Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriday! (<–didn’t see that coming, eh?) Okay, I’m surprised at the amount of people in my stories who don’t know what a Boo Bag is! Is this a regional thing? A midwest thing? There were a few messages from the New England area asking what the heck a boo bag is….what!! It’s just a bag […] The post Friday Flotsam appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
We’re talking about six ingredients here so I feeeeeeel like you’ll diggeth. Polenta is often overlooked, and I think that is a life catastrophe. It’s creamy, it’s comforting, it’s simple to make and screaaaaams home. Plus the bag lasts forever. You only need one cup at a time to make a few heaping servings. (I […] The post Polish Sausage with Creamy Polenta appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsamflot! Do you guys want to know what kind of mini stroke my brain had this week? I’m almost embarrassed to tell you. Almost. I was skimming some early-bird Christmas list on some site, read the word “wristlet” and was like, what? Wristlet? What is that? You mean bracelet? Then the photo a few lines […] The post Friday Flotsam appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
One-pan-dinner alert! (Also it has spinach in it so it’s basically a salad. Don’t tell anyone I said that.) This right here? It’s what these autumn nights are made for. Comforting, flavorful, creamy, decadent without feeling like a total gut bomb. And you saw the thing about it being in one skillet, right? Right. We’ll […]| Bev Cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-special edition coming to you today! Life of a Showgirl Edition. Are we even ready for it? I need your initial thoughts on the album. The vibes. The messages. The sounds. The production. The lyrics. I have to be honest, it’s not really what I expected. And I’m so glad! Hahahah. Don’t get me wrong, […] The post Friday Flotsam appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
This one thing I know: we need NOTHING but jazz today. This month. This whole season. (obviously outside of Life of a Showgirl, natch.) Today’s mixtape is already one of my most favorites. It’s almost an hour and a half of fantastic jazz. All instrumental, all mood boosting, all vibes that give Nancy Meyers kitchens […] The post Monthly Mixtape: I feel like I’m cooking in a Nancy Meyers Kitchen appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
Look at her posting dessert! (or breakfast?) Either way, this is keeping the doctor away and we’re all about it. It’s simple, it’s comforting, it stunningly delicious and you need to wrap the rest of your September around it. As in today. We have an apple tree out front. Aaron planted it right after we […]| Bev Cooks
Frrrrrrrrrrrrmastolf yadrif! You will NEVER guess what we got. Never. Never! An ice maker. For our fridge. Wait why are you making that face right now? I suppose the ice maker was already in the fridge, but when I frantically bought the new appliance last December in a stress rage, I thought, “We’ll get the […] The post Friday Flotsam appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
Another Air Fryer recipe! This is who I am now. Who knew chicken thighs could be so glorious in an air fryer? (besides every single one of you.) This is the thing, I needed honey mustard. I needed char. I needed next to no mess. Enter, this bad boy. (<–sorry I said it like that.) […] The post Air Fryer Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs appeared first on Bev Cooks.| Bev Cooks
Stupid simple dinner alert! (did that wake you up?) Um, the only sauce here is milk. And lactose free, at that! (you know who I live with, right?) This is one of those weeknight dinners that’s so easy and so comforting and has all the variables to make you sob. Pasta. Sausage. End-of-summer tomatoes. A […]| Bev Cooks
A new recipe! ‘Bout time, right? This is beautifully simple. Like, you will be embarrassed. Comes together in a few minutes, and the flavors are rich, comforting and awakening. Plus it has garlic and ginger in it so it’s basically medicine. Don’t quote me on that. All you need is some ground pork or beef, […]| Bev Cooks
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrey! der! duh! dey! Ya know what I’ve really been into lately? Let me preface this by saying you’ve all already been into this for years and years. I’m just (fashionably?) late to the party. This is what I’m loving: fun podcasts. Like guest-based podcasts. Just two-four people chatting and gabbing and dishing and spilling […]| Bev Cooks
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-I can see us lost in the memory, August slipped away ….! The other day I was texting with a friend about weekend plans, and she said to me, “We have company coming over on Saturday night.” and I was immediately 12 years old listening to my parents talk about “company visiting.” Company! The word […]| Bev Cooks

How about four ingredients, whaaaaaaat! Total obsession. This lil’ viral recipe I’ve been seeing everywhere. An Asian salad kit plus frozen potstickers plus a few scallions and chili crisp and you’re done. Dinner made itself. Half a finger was lifted. If that. But the kicker for me was roasting the potstickers. I’ve never been known […]| Bev Cooks
Is it dessert or breakfast? Or both? Whatever you choose to call it, it’s your business. Let’s eat cake! You in? Peepeth is underway. I ended up using only one lemon, but I’m still a good person. We’re putting yogurt in it which will add this smooth, tangy element to it, and girl, it’s pretty […]| Bev Cooks
