Winter | Katie at the Kitchen Door

January, February

February 27, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Now that two whole months of 2013 have passed, I just wanted to check in and share some of the things I’ve been doing, reading, eating, and loving, that may not have made their way onto the blog. I’m glad that it’s almost March, because March means spring, but there have been some good things about winter, too, and it would be a shame to forget about them. Did you know I got my very first smartphone in January? Yeah, […]

Stuffed Quail with Marmalade, Whiskey, and Bacon {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

Roast Figs, Sugar Snow, Revisited // Stuffed Quail with Marmalade, Whiskey, and Bacon & “Hot Lightning”

February 18, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

After spending a few months last fall really diving into cookbook reviews (and recently picking it up again), I’ve come to recognize the things I truly love in a cookbook. Before, when I picked up a book and flipped through it, I had some immediate reaction to it which was either positive, negative, or neutral, and I bought the ones I felt positively about over multiple visits to the bookstore. I did sort of identify that the books that fell […]

Roasted Carrot and Tahini Soup with Chickpeas {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

A Day Off // Roasted Carrot and Tahini Soup with Chickpeas

February 15, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

I took today off, not to do anything in particular, but just to have a whole day to myself, to catch up on things, clean, get organized, write, etc. A one day staycation, if you will. I love days like this. It helps that the temperature got up to 50 (50! Spring! I can feel it!) and that after a full week of sneezing I’m finally feeling better. I wanted to ask – how were everyone’s Valentine’s Days? Mine was […]

Winter Cleanse Week Two - Menu and Grocery List, from Katie at the Kitchen Door

Winter Cleanse 2013: Week Two

January 16, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Tah-dah! I have the menu/grocery-list/pictures for the second week of my 2013 winter cleanse! I have some wrap-up thoughts on how this went for me this year, but before I get into that, I want to direct everyone over to the week one post for more info on the reason behind the cleanse, why I even call it a cleanse, how it’s set-up, and more. The only new logistical thing I’ll mention is that the beginning of week two makes […]

Pomegranate and Pear Salad {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

Pomegranate & Pear Salad

January 15, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Alright, guys – one more salad recipe, then I’ll post the week two menu and groceries tomorrow, and then I’ll shut up about cleansing for a good long while. In fact, I have two decidedly non-cleanse-friendly recipes coming up in the next week – think comforting Italian, then think Valentine’s Day planning. I’m excited already. Not that I’m going to give up all my cleanse habits – on the contrary, I plan to continue eating a lot of salads and […]
