Call it a blueberry morning

February 22, 2012 By Katrina

Call it a blueberry morning

Is it just me, or do Saturday mornings get sweeter the older you get? Sure, when you’re a little kid they’re amazing because you get to laze around in your jammies all morning, watch hours of cartoons and eat cereal on the floor of the living room, but once you reach adulthood, I think you…

And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones

And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones

We’ve all heard the old adage: A baby changes everything. Three weeks into this parenting thing, and I can indeed confirm that our tiny bundle has made a mountain-sized impact on life as we knew it. Although the Bean’s birth hasn’t literally changed everything — there’s still work to do, school to attend, holidays to…

Do you like green, eggs and ham?

November 4, 2011 By Katrina

Do you like green, eggs and ham?

Ever since I was a little kid, every time I thought about Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham, which I still do, on occasion, for one reason or another, I always identified with the peppy, persistent, doesn’t-take-no-for-an-answer Sam I Am. Sam I Am was full of energy, full of questions and full of ideas. He…

The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles

The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles

It seems I can’t say enough about the merits of an A+ kind of breakfast (OK, I probably can — and have — said enough about my love of breakfast foods, but surely someone else out there shares my love of starchy AM goodness). I think I could eat breakfast for every meal of the…

Once upon a time, three apples found their destiny

Once upon a time, three apples found their destiny

Earlier this week, three forgotten apples sat quietly at the bottom of our refrigerator. The produce drawer is a lonely place to be, I suspect, especially when you’re the last guys left until the next trip to the grocery store. Actually, I’ve always been rather hesitant about using the refrigerator drawers just because of the…

Hi, old friend: Pumpkin scones

Hi, old friend: Pumpkin scones

I know I’ve spent a good many hours and a good many words raving about the amazing food and flavor that is pumpkin, but please bear with me. I’m going to do it again. Pumpkin and I just can’t get enough of each other. I’m convinced that certain flavors carry with them innate powers. Some…

Watch out, Pillsbury. I’m going old school.

June 7, 2011 By Katrina

Watch out, Pillsbury. I’m going old school.

In the wonderful world of pastries, I have my longtime loves and forever foes. There’s the donut, in all its deep-fried, glaze-covered glory, that’s been on my no-thank-you list since I was about 10 years old. I realize most people think this is a crazy bananas food to dislike, but even the smell of donuts…

A belated bit of British business: Blueberry scones

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…

Project NYT: Old South Buttermilk Biscuits

Project NYT: Old South Buttermilk Biscuits

I don’t know exactly why, but I’m continually amazed when something that I cook or bake turns out to resemble a prepackaged grocery store product that I used to eat or buy. I realize that one of the best things about going the homemade route in the kitchen is that you’re avoiding all the prepackaged…

Ina, which came first: the chicken or the egg?

March 25, 2011 By Katrina

Ina, which came first: the chicken or the egg?

A few months ago, I embarked upon my first whole-chicken preparation experience. It was quite the ordeal, though after much work and a few gross-out moments, the results were worthy of a heartfelt, “Woo hoo!” This was largely due to the sage advice I received via FoodNetwork.com from my pal (I wish) Ina Garten, the…
