Toasted Croissants with Strawberries and Mascarpone

Toasted Croissants with Strawberries and Mascarpone / Bev Cooks

How about a brunch idea?! Or a Saturday idea. Or a now idea? We’re honestly slicing, toasting, whisking, spreading, drizzling, and garnishing. That’s it. Isn’t it wonderful? And look, if you want to make the croissants yourself, that’s completely fine, ya overachiever. But it’s summer and I’m gonna breeze through these next three months the […]

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones / Bev Cooks

We’re making more scones today! (<–exclamation point absolutely necessary) But let’s go with loads of lemon and poppy seeds this time. We’ve made cheddar scones. We’ve made gruyere and sausage scones. We’ve even made a caprese version. All completely different personalities and irrational obsession worthy. I knew you were my people. Let us peepeth. Your […]

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives

Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives / Bev Cooks

Back with another side dish! Dip-style. And this one is an under-five minute no brainer. Zero cooking. Only spooning and snipping and drizzling and sprinkling. Also, don’t tell anyone but it’s a copy cat of my beloved French Market’s famous ricotta dip. Only theirs is fresh ricotta (which you can totally do!), and hand dipped, […]

And it’s vegetarian! I’m sure you picked up on that. You’d never believe it if I told you, but I’m telling you anyway – my kids love mushrooms. Like, they LOVE mushrooms. I gotta be honest, I didn’t see that one coming. Aren’t mushrooms the gateway flavor to say, a 17 year old’s palate? Yes, […]

Angel Hair Pasta with Bacon, Mushrooms and Leeks / Bev Cooks

I almost typed angle hair pasta. And by almost I mean I typed angle hair pasta. So hark it, another under-ten-ingredient recipe for your face and mouth! Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it lacks. Because see that lemon? Secret weapon. Which I know you know, but I just feel like talking, you know? Let’s […]

Lemon Fennel Orecchiette

Lemon Fennel Orecchiette / Bev Cooks

You’re like, GRODY FENNEL? Come on, dost thou not trust moi? (said like Diane Chambers.) Roasting fennel is one of those secret loop holes of life. It’s sweet. But it’s savory. It’s tender. Yet it’s crunchy. And it works stunningly with loads of lemon, piles of parsley, oodles of orecchiette and ample alliteration. Also, tell […]

Creamy Shrimp Gnocchi with Spinach

Creamy Shrimp Gnocchi with Spinach / Bev Cooks

Creamy and dreamy. Are you seeing this? I have 150 pages of left of The Great Alone and every time I make a food, eat a food, look at a food I think, “The Allbrights really would have liked this. Well, Cora and Leni would. ERNT can eat his own toenails.” What was I saying? […]
