Lessons from a do-over: Banana tea muffins

April 12, 2012 By Katrina

Lessons from a do-over: Banana tea muffins

I’ve learned a lot of lessons in the kitchen over the past few years. No. 1: Wait until the immersion blender is in the soup before turning it on. No. 2: Serrated knives are great for cutting chocolate. No. 3: Never underestimate the power of parchment paper. And No. 4: Don’t freak out when it…

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…

Call it a blueberry morning

Call it a blueberry morning

Is it just me, or do Saturday mornings get sweeter the older you get? Sure, when you’re a little kid they’re amazing because you get to laze around in your jammies all morning, watch hours of cartoons and eat cereal on the floor of the living room, but once you reach adulthood, I think you…

Chicken stoup for the snow-lovin’ soul

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…

The best things in life are sweet

The best things in life are sweet

Ah, dessert. Whether it’s icy cold outside, you’ve had a rough day, you’re feeling under the weather or you’re incredibly sleep-deprived, sometimes all you need is a little something sweet to make all seem right in the world. The older I get (yes, it’s all relative, I know), the more I’ve come to appreciate the…

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…

Caramel corn? Don’t mind if I do.

January 5, 2012 By Katrina

Caramel corn? Don’t mind if I do.

Fair warning: This is not a resolution-friendly post. There are certain foods that are dangerously addicting. You know the type. It’s the food — usually snack food — that you shouldn’t even go near because once you start, you’ve unleashed that uncontrollable Pringles-type action (once you pop, the fun don’t stop, y’all). Typically, I think…

When you give a Santa a cookie…

December 22, 2011 By Katrina

With the holiday festivities in full swing, we’re up to our ears in sweets and sugarplums around here. Luckily, ’tis the season for sharing, so yesterday my sister and I spent the latter half of the day in the kitchen icing and decorating cookies for our annual rounds through the neighborhood. With no more than…

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

Dessert that’s fit for a king. Or queen. Or anyone who’s keen on crowns.

Christmas countdown week has arrived! Yahoo! Around our house, the week before Christmas is pretty much an ode to flour, sugar and butter galore. Hello, cookies! Yep, it’s a baking extravaganza right up until the man in red arrives. Then that baking extravaganza turns into a gifting, eating and all-around holidaying extravaganza. It really is…

And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones

We’ve all heard the old adage: A baby changes everything. Three weeks into this parenting thing, and I can indeed confirm that our tiny bundle has made a mountain-sized impact on life as we knew it. Although the Bean’s birth hasn’t literally changed everything — there’s still work to do, school to attend, holidays to…
