Dulce De Leche Pound Cake

September 27, 2010 By Laura 16 Comments

Dulce de Leche Pound Cake is a delicious way to enjoy the rich and indulgent flavor of milk caramel. Pictures of the whole cake were updated in November 2017. Much like exercise, there is a rhythmic routine to cooking dinner for your family. Unlike baking, which I do to relax at my own convenience, dinner…

Dulce de Leche Swirled Marshmallows

September 22, 2010 By Laura 13 Comments

I do lead an interesting life, don’t I? That’s 3 surgeries since the start of this blog and 11 total over my lifetime. The good news–in addition to the fact that I got the infected appendix 12 hours before it ruptured (that’s an approximate guess by the doctor), is that having removed now 2 organs…

Molasses Ginger Granola Bars

Molasses Ginger Granola Bars--delicious, easy, unique and allergy friendly!

Well I still don’t have the marshmallows to share. I want to tweak just a few last things–for a 4th batch (most of the 3rd was enjoyed by John’s students lest you think we have turned into marshmallows around here). It’s a hard job, making all these marshmallows, but someone has to do it. In…

Stir Fried Tamarind Shrimp

September 12, 2010 By Laura 7 Comments

I’ve been trying to figure out why my blogging has slowed down lately, when I realized that I did the majority of my writing late at night–the same as I did all the way through high school, college and law school. Only now I have to get a kid to school by 8:45 am–and while…

Stir Fried Tamarind Shrimp

You’ve probably noticed the dearth of desserts around The Spiced Life lately. That is partially because we’ve made some tried and true favorites lately, but it is also because I have 2 different recipes that I am determined to not share until I get them right! One is an unusual granola bar, and the other,…

Comfort Kheema

September 5, 2010 By Laura 10 Comments

First, some housekeeping: last winter I was contacted by a representative from Meijer about trying some of their products. Meijer at the time was my favorite local grocery store–ever since the Kroger’s has been renovated, I would call Meijer the most economical and the best one stop shopping, but the renovated Kroger’s outshines it some…

Kishmish Waale Thane Ki Dal (Sweet Hot Yellow Split Peas with Golden Raisins)

September 3, 2010 By Laura 5 Comments

So, my mother came to visit and actually requested Indian food. I had made a quick Indian potatoes, peas and cauliflower dish in Nags Head which she liked–apparently a lot. Once my head had stopped spinning, I started thinking about what I could make for lunch, since my dinner was already planned. The fact that…

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…
