Best Waffles Ever, A.K.A. Classic Buttermilk Waffles

July 6, 2010 By Laura 9 Comments

I bet you all thought my new waffle iron was gathering dust. Admit it, you did. That I had purchased a unitasker of the worst kind and after having played with it for a while, it was now sitting lonely and neglected somewhere. Not so fast, my friend! (Any Lee Corso fans in the house?)…

Atlanta’s Highland Bakery: A Review and A Recipe

June 22, 2010 By Laura 3 Comments

All pics are of my cornbread–I did not take a camera into the Bakery with me. With 2 small kids I think I’d have to be crazy to attempt that! Have you been wondering what Twitter can do for you? 2 weeks ago I posted some comment or question about my trip to Atlanta and…

Playing With A New Toy: All Clad Waffle Maker & Buttermilk Waffles

May 7, 2010 By Laura 16 Comments

I am a breakfast junkie. My friends from the south always said I would make a great Southerner when it comes to breakfast, as I like it pretty much not good for you at all. There must be something sweet; when I am dining out first choice is Belgian waffle, then French toast. Dining in,…

Cornbreads On The Side

March 31, 2010 By Laura 10 Comments

I am out of town on Spring Break (but don’t even think about robbing me–my dogs will eat you) so you are getting a double feature bonus post. Bonus because I might not have normally shared these muffins, seeing as I have no pictures of them. However they are of a theme with the pancakes…

The Spiced Life Family Sweet Rolls

November 30, 2009 By Laura 21 Comments

John: “Are these healthier than your family’s sweet rolls?” Me: “Yes, probably.” John (said with sadness): “I can taste it.” Me: “Well would you eat them (as well as the family sweet rolls) if you had both?” John: (An incredulous look) This was our conversation about whether I would serve 2 kinds of rolls at…

Maple Buttermilk Cornmeal Rolls

November 25, 2009 By Laura 16 Comments

My family has one dish that is served at absolutely every single Big Occasion (and many small ones too). The family pig roast, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter (when we were growing up–now we are rarely home), any occasion on which all 4 of my mother’s children are under the same roof, you name it. It is…

Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake, Preferably Naked

October 18, 2009 By Laura 11 Comments

I was torn about whether to post this cake. You always want whatever you post to be your best effort or as nice as you know you could make it. But, knowing that I just made this cake, the soonest I would re-make it is probably next fall. And there is NOTHING wrong with the…

Dairy Hollow House Skillet-Sizzled Cornbread

August 31, 2009 By Laura 8 Comments

You guys might remember that a while back I picked up a vegetarian cookbook called Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon. She apparently caught wind of my post, and actually emailed me about it. She was extremely complimentary about my post (truly I did a happy dance around the kitchen when I got her email) and…

100% Whole Wheat Pancakes

April 22, 2009 By Laura 17 Comments

Someone save me from buying an ebelskiver pancake pan. Williams and Sonoma keeps sending me their catalog and in each one they have all these gorgeous photos of powdered sugar dusted fat, airy pancakes stuffed with all sorts of goodness. At first I thought, eh, whatever, what a uni-tasker. Now with each new catalog however…

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…
