For when the moon is blue: Chewy chocolate brownies

For when the moon is blue: Chewy chocolate brownies

I feel about chocolate the same way I feel about hamburgers. Most of the time, most days of the year, I’m perfectly happy to live my life without them. But once in a blue moon — we’re talking every few months or so maybe — when a craving hits, the need absolutely envelops me. I…

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…

Recipes for naptime: Lemon vanilla bean muffins

Recipes for naptime: Lemon vanilla bean muffins

Nearly any parent will tell you this: Naptime is the golden hour. Actually, if you’re lucky, it’s the golden couple of hours. Before becoming a mom myself, I thought the parents who pointed this out were a little too snarky for their own good. That’s probably because before becoming a parent, I felt much more…

Every blackberry has its day

Every blackberry has its day

Our freezer has long been a place of neglect in our kitchen. I don’t mean neglect in the don’t-open-that-door-or-you-might-find-something-living-in-there way, but rather the always-empty-save-for-some-cubes-of-ice-and-ice-cream way. A while back, I decided that one of the marks of a true grownup is a well-stocked freezer (yes, I realize that’s weird), so I started picking up a few…

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…

Delicious muffins and other weighty matters

Delicious muffins and other weighty matters

Oh, how I love a new kitchen gadget. Oh, how I love a beautiful baked good. And oh, how I love whenever the two shall meet. A few Christmases ago, my brother and sister-in-law gifted me with a collection of Avoca cookbooks, filled with recipes for all sorts of delicious things that the two of…

Sweet reflections and hopeful cookies

Sweet reflections and hopeful cookies

Life has a funny way of dealing us its highs and lows simultaneously. It’s probably for good reason. Without the lows, we might not appreciate how good we have it. And without the baby smiles and sweet husband’s birthdays, getting through the tough times would feel infinitely more difficult. Seasons come and go, and as…

The Drapers could dig it: Old-fashioned apple spice cake

May 8, 2012 By Katrina

Jared and I have been on a bit of a Mad Men kick as of late (we’re still on the third season though, so no spoilers, please!), and watching an episode always makes me a bit nostalgic for the days of suits in the office, gallons of hair spray and backyard barbecues with multiple JELL-O…

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….

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Although I will always and forever be a winter girl at heart (hence the yearly stream of holiday tunes and bi-weekly watching of Christmas movies), there are plenty of things to love about springtime. After all, if the outside can’t be covered in snow, it might as well be green and leafy and flowery and…
