Boston, MA

March 30, 2017

Since the weather is starting to warm up a bit, I've been getting the urge to travel more. Last weekend Pat and I went up to Boston - he stayed with his brother and I stayed with my friend, Elyse, who lives in a charming apartment in the North End. Every time I go to Boston I like it more. There are so many restaurants, cool little neighborhoods and after living in NYC, I appreciate going to any city that is easily walkable. 

We ate at three amazing places over the weekend - Monument in Charlestown, Neptune Oyster in the North End, and Loco Taqueria and Oyster Bar in the South End. Each place was uniquely amazing, but I think my favorite was Neptune Oyster. I was craving something super savory and salty and the lobster roll I had was truly incredible. If you're from the Northeast, you know that lots of people battle over whether lobster rolls are better cold with mayo (Maine style) or hot with butter (Connecticut style). I am in the Connecticut style fan club and the roll at Neptune Oyster was perfectly buttery and salty, and the bun was crispy and soaked up all of the butter. It was truly one of the most perfect meals and I am still thinking about it.

It was also great to catch up with some of my college friends. I've found that it's so important to stay in touch with people you care about, so I've been trying to make more of an effort to do so. During the week I normally feel too busy so it was nice to get away for a weekend and do a lot of laughing and relaxing.

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
