Burrata with Lemon and Olive Oil

Burrata with Lemon and Olive Oil / Bev Cooks

Best-ever appetizer alert! Spoiler: it’s cheese. Yes, burrata is trending and popular and everywhere, but dudes, there’s a reason! It’s duh-lish-ush. If you have yet to indulge in this mild but extraordinarily creamy treat, please, please make it happen. All you seriously do is slice it open down the center and watch the magical soft […]

Frrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiddddddaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! (<–sorry) Well, we’re a week into June and I need to know how you’re all coping. Does school feel like two years ago?

Chicken, Tomato and Rice Bake / Bev Cooks

But like, summer style! (And it’s one pan. You in?) You guys, this is going to skyrocket to heavy rotation as soon as you see how simple it is. The rice goes in dry and perfectly cooks in the oven under a bed of seasoned chicken, chickpeas, spinach and quartered tomatoes. It’s so bright and […]

We have just a hair under 12 weeks of summer looking up my nostrils going, “Now what?” It’s been cool and cloudy and drizzly and while I will be CRAVING this weather come mid July, right now it’s weird. But hey, we lean in! We’re burning […]

plants and pretty / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrar! Dar! Flar! Sar! I really don’t have much for you today. This week, on the contrary, has felt so nice. I’ve kept busy and steady in a rhythm that just works for me. Is my basement dry? Not after the rain we got. Is that okay? We’ll get there. It’s better, but not perfect. […]

Easy Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad

Easy Tuscan Tuna Salad / Bev Cooks

Your spring and summer go-to lunch, right here! Actually, it’s a spinoff of an older recipe of mine from 2012. I felt like it needed a little freshen up! A lil’ tweaking. (not twerking) A video to go with it, ya know? So here it is. The only difference is, instead of black olives, I […]

pretty scene / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Okay, two crazy things. And when I say crazy I mean ONE is crazy and the other just sucks. But we’ll make it. The first thing though, my watch fell off! But listen. You need the story. It’s actually weird. In order to take my watch off (which is on my right wrist), you […]

Frrrrrrrrrr! Flllllllll! (<–that worked better in my head.) Okay first of all, let it be fully known that I despise AI. Loathe it. Can’t stand it. Wish it would burn to the ground. But! Who here gets sucked into those damn AI videos on IG when it’s like, a show that you watched, and they’re […]
