Stop and Smell the Pancakes

February 25, 2017 By Katrina

Stop and Smell the Pancakes

Wonderfully slow, sleepy Saturdays. These are what dreams are made of. At least the dreams of sleep-deprived parents who do too much go, go, go and not enough stop and smell the pancakes. But today is a good day. It’s a slow-to-start, breakfast-at-10, happy-kids-and-so-much-sunshine kind of Saturday. And our hearts and tummies are very full.

Holiday Baking: Make-Ahead Cherry Scones

Holiday Baking: Make-Ahead Cherry Scones

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. All ideas and opinions are my own. Scones, you guys. Scones. The holiday season is here, my to-do list is a million miles long, and I’m over here making scones like they’re going out of style. They’re not, of course, because scones are delicious and will never be…

Worth the Effort: Pain Aux Raisins

Worth the Effort: Pain Aux Raisins

We’ve been told time and again that hard work is worth the effort, but here’s the real deal: Some things aren’t always worth the effort. Wrangling two kids into coats and hats to traipse through a foot of snow to go buy diapers when Amazon two-day shipping is just so free? Not worth it. Getting…

It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

September 4, 2015 By Katrina

It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

I love a good salad, but salad isn’t usually what comes to mind when I think of comfort food. Or super satisfying food. Or I’m-totes-craving-that food. This salad, though? Oh man, guys. This is the stuff. This warm chicken salad with roasted potatoes and chives has everything you’d want in a meal: fresh ingredients, a…

Summer Market Risotto

August 3, 2015 By Katrina

Summer Market Risotto

Ah, summer farmers markets. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning, especially when the weather’s nice and the stands are overflowing with such great stuff. And even if it’s a little too sticky outside to be comfortable, the bounty is usually worth it. No, it’s always worth it. I’d walk…

Fit for a Fairy: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Fit for a Fairy: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Beany has been increasingly interested in ingredients lately, and her questioning is often relentless. “What is that?” “Where did that come from?” “What does that taste like?” “How did you make it?” This has its plusses and minuses, of course. Curiosity finally convinced her to taste salad dressing, which made her taste spinach salad, which…

Becoming Bread Makers: Awesome Everyday Bread

Years ago, I think during his early college days, my older brother took up bread making. Every so often when he came home from school for the weekend, he’d stay up into the wee hours of the morning baking loaves of a simple honey wheat bread. I say simple, but the process always seemed pretty…

Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Mint and chocolate are one of the world’s great loves stories. You’ve heard it before, right? Once upon a time, there was a guy named Chocolate. He was hanging out one day, just being all rich and sweet, when the beautiful young Mint entered the picture. She was smart. She was strong. She didn’t need him…

Don’t get hangry: How to build the perfect breakfast tacos

Don’t get hangry: How to build the perfect breakfast tacos

I’m happy to report that we’ve made it through our first real Boston blizzard. There’s still so much snow outside (and it’s snowing right now), but aside from the bunches of snow, it was pretty uneventful. Wonderfully uneventful, actually. We certainly prepared for the blizzard like any normal people would: filled up extra bottles of water, made sure…

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms                     

January 26, 2015 By Katrina

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms                     

The whole Northeast is prepping for a gigantic wallop of a snowstorm, so, naturally, Target was a madhouse yesterday. Think holiday-sized crowds grabbing at end caps filled with water and snack foods (Super Bowl fare works well in blizzards, too, FYI), filling baskets with enough flashlights and peanut butter to last well into next week….
