Don’t get hangry: How to build the perfect breakfast tacos

Don’t get hangry: How to build the perfect breakfast tacos

I’m happy to report that we’ve made it through our first real Boston blizzard. There’s still so much snow outside (and it’s snowing right now), but aside from the bunches of snow, it was pretty uneventful. Wonderfully uneventful, actually. We certainly prepared for the blizzard like any normal people would: filled up extra bottles of water, made sure…

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!)…

Every grill has its day: Chopped barbecue chicken salad

Every grill has its day: Chopped barbecue chicken salad

When we lived in Missouri, Jared and I had a beast of a grill that took up about a third of the deck space at the back of our small apartment. It sat largely unused for a good five months of the year, but once the weather warmed up enough for Jared to remove his…

Rise of the Monday: Asparagus and egg bake

Rise of the Monday: Asparagus and egg bake

Oh, Monday, you poor little thing. You’re always so punctual, always predictable. Never once have you forgotten an appointment or stood us up simply because you were too tired, cranky or preoccupied. And how do we repay you? Too often, it’s with grumbling and complaining I’m afraid. The truth is, you deserve better. And better…

Worth a second chance: The meatball sandwich

Worth a second chance: The meatball sandwich

While surfing Pinterest on Saturday afternoon, I came across a DIY tutorial for turning a men’s collared shirt into a super cute women’s top, complete with an adorable bow around the neck. Like many pins, it came with the overly enthusiastic sell, something like: “SO TOTES EASY! Turn your man’s shirt into a cute weekend…

On top of spaghetti: Fast and easy meatballs

On top of spaghetti: Fast and easy meatballs

While making a grocery list yesterday, I took a minute to peruse the recipe index on the blog for a few meal ideas for the upcoming week. During said search, two facts become abundantly clear: No. 1, we eat a lot of cookies. And No. 2, if our lives took place in Land Before Time,…

Chicken stoup for the snow-lovin’ soul

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…

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…

I’ll take the whole enchilada

I’ll take the whole enchilada

Lots of the meals Jared and I have come to know and love (and cook with the utmost frequency) are recipes we’ve discovered during the past few years of marriage. Some are from magazines, some are from blogs, some are makeshift creations we’ve tweaked and refined with time. No matter their origins, however, they’ve become…

Factory-made — at home: Louisiana Chicken Pasta

Factory-made — at home: Louisiana Chicken Pasta

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…
