Photo 22/52: Instagram for the win

June 5, 2014 By Katrina

I’ve been making a major effort this year to take more photos of our kids with the good camera, but despite a noticeable difference in photo quality, some of my all-time favorite shots are still the ones I take with my phone, particularly the photos that end up on Instagram. Maybe it’s because those photos tend to be a lot…

Three-ingredient strawberry sorbet

June 12, 2013 By Katrina

Three-ingredient strawberry sorbet

Although our oven joins us in a collective groan as the summer heat draws near, there’s one little appliance tucked in the back corner of the kitchen that lets out a happy squeal at the first sign of 90-degree days. “Yippee da doo, eep eep eep!” Or something like that. Yes, after nearly nine months…

Cup of Joe — à la mode, please

Cup of Joe — à la mode, please

Last Saturday, I received an email from my mother-in-law notifying me that Sunday, July 17 was National Ice Cream Day. Yep, a whole day dedicated to the consumption of my all-time favorite dessert. Sounds pretty great, right? She wanted to know what kind of ice cream I was planning to make for the occasion, but…

Time for a little chocolate fix

June 17, 2011 By Katrina

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…

Project NYT: Mr. Wonka, this one’s for you

Project NYT: Mr. Wonka, this one’s for you

Remember that blueberry girl from Willy Wonka? The one who chewed like a fiend and blew up to the size of a small boat when she chomped a bit too heartily on the three-course-dinner gum and had to be juiced to get back to normal size? I’m not sure I’d choose magic gum as a…

When life gives you limes, make ice cream

When life gives you limes, make ice cream

There are a lot of things you can learn about a person just by sharing a meal together. You can learn likes and dislikes, favorites and not-so-favorites, and you almost always get a glimpse at one or two of those little quirks that make that someone tick. The very first time I went to a…

Project NYT: Strawberry ice cream forever

Project NYT: Strawberry ice cream forever

Boy howdy. I am in love with this ice cream maker. The snazzy little gizmo (let’s just call her Creama) has been whipping up a storm this weekend and is already proving to be quite a pro. It’s easy to set up, easy to use and easy peasy to clean. No, this is not a…

An ice cream kind of summer

June 10, 2011 By Katrina

Deep within the pages of the NYT Cookbook, in the introduction to the frozen dessert section, Amanda Hesser writes: “As someone who eats ice cream nearly every day, I’m an enthusiastic proponent of making it yourself” (p. 715). I came across these words of wisdom a few weeks ago, and they struck me for a…

I scream, you scream

March 30, 2011 By Katrina

Last week, I received a package from one of Jared’s grandmas that was filled to the brim with goodies: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, Reese’s Pieces, Heath Bar chunks, almonds and more. Basically, it’s one giant excuse to do a whole bunch of baking. Don’t mind if I do. Well a few days later, Jared…
