Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

Out of the rut: Barley risotto with spinach and sweet potatoes

New baked goods are a regular occurrence in our house, but when it comes to dinner, I get stuck in a rut so fast. Try as I might, I just don’t get as excited about savory dishes as I do about sugar. Or butter. Or whipped cream. You get the idea. I know, I know….

Worth a second chance: The meatball sandwich

Worth a second chance: The meatball sandwich

While surfing Pinterest on Saturday afternoon, I came across a DIY tutorial for turning a men’s collared shirt into a super cute women’s top, complete with an adorable bow around the neck. Like many pins, it came with the overly enthusiastic sell, something like: “SO TOTES EASY! Turn your man’s shirt into a cute weekend…

Chilly weather means chili weather

Chilly weather means chili weather

I had originally planned to begin this post with the line, “Fall has arrived in North Carolina!” And it had when I made this chili last week. It was a cool morning, the air was crisp and the leaves were blowing. I think the high that day was 58 degrees. It was beautiful. But you…

On top of spaghetti: Fast and easy meatballs

While making a grocery list yesterday, I took a minute to peruse the recipe index on the blog for a few meal ideas for the upcoming week. During said search, two facts become abundantly clear: No. 1, we eat a lot of cookies. And No. 2, if our lives took place in Land Before Time,…

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

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…

Food for a fairy tale: Wheatberry salad

Food for a fairy tale: Wheatberry salad

Don’t you just love when an ingredient sounds like it was invented in a fairy tale? Beneath the leaves of an unassuming bramble bush, in a wooded field not far from your backyard, the wild wheatberries lie. They’re the tiniest of berries, no larger than a flea, and none too impressive in appearance, but please…

Fine dining à la home: Mushroom and spinach risotto

Fine dining à la home: Mushroom and spinach risotto

In every cook’s internal recipe box, there lies a slew of dishes that will never be made for company. Maybe it’s that casserole from your childhood days with one too many cans of mushroom soup involved or that gooey dessert you microwave in a coffee mug. For us, there are the glorious super burritos, which…

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…
