Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

September 4, 2012 By Katrina

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

This probably sounds silly coming from a food blogger, but the more I write about food, the more I realize that recipes are not the be all and end all of cooking. In fact, some of my most successful kitchen moments as of late were born from my pantry rather than a cookbook. Slowly but…

Tonight we’re having pasta

April 27, 2012 By Katrina

You know that feeling when you make it to the end of the week, your grocery supply is depleted and the thought of going to the store or consuming any of your usual fare is met with zero enthusiasm from any party involved? That’s where Jared and I were by the end of last week….

Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy

Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy

The old adage says you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and in most cases that’s super sage advice. I can think of some great books I’ve read that would have been labeled absolute duds if left to rely on their dusty old jackets. When it comes to food, however, the same isn’t entirely…

Go ahead, bake some love

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…

For the love of tinkering: Easy spinach enchiladas

For the love of tinkering: Easy spinach enchiladas

It’s Friday the 13th! Eep! Fortunately, good eats are always a good idea, even for the most superstitious black cats on the block. These easy peasy enchiladas were whipped up in a flash this week, which was a good deal considering all we had going on. Work, school, baby doc appointment … (shots for the…

Caramel corn? Don’t mind if I do.

January 5, 2012 By Katrina

Caramel corn? Don’t mind if I do.

Fair warning: This is not a resolution-friendly post. There are certain foods that are dangerously addicting. You know the type. It’s the food — usually snack food — that you shouldn’t even go near because once you start, you’ve unleashed that uncontrollable Pringles-type action (once you pop, the fun don’t stop, y’all). Typically, I think…

A dinner shortcut — so good I feel guilty!

October 19, 2011 By Katrina

A dinner shortcut — so good I feel guilty!

As a fairly regular fixture in the kitchen, I’ve started to somewhat pride myself on the homemade-ness of our little family’s meals, snacks and baked goods. We don’t buy cookies in boxes or muffins from the grocery store. Our freezer is shockingly empty save for a few things I’ve made ahead and frozen for another…

Once upon a time, three apples found their destiny

Once upon a time, three apples found their destiny

Earlier this week, three forgotten apples sat quietly at the bottom of our refrigerator. The produce drawer is a lonely place to be, I suspect, especially when you’re the last guys left until the next trip to the grocery store. Actually, I’ve always been rather hesitant about using the refrigerator drawers just because of the…

Time for a little chocolate fix

Time for a little chocolate fix

Well, here we are at Friday already. It’s the end of the workweek, the end of ice cream week (and it’s my friend Michelle’s birthday. Woo hoo!). No, the end of the week doesn’t mean I’m quitting the ice-cream-making gig; I’m still quite smitten with that little freeze machine. But I figure it’s probably time…

For those who love the ‘shrooms

June 9, 2011 By Katrina

Mushrooms. They’re another one of those divisive little devils that can turn a dinner party on its head if you’re not careful. You might love them, fill your pastas with them and think they’re the cat’s pajamas. Or maybe, instead, you think of them as an all-too-close cousin of some sort of inedible invertebrate. If…
