I Finally Got Around To Trying Baked Oatmeal

July 30, 2008 By Laura 2 Comments

Once upon a time I had one of those pull out garbage cans. Although it got kind of dirty, I’ve always wanted another one and am planning to incorporate it into the dream kitchen (within budget, haha) I am designing. My sister asked me why, since it got so messy. This is why (and no…

BBD #12: Welsh (Pan)Cakes

July 27, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

I would not be sharing this recipe except for the fact that it is my Bread Baking Day submission. That’s not an auspicious beginning is it? They were not awful but to say they were not worth the work when you could make scones instead is an understatement. But to me half the point of…

Blueberry Buckle

July 23, 2008 By Laura 12 Comments

I am so tired I can barely type. How do single parents do it? I mean, John has gone out of town plenty of times before, but never when we were in crisis mode of some sort. I’m dying here! Ironically we are making progress with Sammy (I think, anyway, unless last night was a…

Portuguese Sweet Bread

July 2, 2008 By Laura 11 Comments

When we woke up Monday morning it was brisk in our house. This is not that unusual—we have had a few nights in the 50’s where we turned off the A.C. and opened the windows, leading to early morning chilliness in the house. The difference Monday was that it stayed cool. Really cool—maybe low 70’s…

A Tornado and A Whole Grain Blueberry Buckle Coffeecake

June 5, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

I am on the verge of getting behind, mostly because of all of the storms we have had here lately. Oy the excitement! I mean I usually like storms, but hiding out (alone mind you since John was at a conference) with 2 toddlers in a seriously icky flooding cellar/basement is NOT my idea of…

Ice Bound and Virus-Ridden: Granola, Double Chocolate Shortbread and Smoky Blacky Bean Soup

February 13, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

Ice Bound Part I: The Care Package We are ice bound here, ice bound and sick. It does not make for a good combination, especially because my husband is one of those adults who sees snow/ice days as a nuisance. I am the opposite, which means we are at odds—I always think we should make…

A Use For Those Spare Egg Whites: Laura’s Health(ier) Whole Wheat Pancakes

January 31, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

I seem to have encountered a lot of recipes lately requiring egg yolks. And my sister had me thinking about pancakes from her post about King Arthur’s pancake recipe [her blog no longer exists so I have no link for you]. So last night when I was thinking about these egg whites I had sitting…

Eggs!

January 5, 2008 By Laura 1 Comment

I wouldn’t normally post about these dishes, since they are very simple out-of-my-head creations, ones that you probably have all made at some time or another. I probably won’t even bother posting full fledged recipes or pictures unless someone asks. But I made such a rich brunch in celebration of something I did want to…

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…
