Conquering Blueberries and Streusel: Zach’s Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins with Streusel Topping

April 13, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

I have a new favorite cookbook! I just cannot keep out of Carole Walter’s Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More. It has all of my favorite baked goods, and the bundt cake selection is especially impressive. I have been cooking a lot of simple, healthy meals, frequently repeats for us, not really blog-worthy,…

Bill Yosses’ Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 10, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

I think I have returned to the land of the living. Of course I am so behind on absolutely everything, that it still may be a few days before you see regular posts here from me. But I did promise you a spectacular chocolate chip cookie recipe. We were just discussing the other day how…

French Canadian Sausage & Apple Pie with Cheddar Cheese

April 7, 2008 By Laura 1 Comment

So it turns out I have allergies AND I still have a bad sinus infection. So I will keep this short and sweet—because although I felt better this past weekend, when my brother came to visit and I made him this dish as well as a cookie recipe I have not had the energy to…

At Long Last: Kandahari Chicken Curry

April 5, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

I think we are all feeling better—although the kids’ noses are still running and I am still occasionally beset by awful sinus pain. I think that may be why I got so sick in the first time—I think a regular old cold probably coincided with the first bad tree pollen. We are new to the…

My Best Blondies

April 2, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

Best Blondies: this has been my tried and true standby recipe for at least a decade. My family adores these with just about any chip, chunk, nut or candy mixed in--you choose!

My Best Blondies are like old friends in my kitchen; they are flexible to different chips, chunks and nuts, and are there when I need them. Probably one of the most made recipes in my kitchen, I have been asked for this recipe countless times. I don’t have anything savory to share with you for…

Slowly re-entering the land of the living through tags….

April 2, 2008 By Laura 2 Comments

Well I am finally on the upswing, although my home is still a house of germy horrors (the kids have been hacking all night). It pretty much peaked last weekend (that bundt cake was from last week, it just took me that long to post it), at which point I wanted to die. But no…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
