Oh man, am I ever excited to share this recipe with you guys. Hands down, this is my new summer jam for dinner. It was so incredibly easy to whip up, it was AWESOME tasting, and the best part, it made it look like I really knew what I was doing. This is a dinner…
Disney on a Dime – Tickets
Alright, this is probably the simplest advice I can give people. Unless you are staying on Disney Property, and buying tickets through Disney to get a bundle deal (like free dining), do not buy your tickets from Disney. Be careful though. For every honest and legitimate place selling tickets, there are hundreds (especially in the…
Disney on a Dime – Introduction
I’ve been going to Disney World in Florida forever. Seriously, as far as my life is concerned, it’s been forever. I’ve been horrifically spoiled by parents and grandparents growing up, which created in me a love (nay, need) of Disney so strong that I just have to find a way to get our family there…
Calamari with Hot Peppers
Today’s recipe is brought to you by Sophie and I, as she is insisting on sitting on my lap while I type. Awesome. A little over six years ago Bo and I had the best meal of our lives. It was on our honeymoon, when we got back to Florida from the Bahamas, and we…
BBQ Style Baked Chicken Thighs
This is one of the easiest chicken dinners that I make, and it also happens to be one of Bo’s favourites. Writing it out for you is probably going to take me three times as long to do as getting this dinner in the oven, and I’ve only got 15 minutes to spare right now….
A Long Overdue Introduction
Hi, I’m Katrina, the incredible talent (cough) behind Kitchen Trials, and this is me right now. Ok, actually, that was me 15 minutes ago. I took the picture to start off the post, then that little bundle hanging off my chest wouldn’t stop fussing after a day of throwing up on everything, so I needed…
Easy Lemon Sugar Cookies
A new blog post, and only 11 days after Sophie joined the family. This is proof that I’m running on the fumes of a crazy sleepless person. I have a helper for these ones, yesterday Anna wanted to make some cookies for Oliver’s after school snack. I think she probably just plain wanted to make…
Happy Valentines Day!
Bo and I are spending today in the hospital… Because our baby girl has decided to make her appearance! I couldn’t ask for a better present, and I got the one up on Bo by remembering to bring his card. It just keeps getting better. Intrepid food blogger that I am, I’ve sent him on…
Potato and Corn Chowder with Pancetta
It’s winter, and this one has been a REAL winter. Tons of snow, a bunch of ridiculously cold days, and that feeling of wanting to do nothing more than wrap up in a blanket in front of the fire. As a side note, man do I ever wish we had a wood burning fireplace, gas…
Pumpkin Cake Cookies with Brown Butter Icing
This is a recipe I’ve literally been meaning to get up on the site for years. It’s hands down my favorite holiday recipe, and one that I make every year for Thanksgiving. Except for last year, because last year I couldn’t find where I put the recipe (which is why I really need to get…
Sausage Crostini
Alright, this has to be one of the quickest and easiest things you’ll find to make. The day I made these, I did them as a side. I made some fresh cheese ravioli in a light tomato sauce, and I knew that Bo would be looking for a hit of meat somewhere (he’s not a…
A very brief update.
Sorry all. This website has been severely lacking the past few months. I don’t have a great excuses, but I do have a legitimate one. I’ve been sick. Really sick. And the kind of sick that gets worse with food, so I didn’t cook very much. It’ll be worth it in about 6 more months…
Rhubarb Custard Pie
This is a recipe that I’ve been trying to get up for a year. The problem: this isn’t a pretty pie, so I’ve had a hell of a time trying to get a decent picture of the finished product. That doesn’t matter though, because this is, hands down, my favourite pie. All credit goes to…
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
It’s been a while, but I’ve been meaning to update on the regular. Even if it’s just to get a little record of all the ridiculous, adorable, hilarious things these two do and say. Today though, today has been rough. Oliver has not slept enough in weeks, and it’s finally caught up. This means a…
Summer Salad with Cantaloupe, Bocconcini, Prosciutto and Mint
Alright, getting back in to the swing of things around here with a super quick and easy salad. It’s delicious too. What isn’t delicious about juicy balls of fresh melon, soft mild cheese, salty cured meat, and brisk mint. I mean honestly, I could probably eat this daily for a month before I was sick…
Italian Style Sausage and Peppers
I’ve been making this dish for a while now, but it always felt like there was something missing in it. I had gone through a bunch of different recipes, but they were all variations of the same. It wasn’t until I got this great cookbook to review “Lidia’s Favorite Recipes by Lidia Bastianich” that it…
