Gah! Sorry I’ve been so MIA. Between my own doctor, the vet and outside deadlines before le bebes arrives, it’s straight up whack-a-doodleville over here. But I’m showing you bacon today, so that makes up for it, right? . . . R . . . right? But first, the deal with my dog: Charlie girl. […]

Cheesy Corn and Jalapeno Dip {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
Have I ever told you about how I can hear the marching band practicing every early fall morning at the high school down the street? And how it reminds me of when I went to high school twent-ahemalsjdfls years ago? Even though I didn’t play in the band? Have I ever told you about that? […]
Strawberry Pastry Bites
O BEAUUUUUTIFUL FOR SPAAAACIOUS SKIES, FOR AMBER WAVES OF GRAAAAAIN. Oh, hey. I made dessert! But it’s a Bev-style dessert, where there’s no crying or sweating involved. It’s nothing like this grilled sponge cake I had to make for a client yesterday and omgomgomg, I was a hot mess. All the folding of egg whites […]
Spicy Bean Dip and My 2-Year Blogibirthery!
Happy Two-Year to meeeeee! Who wants bean dip? Truth is, I nearly forgot about my blogibirthery. I KNOW. I’ve been super distracted lately becauuuuuse there’s this tree in our back yard. This huge top-heavy tree in the back left-hand corner of our yard. And over Memorial Day weekend, when we were out of town, doing […]
Crostini with Peaches, Blue Cheese and Honey (& a Giveaway!)
These. It would be ridiculous for me to attempt to put into human words just how monumentally delicious these crostini are. Just imagine yourself on the kitchen floor, in a puddle of your own drool mixed with a little honey, body limp, mind numb, and a trail of expletives escaping your lips. Got that? NO […]
Grilled Pineapple and Corn Salsa
I don’t know about you, but my fancy is like, way tickled with all these appetizers this week. And we’re not done yet, my sweet pookie bears! (I’m sorry. I’m going through some things. Just . . . let me.) I’m posting something summery and grilly and dipperydoo today to help my heart come to […]
Cajun Shrimp Guacamole (& a Giveaway!)
(to be sung to the tune of Oklahoma! that exclamation point is a part of the song title. i’m not just overly zealous this morning. but also, I am.) Guuuaaaaacamole where the avocado is the staaaaaar. Where the pit comes out, and there’s no doubt That the fleshy mash will take you faaaaar. And when […]
Potato-Crusted Shrimp with a Spicy Dipping Sauce {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
And the appies continue! But this time with . . . well, more shrimp. I like the shrimps. What can I say. But this time they’re potato-crusted! (instead of buffalo-crusted) (why I used parentheses right then I don’t know) (p.s. buffalo-crusting sounds awesome, doesn’t it) (why I’m still thinking about that I don’t know) (that […]
Nutella Brie Bites
This is the kind of food you eat when it’s technically spring yet it WON’T STOP SNOWING. But I’m not bitter or anything. Look at what we get to eat! Let me just set the scene for ya real quick. It was the other day and I was hungry. The end. I’m just kidding. So […]
Beer-Steamed Clams
Doesn’t beer-steaming sound like the most wonderful thing on Earth? (But first, a quick apology at how blurry these photos are. It was pouring rain and my hair was on fire and I think my neurological system was experiencing some malfunctions.) That said, I seriously think I could beer-steam everything ever. Beer-steamed chicken? Why not? […]
