Project NYT: Lemon bars

May 31, 2011 By Katrina

Project NYT: Lemon bars

I’ve spent a good many years making lemon bars from the basic box mix that you find at the grocery store, the ones with the light, cookie-like crust and the sort of spongy lemony middles. I know they’re nothing to write home about; they’ve never been the kind of dessert that makes my taste buds…

Project NYT: Blueberry Pie with Lattice Top

Project NYT: Blueberry Pie with Lattice Top

A lot of people have buckets lists when it comes to things they want to do or accomplish in their lifetimes: skydiving, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, those sorts of must-dos. Although I haven’t put together an official life bucket list (I have no desire to go skydiving, though climbing a mountain might be…

Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.

Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.

Jared took this photo of our peach torte before we each enjoyed a slightly larger than generous piece yesterday. After seeing the photo for the first time, I told him I think it looks like it came straight off the menu at Perkins, to which he said he wasn’t sure if that was a compliment…

A belated bit of British business: Blueberry scones

A belated bit of British business: Blueberry scones

The night before the Royal Wedding rolled around at the end of last month, I went to bed with good intentions of a morning mixed with dress watching and scone making. But truth be told, 4 a.m. is early, and when the alarm (a.k.a. my little sister) woke me up for the big event, it…

Because everyone loves a shindig: Wedding shower fun

May 3, 2011 By Katrina

Last weekend, my mom and I put together a bridal shower for Michelle, my best friend from high school who’s getting married this July. Woo hoo! Michelle and I have been friends since we were 12 years old, which, for two military kids who were used to moving around every three years, pretty much feels…

Blueberry muffins go strawberry

April 28, 2011 By Katrina

Blueberry muffins go strawberry

I’m slowly but surely gearing myself up for a little recipe invention of my own, but until I find the nerve, I’ve been doing a bit of recipe tweaking to get myself in the experimental spirit. Everyone in my family was such a fan of Jordan Marsh’s blueberry muffins that I made a few weeks…

Somebunny loves cookies: Icing 101

April 26, 2011 By Katrina

There was a lot more cookie business happening at our place over Easter weekend, and even though the holiday has come and gone, I thought you might get a kick out of taking a peek at my icing escapades of late. Around Valentine’s Day this year, I watched an episode of the Martha Stewart Show…

Easter is for chicks

April 22, 2011 By Katrina

Last summer when my family was visiting my grandma in Wisconsin, we stopped into a little Mennonite store just a few miles from her house. It’s a pretty great place, and I can’t believe we went so many years without realizing it was even there. Stocked with everything you need to get your baking on…

Project NYT: Old South Buttermilk Biscuits

April 19, 2011 By Katrina

Project NYT: Old South Buttermilk Biscuits

I don’t know exactly why, but I’m continually amazed when something that I cook or bake turns out to resemble a prepackaged grocery store product that I used to eat or buy. I realize that one of the best things about going the homemade route in the kitchen is that you’re avoiding all the prepackaged…

Project NYT: Lemon cake

April 12, 2011 By Katrina

Project NYT: Lemon cake

I’m attracted to recipes for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it’s a certain ingredient that I’ve been itching to use. Sometimes it’s a slew of ingredients (a.k.a. whatever foods in my refrigerator need to be eaten ASAP) that convinces me to try something new. And sometimes it’s a new method of preparation that lures…
