Forget the French fries: Salt and vinegar potatoes

March 5, 2013 By Katrina

Forget the French fries: Salt and vinegar potatoes

I love recipes that take a bit of work to put together, the kind that use a ridiculous amount of kitchenware, loads of ingredients and a fair amount of time before they even reach the oven. There’s something so satisfying about all that work, both in the finished dishes you’ve created and the chaos they…

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

This probably sounds silly coming from a food blogger, but the more I write about food, the more I realize that recipes are not the be all and end all of cooking. In fact, some of my most successful kitchen moments as of late were born from my pantry rather than a cookbook. Slowly but…

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…

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…

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….

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…

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…

End-of-summer pizza

End-of-summer pizza

It’s officially September, officially post-Labor Day, and I’m so so ready for fall. I’m ready for the changing colors, the chilly air, the crunchy leaves on the ground outside. And the holidays. I’m always ready for the holidays. But amidst all my fall anticipation through the years, I’ve realized that I never give summertime the…
