Cardamom Vanilla Pancakes

May 12, 2016 By Laura 9 Comments

Cardamom Vanilla Pancakes

Cardamom Vanilla Pancakes are thick and fluffy pancakes, tangy with sour cream and fragrant with cardamom and vanilla. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. This was destined to either be a short and sweet post or a long and rambling overwrought post. Because that stress I said I was under?…

Bacon Ricotta (Blue) Corn Cakes; Review of Bacon 24/7

Braised Brisket with Corn and Shredded Cheese on Bacon Ricotta Corn Cakes

Bacon Ricotta Corn Cakes are the perfect canvas for something luscious and savory, like this slow cooked brisket or even a fried egg. I was sent a free copy of Bacon 24/7: Recipes for Curing, Smoking, and Eating by the publisher for purposes of reviewing it. Affiliate links were used in this post, but only to…

Gingerbread Pancakes

October 17, 2012 By Laura 9 Comments

We seriously believe in birthdays in this house. OK, *I* seriously believe in birthdays, and so my kids do now too. I am not sure John had a huge say in the matter. But anyway, that explains why it does not phase me in the least to cook for 4 different birthday celebrations per kid.

Crispy Rosemary Asiago Flatbread

October 15, 2010 By Laura 9 Comments

Confession time. I did not acquire the pasta roller set for my Kitchen Aid mixer to make pasta. I actually did it to make crackers. But then I got intimidated, certain the dough would stick (not being intended for a pasta roller) and finked out of trying it. What a fool I can be. This…

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…

Happy Belated World Bread Day!: Besan Thepla (Griddle Baked Chickpea & Whole Wheat Flat Bread)

October 17, 2008 By Laura 3 Comments

This is the bread I actually made for World Bread Day. It seemed fitting that I both stretch myself as a bread baker and choose a bread more international in scope. I chose this bread because it could be baked on the griddle, on my stove top, as opposed to a complicated simulated clay oven…

Ground Beef & Bulghur Kibbe With Whole Wheat & Cornmeal Socca: Emphasis On The Socca

September 8, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

I almost forgot to tell you guys about this meal, which would have been nearly a sin. The “main” dish, the kibbe, were good, but the socca, the flatbread, stole the show. It was out of this world. It would be just plain wrong to not tell you about it. I actually started with the…

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…

Black Beans With Mango Sauce & Savory Corn Cakes with Chipotle Cream

June 10, 2008 By Laura 3 Comments

I was reading The Days Are Just Packed and experienced the strongest feeling of wishing desperately I had been present for a meal Vicci made: Black Beans With Mango Sauce & Savory Corn Cakes with Chipotle Cream. YUM. Since it looked so easy, the ingredients all immediately went onto my grocery list—I have trouble with…

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…
