Buttermilk Cheddar Bread

September 11, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

September 7, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

OK, I know what some of you are thinking, but contrary to the photos we do not eats ginourmous stacks of pancakes every morning. That just made a better picture. But it is true that I crave starchy sweets upon awakening the way some people crave coffee. So I decided, rather than fight this, I…

Laura’s Not 7 Grain Multi Grain Honey Bread

May 12, 2008 By Laura 1 Comment

The women in my family do not believe in following recipes. Some of us, like my mom, are rather belligerent about it. 🙂 Others, like my sister, are just disdainful toward recipes. I used to be this way as well—and still am when cooking—but for the most part I have become a believer in pretty…

Ultra Lemon Bundt Cake

May 8, 2008 By Laura 10 Comments

Hi all! Sorry for the wait—this next recipe is, as you will see, not precisely complicated but it was a long one to write, and, well, John is out of town again, this time for 5 days. It’s been a little exhausting to say the least. I made this cake for my playgroup—I was not…

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,…

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…

The Taste of Home: Butternut Squash Soup & Homemade Bread

January 20, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

Nothing quite tastes like home to me as much as homemade bread and soup. When I was young and I was sick, Mom always hauled out the Beef and Vegetable Soup—either she got it from the freezer or she made it fresh—and made homemade bread. To this day I desperately crave broth in particular when…

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.
