Call it a blueberry morning

February 22, 2012 By Katrina

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

February 13, 2012 By Katrina

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…

Who are you, peanut butter cookie? Who are you?

December 29, 2011 By Katrina

Who are you, peanut butter cookie? Who are you?

I’ve been giving this a lot of thought lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can tell a lot about people by their favorite kind of cookie. There are the chocolate chip-lovers, straight-forward and classic; the snickerdoodle fans, pure and sweet; and the lemon bar enthusiasts, fresh and zingy. I actually ran through…

When you give a Santa a cookie…

December 22, 2011 By Katrina

With the holiday festivities in full swing, we’re up to our ears in sweets and sugarplums around here. Luckily, ’tis the season for sharing, so yesterday my sister and I spent the latter half of the day in the kitchen icing and decorating cookies for our annual rounds through the neighborhood. With no more than…

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

Christmas countdown week has arrived! Yahoo! Around our house, the week before Christmas is pretty much an ode to flour, sugar and butter galore. Hello, cookies! Yep, it’s a baking extravaganza right up until the man in red arrives. Then that baking extravaganza turns into a gifting, eating and all-around holidaying extravaganza. It really is…

And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones

And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones

We’ve all heard the old adage: A baby changes everything. Three weeks into this parenting thing, and I can indeed confirm that our tiny bundle has made a mountain-sized impact on life as we knew it. Although the Bean’s birth hasn’t literally changed everything — there’s still work to do, school to attend, holidays to…

It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!

November 1, 2011 By Katrina

It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!

Happy belated Halloween! I hope everyone had a spooky, wonderful holiday full of tricks, treats and enough sugary bliss to last until the turkeys thaw for Thanksgiving! I love Halloween for a lot of reasons, but I think I love it most because it’s the official kickoff to my favorite time of year. Yahoo, holiday…

Fall favorites: Spice-filled scones, oatmeal and cookies galore!

October 21, 2011 By Katrina

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 food blogging conundrum: Saving room for favorites

The food blogging conundrum: Saving room for favorites

Writing a food-filled blog for the past year has turned out to be a pretty fun gig. Not only have I had a chance to sharpen my kitchen skills and experiment with recipes, but Jared and I have also enjoyed our share of yumminess from the ever-changing post subjects. I’ve tried things I never thought…

It’s not easy being cheesy

October 7, 2011 By Katrina

It’s not easy being cheesy

Yes, that is a cheesy title. No, this post is not about Cheetos (too bad, I know; they’re totally my secret guilty pleasure love o’ life). This happy Friday post is, however, about an equally cheese-infused bite that I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d bake and then so joyfully nosh. Today is all…
