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…

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…

The happiest cookies you’ll ever make

September 9, 2011 By Katrina

The happiest cookies you’ll ever make

The older I get (it’s all relative, I know), the more I realize how much some of the best things in life are also the simplest. Life gets crazy, plans have to change, but I think there’s comfort in knowing that lifting your spirits or finding your happy place isn’t nearly as overwhelming or unattainable…

We moved. All is well. I’m baking again.

August 16, 2011 By Katrina

We moved. All is well. I’m baking again.

Moving. Ooph. Last week, our little family made the 1,000-mile trek from our home in Missouri to our new digs in North Carolina. That meant two days of driving our caravan of vehicles, one three-car trailer filled with all our worldly possessions and four straight mornings of pre-5 o’clock wake-up calls. Thankfully, Jared’s dad helped…

It’s pumpkin time — again

June 23, 2011 By Katrina

It’s pumpkin time — again

If I had to name one baked good that’s made in our house more than any other, it would have to be the pumpkin muffin. Sure, pumpkin is generally reserved for the fall and winter months, but there’s really nothing better than walking into a house that smells like cinnamon and ginger. My little sister…

Project NYT: Lemon sablés — everyone needs some sparkle

Project NYT: Lemon sablés — everyone needs some sparkle

It’s hot. It’s humid. I’m on another lemon kick. You know that feeling when you walk into the bathroom not long after someone else in the house took a super hot shower? That’s how Missouri feels in the summertime. Hot. Steamy. Ooph. If you’re a hot-and-sticky summertime fan, then you’re probably gearing up for three…

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…

Dessert fix: Molasses cookies

March 21, 2011 By Katrina

Dessert fix: Molasses cookies

I could write a list a mile long of ingredients I love in cookies. Luckily, I’ve learned that an amalgamation of all my favorites does not a good cookie make. Still, I have a certain appreciation for the unexpected combos, and these molasses cookies with oatmeal from Martha Stewart sounded just interesting enough to warrant…
