An experiment in fall flavor fusion: Punkin’ snaps

An experiment in fall flavor fusion: Punkin’ snaps

Fall is home to two of the very best flavors in the entire universe: pumpkin and ginger. Once the chilly weather hits, few weeks go by when our apartment doesn’t dance in the scent of all that baked-goodness wafting from the kitchen. In fact, the decision of what to bake this time of year is…

For when the moon is blue: Chewy chocolate brownies

For when the moon is blue: Chewy chocolate brownies

I feel about chocolate the same way I feel about hamburgers. Most of the time, most days of the year, I’m perfectly happy to live my life without them. But once in a blue moon — we’re talking every few months or so maybe — when a craving hits, the need absolutely envelops me. I…

The cookie was calling me

August 28, 2012 By Katrina

The cookie was calling me

I am a person who speaks to kitchen appliances. I talk to my dog like she’s my second human child, and the voices I bestow upon inanimate objects are louder than I should probably admit. But last week, a cookie called to me. And when a cookie calls, you answer. Through a rumbling tummy and…

Lemon, for you, I’ll bake

July 26, 2012 By Katrina

Lemon, for you, I’ll bake

It’s summer. It’s hot. My poor little oven groans every time I feel the culinary call. “Again?” it says. “Can’t we just pop in a Christmas movie and snack on a pack of Oreos?” “Oh, little oven,” I reply. “These are the days life lessons are made of. We must put in the effort, even…

Sweet reflections and hopeful cookies

Sweet reflections and hopeful cookies

Life has a funny way of dealing us its highs and lows simultaneously. It’s probably for good reason. Without the lows, we might not appreciate how good we have it. And without the baby smiles and sweet husband’s birthdays, getting through the tough times would feel infinitely more difficult. Seasons come and go, and as…

Meet me at The Nola Bar

April 9, 2012 By Katrina

Meet me at The Nola Bar

A genius entrepreneurial idea came to me while I was getting ready yesterday, and like most of my aha-laden, pat-myself-on-the-back-for-coming-up-with-that-gem schemes, it came steeped in suds and conditioner (all my best ideas come to me in the shower for some reason. Perhaps cleanliness spurs creative thought?). So yes, soap + shower = Katrina’s half-baked business…

Who are you, peanut butter cookie? Who are you?

December 29, 2011 By Katrina

Who are you, peanut butter cookie? Who are you?

I’ve been giving this a lot of thought lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can tell a lot about people by their favorite kind of cookie. There are the chocolate chip-lovers, straight-forward and classic; the snickerdoodle fans, pure and sweet; and the lemon bar enthusiasts, fresh and zingy. I actually ran through…

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

December 19, 2011 By Katrina

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

Christmas countdown week has arrived! Yahoo! Around our house, the week before Christmas is pretty much an ode to flour, sugar and butter galore. Hello, cookies! Yep, it’s a baking extravaganza right up until the man in red arrives. Then that baking extravaganza turns into a gifting, eating and all-around holidaying extravaganza. It really is…

The food blogging conundrum: Saving room for favorites

The food blogging conundrum: Saving room for favorites

Writing a food-filled blog for the past year has turned out to be a pretty fun gig. Not only have I had a chance to sharpen my kitchen skills and experiment with recipes, but Jared and I have also enjoyed our share of yumminess from the ever-changing post subjects. I’ve tried things I never thought…

The happiest cookies you’ll ever make

September 9, 2011 By Katrina

The happiest cookies you’ll ever make

The older I get (it’s all relative, I know), the more I realize how much some of the best things in life are also the simplest. Life gets crazy, plans have to change, but I think there’s comfort in knowing that lifting your spirits or finding your happy place isn’t nearly as overwhelming or unattainable…
