Tortilla and Cheddar Topped Beef, Bean and Bacon Casserole

September 8, 2012 By Laura 12 Comments

Like many parents, I am always on the lookout for ways to help out at my kids’ school, without, well, doing things that I hate the idea of doing. For example, some parents don’t mind working with accounting, and they end up holding the position of treasurer in their PTG or PTO. Bless those people…

Cranberry Chutney: For Thanksgiving and Otherwise

December 2, 2011 By Laura Leave a Comment

The first rule of cranberry chutney–any cranberry chutney–is that you should make a lot of it because its uses are many and varied and it will keep in your fridge for a good few weeks.  It also freezes well.  So the recipe below is quite large–but I served the chutney baked on top of brie…

Sweet Tomato Relish

February 23, 2009 By Laura 6 Comments

Agh! So frustrating! My computer is gone–AGAIN. So John decided to get a hard drive to back up the computer–something about how you can program a Mac to automatically back everything up if you have a second hard drive, and in a moment too difficult to explain (according to him) of “computer scientist stupidity” he…

June 15, 2008 By Laura 3 Comments

I have been on a tear lately with recipes found online. I’ve (temporarily of course) left my cookbooks behind! Too bad you cannot submit more than once a week to Bookmarked Recipes… I tend to go in spurts like this. It happens. Anyway, I made a note of this recipe as soon as I saw…

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…
