It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

September 4, 2015 By Katrina

It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

I love a good salad, but salad isn’t usually what comes to mind when I think of comfort food. Or super satisfying food. Or I’m-totes-craving-that food. This salad, though? Oh man, guys. This is the stuff. This warm chicken salad with roasted potatoes and chives has everything you’d want in a meal: fresh ingredients, a…

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms                     

The whole Northeast is prepping for a gigantic wallop of a snowstorm, so, naturally, Target was a madhouse yesterday. Think holiday-sized crowds grabbing at end caps filled with water and snack foods (Super Bowl fare works well in blizzards, too, FYI), filling baskets with enough flashlights and peanut butter to last well into next week….

Easy Weeknight Dinners: Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Tacos

Easy Weeknight Dinners: Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Tacos

True confession: Our Christmas tree is still up. Make that trees. As much as I realize the time is nigh (past nigh?), I just can’t let the holidays go. Have you ever seen your house look as pretty as it does when it’s filled with twinkle lights? I know it’s about time I pack those…

Dinner in a pinch, made to impress! Puff pastry with ham & Gruyère

Dinner in a pinch, made to impress! Puff pastry with ham & Gruyère

This time of year is so, so hectic (though we probably always feel like our lives are crazy busy, right?). When I think of an easy fall dinner, I often base its viability on a simple pre-trick-or-treating test. Basically, is it something that could be easily made and quickly served to a family (friends included!)…

Comfort food to calm the chill: Fettuccine with garlic cream sauce and sautéed tomatoes

Comfort food to calm the chill: Fettuccine with garlic cream sauce and sautéed tomatoes

I think it’s safe to say that we’re officially in the thick of a true Boston winter. There’s snow on the ground. Snow on the rooftops. Snow in piles. Snow on the way. It’s icy and slushy and downright cold. But you know what? It’s pretty glorious. Sure, native Bostonians and more experienced East Coast…

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

I love balsamic vinegar. Like, really love it. I add it to pasta, salad, rice, almost any savory dish that seems a little lacking in flavor. And I add it in quantities that would probably make most people shudder. Jared certainly likes it well enough, too, but any time I’m cooking and he sees me…

Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

New baked goods are a regular occurrence in our house, but when it comes to dinner, I get stuck in a rut so fast. Try as I might, I just don’t get as excited about savory dishes as I do about sugar. Or butter. Or whipped cream. You get the idea. I know, I know….

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

This probably sounds silly coming from a food blogger, but the more I write about food, the more I realize that recipes are not the be all and end all of cooking. In fact, some of my most successful kitchen moments as of late were born from my pantry rather than a cookbook. Slowly but…

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Although I will always and forever be a winter girl at heart (hence the yearly stream of holiday tunes and bi-weekly watching of Christmas movies), there are plenty of things to love about springtime. After all, if the outside can’t be covered in snow, it might as well be green and leafy and flowery and…

For the love of tinkering: Easy spinach enchiladas

It’s Friday the 13th! Eep! Fortunately, good eats are always a good idea, even for the most superstitious black cats on the block. These easy peasy enchiladas were whipped up in a flash this week, which was a good deal considering all we had going on. Work, school, baby doc appointment … (shots for the…
