For the Pinteresty time of year: Applesauce spice cake

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…

Pretty in pictures, lovely in words: Orange and cranberry fairy buns

Pretty in pictures, lovely in words: Orange and cranberry fairy buns

When I’m cruising Pinterest or flipping through cookbooks or magazines, it’s usually the photos that pull me toward a recipe. I consider myself a writer much more so than a photographer or baker, so I do feel a bit shameful in admitting that I’m so easily influenced by visuals first and words second, but when…

The Drapers could dig it: Old-fashioned apple spice cake

May 8, 2012 By Katrina

Jared and I have been on a bit of a Mad Men kick as of late (we’re still on the third season though, so no spoilers, please!), and watching an episode always makes me a bit nostalgic for the days of suits in the office, gallons of hair spray and backyard barbecues with multiple JELL-O…

It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!

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…

Dear Ms. Witch. Your house smells good: Gingerbread cake

Dear Ms. Witch. Your house smells good: Gingerbread cake

Remember the story of Hansel and Gretel? The little kids who stumbled upon a witch’s gingerbread house while walking through the woods, only to be wooed inside by the promise of sweets and fattened up so the mean old witch could enjoy some tasty kid stew? No matter what version of the story you heard…

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…

Feeling cold, tasting spring: Lemon olive oil cake

Feeling cold, tasting spring: Lemon olive oil cake

Yesterday felt like the coldest day of the year. I think the high hovered somewhere near 16, and the wind chill prompted atypical alerts about dangerously cold winds and frostbite possibilities on my trusty Weather Channel app. Normally, this sort of bone-chilling weather would lead me toward the soup section of a cookbook, or at…
