Chicken stoup for the snow-lovin’ soul

January 20, 2012 By Katrina

Chicken stoup for the snow-lovin’ soul

Jared and I are self-proclaimed winter enthusiasts. We love cold weather. We love snow. We’re mildly intrigued by the idea of staying in one of those igloo hotels. There’s a reason our electric bill takes a much-appreciated nosedive in the winter (and a not-so-lovely skyrocket in the summer). Basically, if it’s cold and frost-covered, we…

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…

It’s flying from the stovetop! But it’s the prettiest of soups.

October 26, 2011 By Katrina

It’s flying from the stovetop! But it’s the prettiest of soups.

Some foods are so pretty that a single look is all it takes to fall in love. Some foods taste so amazing that one bite clears away all the stress and worries of the day. And then there are some foods that look so pretty and taste so amazing that it’s impossible to decide whether…

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…

Pasta + cheese = comfort

October 3, 2011 By Katrina

Pasta + cheese = comfort

Cooking can be a pretty mathematical process sometimes. For the mathletes among us, that’s probably reassuring. Knowing that spaghetti + sauce = dinner is likely just as comforting as knowing that 2 + 2 = 4. Simple cooking truths, just like simple math, are the building blocks of kitchen know-how, and though the real fun…

I’ll take the whole enchilada

September 15, 2011 By Katrina

I’ll take the whole enchilada

Lots of the meals Jared and I have come to know and love (and cook with the utmost frequency) are recipes we’ve discovered during the past few years of marriage. Some are from magazines, some are from blogs, some are makeshift creations we’ve tweaked and refined with time. No matter their origins, however, they’ve become…

We’re Southern now, y’all. And we’re cooking up cornbread.

August 30, 2011 By Katrina

We’re Southern now, y’all. And we’re cooking up cornbread.

Weekends are funny things. We spend all week looking forward to having a few days off, only to find that those few days fly by so fast, we’re left wondering what in the world we did with all the extra time. Saturdays are especially rascally that way. It’s typically the one day a week that…

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Eggplants are inherently funny little guys. They grow in the garden along with all the other squash-like things — think zucchinis, summer squash, cucumbers and the like — but they’re slightly stranger, quite a bit tougher and decidedly less popular because they look a bit too different. Actually they remind me of little Rudolph at…

Hello, sandwich. Let’s do lunch.

April 13, 2011 By Katrina

Not every food of my affection requires a bunch of preparation or fanfare. Sometimes it’s as easy peasy as slapping together a few ingredients in a haphazard way and noshing on the delicious results. No frills, no tricks. Just things I know I like, stacked together in a way I know I like to eat…

Amber’s Magic Salad

April 6, 2011 By Katrina

Amber’s Magic Salad

Sometimes our love for a particular food isn’t entirely explainable. Maybe it stems from a certain ingredient, the perfect texture or a favorite memory. Whatever the reason, it only takes a single bite to know when something has hit the spot. And once that spot is hit, the food adoration ensues. Amber whipped up this…
