Some Kitchen Photos & Some Inadvertantly Gooey Peppermint Brownies

February 13, 2009 By Laura 12 Comments

My mother’s favorite part of my new kitchen is the pantry. It is a step in, which means you can step 1, maybe 2 steps into it, but it is long and has shelves at each end also. The photo to the left is the view of the left from the inside. The photos in…

It’s Been A Long Time… "Baked" Brownies

January 11, 2009 By Laura 15 Comments

It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a brownie recipe with chocolate (as opposed to cocoa powder only), but I guess it has also been a long time since you have heard from me.  So I’ll start with the new year first! First, we have moved–and we only just found the wire I need to…

My House Smells Like Christmas: Alice Medrich’s Best Cocoa Brownies With A Peppermint Twist

October 12, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

OK, I have several posts burbling around inside of me, so provided I get them typed, I think you should hear from me a little more often this week. These brownies were inspired by a thread on the Cooking Light Bulletin Board. Someone posted a question about doubling this recipe, and then somehow the thread…

The Aroma Of…? Mancatcher Cocoa Brownies

August 24, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

Is there anything so wrong as fresh baked goods you cannot smell? Brownies coming out of the oven that might as well be mud? Boy I hope this does not last. Supposedly it could last as long as 3 months, and anything longer would be in the realm of incredibly rare (and even 3 months…

Taste & Create: HoneyB’s Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies

August 23, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

That’s a bit of a mouthful! But I found the recipe on HoneyB’s blog–but she in turn found it on another site, posted by Brooke, apparently. 🙂Anyhoo, in a fit of deviated septum induced madness I signed up for Taste and Create this month. I don’t know *what* I was thinking–since we do not get…

These Cream Cheese Swirled Brownies are a decadent family favorite--and sure to become one of your favorite desserts too!

These Cream Cheese Brownies are the best I’ve tried and the only recipe I use. These photos were updated as of October 2015, and in the intervening years the recipe has been used for cakewalks, birthdays and just to make us happy. Sammy especially adores them! Affiliate links have been used to link to items…

OMG Good Peanut Butter Brownies

Peanut Butter Brownies

One of the food oriented websites I like best–and the only board I contribute to–is the Cooking Light bulletin board (CLBB). My sister, Josie, apparently perusing The Savory Notebook blog (which is written by a CLBB member) came across this recipe, found where it was discussed on the CLBB (here), bumped it back in line,…

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.
