Flank Steak with Blueberry Balsamic Sauce

Hey, y’all.

I'm Kathryn, and I love food. I'm also joyfully exhausted (hence the name!) raising two small kids and working full-time.
Here you'll find mostly healthy and quick (30 minutes or less) meals that are flavorful and delicious and can be made while getting poked in the eye or tripping on small legos. I also have a major sweet tooth, so I'm all about moderation over here.

Mmmm...Oreo crust, silky smooth chocolate espresso filling, and some whipped cream and extra chocolate as a bonus. Drooling yet? 🤤 This Chocolate Espresso Silk Pie should be on your list this weekend! You know where to find it.

When you love chocolate but you also need coffee from your 3 yo waking up four times last night, you need to make a Chocolate Espresso Silk Pie (and your 3 month old nephew is in town sleeping 8 hour stretches 🙄). It’s got an Oreo crust that’s perfectly crispy and easy to make, a whipped, decadent chocolate filling that includes fresh espresso, then it’s all topped with a generous amount of whipped cream and extra chocolate shavings for good measure. This was our choice of dessert for for Thanksgiving dinner and it’ll likely be made at least a couple more times before year’s end.

Rosemary and Honey Glazed Hasselback Butternut Squash...woooo! Say that 5 times fast. This was my dinner tonight while the kids ate frozen dinosaur chicken nuggets. I backed into a concrete pylon going decently fast causing so much damage to the back of my car, so I had a one item limit to my cooking today. 😫😫 (No kids in the car thank God!) Life goes on but @#*%! I feel like an idiot. .
.
Just posted the recipe to these beauts. If you’ve never hasselbacked anything, give it a whirl! It makes for a pretty presentation and is so delicious because you have more butternut squash real estate that’s covered in the caramelized rosemary and honey glaze. Plus, there’s something about the sharp knife cutting that helps relieve frustration. 😝

I’m taking “making spirits bright” to a whole new level. 😆

This is the third and final cranberry post. Cranberry week is officially over but it’s ending with some bubbly (the best way to end anything IMHO...especially a long day). So festive with the fresh cranberries and sprig of rosemary, right?! And the cinnamon sugar rim is a must. Check it out on the blog! 😘😘

While y’all are eating pies for dessert tomorrow, I’ll be eating 🍫 CHOCOLATE 🍫 ! This Double Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache is the most popular recipe on my site for a reason. It has loads of high-quality chocolate and has a really nice, dense-but-not-gummy texture, and then it’s covered in a simpler than simple chocolate ganache. My kind of dessert. .

Are you Team Canned Cranberry Sauce or Team Fresh? .

I’m on the cranberry train this week, and today’s recipe is this easy, 5-ingredient Cranberry Orange Sauce. Perfectly tart, balanced with some sweetness, and a hint of citrus. I also talk about the many ways I use cranberry sauce after the holidays because there are some really cool ways to use leftovers that are almost more exciting than the OG. I picked up some fun ways from @eatvoraciously , too. Read about them on the blog @wornslapout ❤️❤️

Cranberry muffins are something my mom would always have on the Thanksgiving table. Now I’m stepping up my game and making sure they’re on mine this week. ❤️❤️ Catch that recipe on the site. It’s new! .

Where do I even begin? It’s been a crazy few days for our family, and now it’s capped off by C having strep. 😷😷 ‘Tis the season for chaos. ‘Tis also the season for cranberries. Did you know that cranberries are basically a superfood, too because of their high anti-oxidant and nutrient content? Two cranberry recipes are coming at you soon for your festive, holiday table: cranberry and orange sauce and my mom’s cranberry muffins. Stay tuned!

So thankful for another trip around the sun! John made me pots de creme to celebrate, but this was tiramisu from Sunday night when we had company. It was boozy and delicious thanks to the recipe from @sallysbakeblog . Kinda perfect for the coldest of cold days like today! 🥶🥶

Whatcha know about parsnips? They’re the forgotten root vegetable for most people, but they’re readily available at any grocery store this time of year. They’re sweet like carrots but with a nuttier, earthier taste. I’m a fan, and my 5year old was also a fan when roasted until crispy. I’m not sure whether he was starving to death and desperate or really loved them because they’re *that* delicious, but these Crispy Roasted Parsnips with Thyme are easy to make and have a shoestring French fry texture that almost makes you think you’re eating a healthy French fry. I’m not kidding. I think they’re *that* delicious. Check them out on the blog 👉🏼👉🏼 wornslapout.com to learn more.

These #glutenfree chocolate donuts are from @rosesandwhiskers and they just do not disappoint! The only thing I changed was the frosting - I used the same ganache I use in my chocolate bundt cake because I was running out of time before taking the kids to soccer practice and that ganache takes one minute. 🤣 And @kingarthurflour ‘s measure for measure gluten free flour worked out perfectly without any texture issues. I’m inspired to create more gluten free desserts!

Have you had acorn squash? It’s a great vegetable to make on the weekend. It doesn’t require a lot of fuss but it does require some oven time. If you want to see a step-by-step guide to roasting acorn squash with this sausage and cranberry stuffing, check out the blog. It’s so yummy, #lowcarb and #glutenfree because it’s made with whole grains. Happy Friday, y’all! ❤️❤️

What’s your favorite day of the week and why? Mine is Thursdays because it’s the anticipation of the weekend. It’s just a happy feeling knowing the weekend is coming. I also usually don’t plan anything on Thursdays so they’re less stressful. .

This is my banana bread recipe baked into these little tarts. Half I left plain to eat for breakfast and the other half became dessert when drizzled with a little chocolate. .

Tomorrow is Thursday!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

3.5 years old and she’s said her first curse word out of anger: “DAMMICK!” 🤣🤣 And this weekend when @georgiafootball wasn’t looking as good as we normally do she repeated it. At least she can use it in the appropriate, most important contexts. Right?!

Sometimes I can focus on all of the crappy things about daylight savings time and not think about all of the great things that come with this time of year...like the mornings! It’s nice to have the sun shining when you wake up instead of it being dark and gloomy, right? ☀️☀️

This Orzo Soup with Sausage and Spinach is a mix between a chicken noodle soup and minestrone, and it’s a great, easy meal to whip up for a few cold-weather, dark nights. It’s packed with flavor from the sausage and fresh herbs, and the nutty cannellini beans and orzo give the soup some heartiness and texture. The recipe’s new on the blog today!

I don’t know if it’s actually #nationalchocolateday today because in my eyes, every day is Nat’l Chocolate Day. My chocolate dessert of choice for the last few months has been these Dark Chocolate Pots de Creme a la @lediplomatedc style. Creamy, custardy chocolate topped with whipped cream and chocolate nibs (that word!) from @surlatable . The best part is this dessert can be done in only about 30 minutes. You can search for them on the blog!

Sharing more Halloween fun this evening...and more things that don’t require a lot of your time. 🎃
🎃
Take dinner for example: If I’m spending a long time on my meat (maybe marinating or searing or otherwise being more fussy), I go easy on the vegetables and do something that doesn’t take a long time to prep or cook...say, roasted asparagus that has olive oil, salt and pepper and goes in the oven for 7 minutes. 🎃
🎃
Same philosophy applies with these cookies. If I’m decorating these cookies with the kids, I’m not going to make sugar cookie dough and frosting from scratch. It just ain’t gonna happen. These bad boys can be baked in 10 minutes thanks to store bought products and we can move on to the fun part...well, the fun part is actually eating. You can read about them by searching “mummy” on the blog.
