Spring eruption, in ya face! There are four hundred billion versions of this out there. And yes, we need them all. It’s what spring is made of. These simple ingredients, all married up and in your mouth. Let us peepeth? Yerp. I like pappardelle in this situation, because it’s drama. We take something as delicate […]

Monthly Mixtape: WAIT, IS THAT A SPROUT UNDER THAT SNOW.
March! What a teasin’ snoot. I have to remind myself every single year, BEV DO NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS, YOU’RE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF. Yet every year I get excited about this and fool myself. It’s a sickness. First off – spring is in 15 days. FIFTEEN DAYS. Should we interlock fingers, press our foreheads […]
Monthly Mixtape: Icy Tulip and Drenched Picnic
APRIL. (<—although right now it feels like Decemberrrrwaaaaaaahhhhhh.) But I’m fine. I’ll be fine. It’s fine. This photo ^^ is from our weekend Easter getaway to Fayetteville. It was warm during that very moment. The sun was shining. The blooms were singing in harmony and the flowers were wiggling with jubilation in the warm soil. […]
Spring Chicken and Rice Soup
The soup is spring, not the chicken! Well, it might be a spring chicken. I don’t know. But the season is spring, so the soup is spring. But not the rice. The rice is normal. All-year rice. Never mind. Let’s have some soup! Guess who came up with the idea for this springy soup? My […]
Monthly Mixtape: In Like a Crocus, Out Like a Daffodil
At least I think that’s how the saying goes. HOW IS IT MARCH? I know I say this every month, but – HOW. IS. IT. MARCH. Not that I’m wishing for January again. Hayell naw. I’ve been following the weather forecast on an extra psychotic level lately, and it APPEARS, and I don’t want to […]
Green Spring Breakfast
SPRING IS NEXT WEEK. (sorry to scream.) Do you remember in that one Gilmore Girls episode when Richard’s had a heart issue and he’s in the hospital, and Emily’s running around all distracted about FISH and the HOUSE and her JUMPSUIT and what not? And Lorelai’s all, “Mom, simmer it.” And Emily’s all, “WHAT, FISH […]
Monthly Mixtape: Sprang In Your Thang
19 days until spraaaaaaang! But I’m not excited or anything. Even if it’s been (for us) the MILDEST winter on record (in KC), with two jokes of a snow (here in my town), and temperatures that have mimicked spring (in Kansas City) for nearly a month now (for me in my town), I’m still pretending […]
Spring Soup with Italian Sausage, Rice and Veggies
Feels like a good day to slurp. I could slurp on any given day, though. Any day is good to me. For slurpin’. The soup. Aren’t you so glad we had this talk? Gotta tell ya – this soup is kind of blowing my mind. It has RICE IN IT. Arborio, to be specific. You […]
Super Fresh Spring Salad
I gotsta one more salad fer ya! This one is super fresh, super vegetarian, super pretty and super FRESH. Like the fresh prince of Bel Air. THEY JUST DON’T MAKE TV LIKE THAT ANYMORE. I’m keeping this short because the cabinet guy is here finishing the SUPER FRESH trim on the cabinets. And he’s installing […]
Rustic Spring Pizzettes and a Breakfast Bowl
So we started demo last night. And I HAYELPED. (name that 80s commercial.) Aside from the fact that there are only 8 gaping holes in our walls with tree limbs poking through and birds flying in and out, I think we did a fantastic job! And by “we” I mean “totally not we.” I’m also […]
