Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula / Bev Cooks

This gets real. This gets very real. Next time you see thick cubed ham in a vacuum-packed thingy, get it. It’s right next to the Canadian bacon. Because we’re about to make the hardiest risotto ya ever did know. But also we’re sliding in velvety arugula so it’s basically vegan! Just kidding. Don’t come at […]

Another summer side dish! In the series. The Summer Side Dish Series. Ya know? Ya know. Also, these chickpeas are roasted. Not like, aggressively. Just enough to give it a lil’ crrrrrrrnch.

Wine-Braised Sea Bass with Tomatoes and Squash / Bev Cooks

She fancy. (not) But it looks and sounds fancy, so we’re going with it! Also, it’s painfully simple. WEEKNIGHT simple. Less-than-30 simple. Have I convinced you yet? Maybe if I show you a photo of me picking cherry tomatoes out of our garden. Will that do it? Let’s see. Hold on. Here it is. Eh? […]
