Lemon Spaghetti with Peas and Parmesan

Lemon Spaghetti with Peas and Mint / Bev Cooks

This is coming together tonight for you. And I mean it. The key is, don’t overcook that spaghetti. You want it gorgeously toothy. A slight spring in it.

Ham, Mint and Brie Sandwiches

Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

Sandwich night! (also known as Save Me night.) It’s nothing novel, but I love this sandwich.

Maple Braised Pork with Apples and Israeli Couscous

Maple Braised Pork with Apples and Israeli Couscous / Bev Cooks

Look at me, coming at you with something completely different today! We’ll be fine. Sometimes I forget about pork tenderloin. Don’t tell it I said that. It’s just one of those proteins that lives in the back corner drawer of my cerebrum with quinoa and liquid smoke. (does one ever use liquid smoke? I’m still […]
