Tarts are for dreamers: Blueberry nectarine tarts

I think most people, buried in the to-do lists of their day-to-day lives, probably have some sort of pipe dream, an “I’ll do this someday when life slows down and the timing is right” sort of thing, that they keep coming back to when day jobs get too busy, overwhelming or stressful, and they just…

The best things in life are sweet

The best things in life are sweet

Ah, dessert. Whether it’s icy cold outside, you’ve had a rough day, you’re feeling under the weather or you’re incredibly sleep-deprived, sometimes all you need is a little something sweet to make all seem right in the world. The older I get (yes, it’s all relative, I know), the more I’ve come to appreciate the…

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…

Pretty desserts can be trusted: Raspberry custard cups

We’ve all heard age-old adages like “Beauty is only skin deep,” “You can’t judge a book by its cover” and “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” Sage words, no doubt. But in the wonderful world of sweeteries (the dessert realm, for those who aren’t sure of my made-up jive), I’m not afraid to say…

Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.

Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.

Jared took this photo of our peach torte before we each enjoyed a slightly larger than generous piece yesterday. After seeing the photo for the first time, I told him I think it looks like it came straight off the menu at Perkins, to which he said he wasn’t sure if that was a compliment…

Life lessons in the grocery aisle: How to cut a pineapple

May 4, 2011 By Katrina

Last summer, Jared and I were browsing through the grocery store when we came across a gigantic bin filled with pineapples. Now when it’s a million degrees outside (OK, more like 85, but seriously, that’s melty hot) and you don’t even want to think about turning on the stove, nothing sounds better than cool, fresh…
