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 […]

Garden: Spaghetti with Summer Squash and Tomatoes

July 28, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

I’ve been waiting for this meal for a long time. Since February, to be exact, from the moment I put the first seed in the first pot to sit in my bedroom window absorbing the weak winter sun. And by this meal, I don’t mean this dish exactly – I just mean the first meal where all of the produce (well, except the garlic, we don’t get to plant that until September) could be fresh-picked from the garden, moments before […]

A Summer Dinner: Cold Sesame Noodles with Veggies

July 11, 2012 by katieatthekitchendoor

So here I am in Maine. On vacation. My first ever real-person vacation, to be exact. It’s been really nice, with just the right amount of activity, and just the right amount of rest… and there’s still four whole days left. Tomorrow my 3 best girlfriends from Duke begin to arrive, and things will be a little busier, but in a good way. I’m envisioning margaritas, long tanning sessions, catching up on love lives and gossip, and some wholesome Maine […]

Quinoa and Brussel Sprout Primavera

November 11, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

Before leaving for Miami I thought that going a full week without access to a kitchen was going to be horrible. That I would come back dying for something freshly prepared with my own two hands. That I would feel gross and weighed down by too-hearty breakfasts and unhealthy dinners. For most people, a week of fully-paid-for restaurant food would be a cause for celebration, not concern, but I was seriously worried. Turns out I was being a little bit […]

Detox

October 18, 2010 by katieatthekitchendoor

We’ve reached that point in the semester that’s like the Wednesday of a busy week – fall break already seems like it happened months ago, Thanksgiving is about 30 midterms away, the excitement of being back at school has worn off, and we’re tired. We need to be re-focused. We need a detox – a mental, physical, and emotional detox. My physical rejuvenation is getting a kick-start with my mom’s vegetarian chili. It’s one of my favorite recipes of all […]
