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…
Lessons from a do-over: Banana tea muffins
I’ve learned a lot of lessons in the kitchen over the past few years. No. 1: Wait until the immersion blender is in the soup before turning it on. No. 2: Serrated knives are great for cutting chocolate. No. 3: Never underestimate the power of parchment paper. And No. 4: Don’t freak out when it…
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…
Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy
The old adage says you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and in most cases that’s super sage advice. I can think of some great books I’ve read that would have been labeled absolute duds if left to rely on their dusty old jackets. When it comes to food, however, the same isn’t entirely…
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…
Go ahead, bake some love
I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus as of late. And no, this wasn’t the kick-up-your-heels, toes-in-the-sand, relaxy-taxi kind of hiatus. Rather, it was the holy-moly-I-have-so-much-to-do-my-brain-will-surely-explode-if-I-add-one-more-thing-to-my-to-do-list kind of hiatus. You know the kind, right? It’s when you go to bed around midnight and say to yourself, “That’s all I can do today. I’ll…
Chicken stoup for the snow-lovin’ soul
Jared and I are self-proclaimed winter enthusiasts. We love cold weather. We love snow. We’re mildly intrigued by the idea of staying in one of those igloo hotels. There’s a reason our electric bill takes a much-appreciated nosedive in the winter (and a not-so-lovely skyrocket in the summer). Basically, if it’s cold and frost-covered, we…
The best things in life are sweet
Ah, dessert. Whether it’s icy cold outside, you’ve had a rough day, you’re feeling under the weather or you’re incredibly sleep-deprived, sometimes all you need is a little something sweet to make all seem right in the world. The older I get (yes, it’s all relative, I know), the more I’ve come to appreciate the…
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…
Caramel corn? Don’t mind if I do.
Fair warning: This is not a resolution-friendly post. There are certain foods that are dangerously addicting. You know the type. It’s the food — usually snack food — that you shouldn’t even go near because once you start, you’ve unleashed that uncontrollable Pringles-type action (once you pop, the fun don’t stop, y’all). Typically, I think…
