I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really excited to stuff my face next week. We’re going back up to MA to spend Christmas with Dan’s family (who I’ve already mentioned are all fabulous cooks), and I just know that there will be so many holiday goodies to eat. Cookies galore, of course. At…read more »
Thirsty Thursdays: Strawberry-Pineapple Agua Frescas
Now that the days are getting a little warmer (but not today…wtf, 60 degrees + rain?), I’ve decided to start a new blog series called “Thirsty Thursdays”. Pretty self explanatory – I’m gonna post a drink recipe every Thursday, and give some link love to recipes from other bloggers that I love and/or want to…read more »
Blackberry-Mint Limeade
A few weeks ago, in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo, I went to BJ’s and bought a giant sackful of limes. Fresh-squeezed, homemade margaritas are the best, you know? But when I got home with my citrus haul, I remembered that I was (still am…T-3 weeks!) supposed to be training for my first ever race and therefore not supposed to be…read more »
Blackberry-Mint Lemonade
Weekend in Chico aside, it’s been a very mild summer. Unlike last year, there hasn’t been a single day so far where I’ve felt like it’s too hot to go on living. No 100+ degree days with a billion percent humidity. No relentlessly sunny days without a hint of cloud cover. It’s actually been a…read more »
Lemonade Spritzers with Berry Ice Cubes
Last weekend Dan and I flew to Chico, CA for our friends’ Sarah and Lucas’s wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was amazing (Sarah is a DIY genius), and the BBQ was the best I’ve ever eaten. But, it was a little hot. Like…holy-crap-it’s-110-degrees-are-those-tears-or-are-my-eyeballs-sweating hot. Luckily, Lucas and Sarah are smart, and provided a…read more »
Cherry-Berry Frozen Mojitos
Today was the nicest day we’ve had in a while — clear skies, high of 70, lots of sun, and no wind. It was a day meant to be spent outside. So, instead of lounging around our condo being lazy like we usually do on Saturdays, Dan and I decided to revive our balcony garden….read more »
No-Churn Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
For my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to be low key. I figured since I’ve already started selectively forgetting how old I am, it’s probably silly to make a big deal about my “special day” with the usual group dinner party/bar-hopping extravaganza. So instead, Dan and I celebrated my 27th a few days…read more »
Strawberry Banana Daiquiris
Dan can tell you that I’ve gone a little smoothie crazy lately. Those green smoothies from last weekend were the first smoothies I’ve had in ages, and guys? Smoothies are delicious! And, if you sneak in some leafy greens and high protein yogurt, they’re pretty good for you too! I’m a fan. So much of…read more »
Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse
Oh man, guys. I just realized that I missed my blog’s 3-year anniversary! Goddamnit. February was a terrible time for blogging, and I am a terrible blogger. But hey, better late than never, right? So, happy 3 years, Just Putzing Around the Kitchen! And, dear readers, thanks for sticking around so long! Have some strawberry…read more »
Chocolate Covered Bride and Groom Strawberries…and a Giveaway! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED]
A few days ago I got a text from my friend Sarah (and fellow food blogger) at 2am. It was a picture of a ring, and said simply “wanna plan a wedding?” In my half-asleep state, I didn’t fully process the message and just rolled back over in bed. It wasn’t until I woke up the…read more »
