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!)…
Photo 40/52: The ice-cream walkabout
A walk down the path for ice cream on a pretty day makes for some happy fall photos. I do love snow, but fall might be my favorite time of year for taking pictures. And the promise of ice cream makes any journey a good one — especially with a toddler in tow. XO, Katrina…
For the Pinteresty time of year: Applesauce spice cake
Like any other self-respecting, seasonally driven Pinterester, I’ve spent the better part of the past month searching the interwebs for fall-filled recipes and holiday décor ideas. There were the pumpkin spice latte copycat recipes, the “12 ways to decorate with gourds” kind of posts and plenty of outfits involving riding boots and scarves. And I…
Photo 37/52: Apple picking!
It’s officially fall in New England! Actually, I guess it’s officially fall everywhere in the northern hemisphere, but I must say that of all the places I’ve lived, fall around here feels particularly amazing and autumny. The air chills a littler sooner, the leaves change a little faster and sweaters can soon be unpacked. Woo hoo! It’s the…
Boston in the fall
I know, I know, I’m painfully behind on blogging. Things have been busy. Such is life. But here we are, smack in the middle of my favorite time of year. Fall! Thanksgiving! Christmas! Hooray! So basically I’m glued to Pinterest, cookbooks and Bon Appétit as of late. Oh, and Hallmark Channel. You know, 24 hours…
Fall in New England: Apples, waffles and a hooray for new seasons
I’m sitting here at my desk with a 50-degree breeze coming through the window and feeling almost too chilly to be comfortable. It’s wonderful! It seems fall comes much earlier in New England, and I’m so, so happy for it. This transition to Boston has been tougher on me than I expected. It’s busy. It’s…
Fall favorites: Spice-filled scones, oatmeal and cookies galore!
Last night while clicking through baby-related inspiration on Pinterest, I came across a recipe for labor cookies. Have you heard of those? Apparently, whipping up and consuming a batch of these puppies is a surefire way (notice the use of the word “apparently”) to meet your new baby bean before the week is over. Of…
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…
