Whew! Last week was an absolute whirlwind at Casa Jared and Katrina. Between Jared’s birthday, the move out of our apartment and a puppy surgery for poor little Ella all in a six-day spread (yes, we know we must be bonkers), we’re just now starting to catch our breath. Luckily we (along with all of…
Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.
Jared took this photo of our peach torte before we each enjoyed a slightly larger than generous piece yesterday. After seeing the photo for the first time, I told him I think it looks like it came straight off the menu at Perkins, to which he said he wasn’t sure if that was a compliment…
Lantern DIY: Let there be light!
I joined a Pinterest a little more than a month ago and have been slowly falling in love with it ever since. Does anyone else use the site? Seriously, it’s crazy nifty and can easily fill hours and hours of your time with great ideas and tons o’ eye candy. I’ve started a few boards,…
A belated bit of British business: Blueberry scones
The night before the Royal Wedding rolled around at the end of last month, I went to bed with good intentions of a morning mixed with dress watching and scone making. But truth be told, 4 a.m. is early, and when the alarm (a.k.a. my little sister) woke me up for the big event, it…
Magic in the guesswork: Grandpa’s potato salad
When it comes to cooking, I’m pretty by-the-book. I like to follow recipes (at least the first time around). I like specific measurements and planned ingredients. I like to know what I’m getting into. If I come by this genetically, it doesn’t come from my mom. She’s much more of an in-the-moment kind of cook,…
Cinco de Mayo? No problema!
I think every family has a handful of recipes that are aptly dubbed “weeknight meals.” They’re the dishes that can be thrown together in no time flat and magically satisfy everyone sitting at the table. Without fail, they appear on the menu at least every other week because they’re just that easy and just that…
Life lessons in the grocery aisle: How to cut a pineapple
Last summer, Jared and I were browsing through the grocery store when we came across a gigantic bin filled with pineapples. Now when it’s a million degrees outside (OK, more like 85, but seriously, that’s melty hot) and you don’t even want to think about turning on the stove, nothing sounds better than cool, fresh…
Because everyone loves a shindig: Wedding shower fun
Last weekend, my mom and I put together a bridal shower for Michelle, my best friend from high school who’s getting married this July. Woo hoo! Michelle and I have been friends since we were 12 years old, which, for two military kids who were used to moving around every three years, pretty much feels…
You’re never too old for mac and cheese
Comfort foods are comfort foods for a reason. They warm you up, fill you up and make you all sorts of happy at the same time. With the weather getting warmer and the days getting busier, we haven’t been doing a lot of comfort-food making lately, but every once in a while, the tummy wants…
Blueberry muffins go strawberry
I’m slowly but surely gearing myself up for a little recipe invention of my own, but until I find the nerve, I’ve been doing a bit of recipe tweaking to get myself in the experimental spirit. Everyone in my family was such a fan of Jordan Marsh’s blueberry muffins that I made a few weeks…
