Let the party begin

January 14, 2011 By Katrina

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved a good awards show. The Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes … it didn’t matter which one. As long as there were red carpets and fancy dresses, I was in. The Golden Globe Awards are this Sunday night, and in honor of the occasion, I thought I’d mix…

Seared to perfection? Maybe practice makes perfect.

January 7, 2011 By Katrina

Every month when my trusty Real Simple comes in the mail, I start by flipping to the end of the magazine to check out the recipes featured in the back-of-book. I usually pick one or two from every issue to try out, and depending on the results (and time/ease of preparation), the meal will sometimes…

Project NYT: Apple coffee cake

Project NYT: Apple coffee cake

Typically, I’ve never been one to go for reduced-fat or sugar-free kinds of labels, but a few years ago I tried the reduced-fat cinnamon swirl coffee cake at Starbucks and found it to be a pretty delish little baked good.

Minimal ingredients, maximum results

Have you ever noticed how all of the best baked goods start from the same simple ingredients? It’s pretty amazing when you think about it: By using little more than flour, sugar, butter, eggs and salt in varying amounts, you can create all sorts of wonderful things — and different wonderful things at that. It’s…

Reflecting on a brownie

December 28, 2010 By Katrina

Brownies are tricky. Amidst all my baking escapades during the past few years, I haven’t been able to perfect a homemade brownie. It’s certainly possible that I’m doing something wrong: mixing things too much, not enough or not in the right order. But for the most part, I blame the box. Boxed brownies that is….

Here’s how it went down

November 26, 2010 By Katrina

Whew! Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’d say the ol’ tummy is out of commission for the next few days (who am I kidding? You know the leftovers will be rolling out in a few hours). After all that prep and cooking time, we ended up with a Thanksgiving meal…
