you’re thinking because when I posted a teaser for this in my IG Stories, a number of you said those exact words. Minus the […]

FAHRAHDAYAYOLO. Who else here thinks, “La! A note to follow so” is a little bit of a cop out? I mean, come on. Up until that point we have a female deer, a drop of golden sun, a name I call myself, a long long way to run, a needle pulling thread, and then – […]

Kale Salad with Roasted Sardines and White Beans

Kale Salad with Roasted Sardines and Beans / Bev Cooks

Aaaaand all of my followers just abandoned me forever. Actually, I’d be willing to put down TWO ENTIRE WASHINGTONS and bet there are more sardine lovers out there than we think. Eh? Are there? Hello? 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 . . . . […]

Broccoli, Cheese and Rice Casserole

Broccoli, Cheese and Rice Casserole / Bev Cooks

So I kept it classic! Sort of. A little bit. With a smidge of embellishments. But nothing weird. Maybe. Actually, I feel the need to tell you straight up immediately this second that there IS a can of condensed soup in this. Don’t delete me from your life! I couldn’t help it. When I read […]

Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup

Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup / Bev Cooks

SO. OKAY. We’ve had no power for four days. Are you sick of me talking about it yet? 🙂 I’ll stop. We can talk about this soup. It’s a soup that only those with electricity can make. Which I don’t right now. I don’t have electricity. Just in case you didn’t know. I’m at a […]
