Putting the ME in MEATSAUCE

HEEYYYY INTERNET! How’s it going? I just ate some meatsauce (is that not one word? well, i want it to be, so it is here), so I am doing pretty well, if you couldn’t tell. Now I want to share it with you, because I like you. I know, 2 savory posts in a row, [...]

Cause it makes you FEEL good

Things have been a little DRAMATIC around this kitch recently. Not in any real tangible way, I just feel like my shift key has been getting a lot of use. Things have been the BEST or the WORST or I’ve been threatening to punch people in the balls. Let’s bring it back down a little [...]

Superlative banana bread

Are you one of those people who can’t get excited about banana bread? Well, stop being that person. That person is a crazy person. Because this banana bread is the f’in BEE’S KNEES, and everyone who has tried it so far has said it’s the best thing I’ve ever made. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY [...]

Cinnamon bun sleepover!

I run pretty much the same route every morning. It’s one of those strange things about my personality that I don’t really understand. I am in one moment impetuous to a fault, moving across the country on a whim (thrice-ish), rarely saying no to any activity and/or adventure, and doing that whole acting before thinking [...]

Brownies for my Brownie

I undercooked these brownies. I undercooked them a lot. Well, not according to the recipe. According to the recipe, I cooked them 5 minutes longer than necessary. But no. They were unacceptably gooey. I love a gooey brownie, I do, but these were practically melted chocolate. They were unholdable. They would not DO.

A simple knife [...]

In search of the razza-za-zoo

Raspberries are sacred to me. They are. They really really are. I don’t just throw them into anything (except my mouth). And it takes a lot for me to bake a raspberry. Baking a raspberry is like melting ice cream. Sure it still tastes good, but why wouldn’t you just eat it in its original [...]

Douchey cupcakes

May I start off by thanking my darling sister for driving to the BART station to give me back my camera after I accidentally left it at her place? Well, that’s what I’m doing, because she told me I had to. As she handed me the camera over the turnstile she said “this better make [...]

An Inconvenient Granola

Everyone who knows me knows that I tend toward the hippie side of things more often than not. In college, my friends staged various “interventions” on my behalf because of this tendency. They went something like this:
Friend: Katrina, you can no longer own a hemp wallet.
Me: Quit harshin my cool!
Friend: Katrina, no self-respecting 21 year [...]

A, B, CCC’s

I live above the cutest little grocery store. The man who owns it already knows me by name. Today I went in just as they were closing because it was one of those nights where I knew I had to make chocolate chip cookies. So I grabbed a bag of chocolate chips and brought it [...]

Sweet lies

So, I said I was going to make it up to you (the abandonment and all). That was a lie. Because I thought I was going to make you an awesome crisp and you’d be so excited about it and it would be just the thing for a summer night with vanilla ice cream. But [...]
