Girlfriends and Toffee-Coconut Crack Cookies

May 27, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

I was thinking a lot about my girlfriends on Friday night, and how nice it is to have people out there who love you, and who tell you they love you, besides your mom and your grandma and your boyfriend. (And your dad and your brothers and your all your crazy aunts… I don’t want anyone to feel left out). Trevor’s been away for a week and I won’t see him until the end of the next one, so I […]

Greatist Collaboration: Fresh Snap Pea and Radish Salad

May 25, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

Just a quick hello to bring you a quick super-seasonal salad I’m sharing over at Greatist this week. I missed my last post over there (I know, you’ve heard it before, but work really has been crazy), so I wanted to make this one extra, er, healthy. Which it totally is. And not only is it healthy, it’s fresh, full of flavor, satisfying and a great use of some of the spring produce we already have in abundance – radishes, peas, and […]

Vermont and a Maple-Apple & Brie Quiche

May 20, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

I’m currently supposed to be at work, working, but I’m shirking a little bit and sitting outside in the freshly manicured garden to write to you about our trip to Vermont, because amazingly beautiful spring Sundays don’t come around all that often, and when they do, I’m pretty sure they shouldn’t be spent inside at the desk where you’re going to spend the upcoming week. There’s plenty of time for work, but not so much time lately for just enjoying […]

Rhubarb-Polenta Cake with Cinnamon

May 15, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

This post was intended to be about the long weekend I just spent in Southern Vermont, hiking and sunbathing and resting. But today was just one of those days, and when I arrived home from work at 9pm (far too late), soaking wet (forgot my umbrella), hungry, and disgruntled, I wasn’t really in the peace-and-sunshine sort of mood. I was more in the judge-everyone-around-me sort of mood. I’m looking at you, anxious guy on the subway playing molecule identification games […]

Cookbook of the Month: Girl in the Kitchen

May 7, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

Don’t worry, I’m going to write about the book. Especially after I left you hanging last month. But I can’t tell you about it yet. Because I have to tell you about this mac and cheese, first. This mac and cheese is amazing. AMAZING. It has oomph – lots of rich, smoky, garlicky, spicy oomph. I ate it for 3 out of 4 meals this weekend. (What, you eat lunch on the weekend? Hasn’t anyone introduced you to brunch??) Then […]
