Sweets in the snow: Cocoa brownies with sea salt

We’re knee-deep in snow here in Boston today (or full-body deep as far as our chilly little poodle is concerned), and I’m happy to report that we’re finally getting a taste of the East Coast winters we’ve heard so much about since moving here last summer. Woo hoo! There are few things I love more…

Valentine’s DIY: Glass etching

February 14, 2011 By Katrina

Happy Valentine’s Day! As Jared and I swim out (a.k.a. eat our way out) from under our sea of sugar and chocolate, I thought I’d share some festive DIYing to give my much-loved oven a bit of a respite. I put this together a while ago as a Valentine’s DIY for the latest issue of…
