A Mother’s Love: Gingersnaps (Family Recipes)

October 31, 2009 By Laura 20 Comments

I apologize for the delay between posts–right before Sammy’s big birthday party, and right as my in laws rolled into town, I got bronchitis. Which eventually cleared up but turned into a sinus infection. Thank goodness for my in laws, who basically threw Sammy’s party for her while I hid in the bedroom. And thank…

Crusty Multi Grain Sandwich Bread

October 22, 2009 By Laura 10 Comments

For some reason, homemade bread season has been delayed around here–extra odd when you consider the chilly weather. But I finally got around to it earlier in the week when I made the Indian Spiced Pumpkin Lentil Stew. Granted, I realize that one might have expected Indian flatbread or basmati rice to accompany that stew,…

What A Winter!: Anadama Bread

Buttered Anadama Bread

This view is out back but mostly to the side of the house–those trees border the creek that runs through our land. Well I feel like I may as well be living in the northeast, so why not make that classic northeast sandwich loaf? Seriously, we got snow last year (I have only lived here…

So many of our (children) gift giving occasions are dominated by big gifts that they can share, but this…

Rolling Out Harvest Sunflower Cookies

September 27, 2008 By Laura 20 Comments

I mentioned a while back how much I hate rolling dough out. It is the bane of my existence. So when I knew I was going home to Columbus, I decided to ask my mom if she would make roll out cookies with me, so I could see what I am doing wrong and what…

Holy Moly What A Night… But What A Cookie, Too: Ginger Spice Crinkles

September 9, 2008 By Laura 12 Comments

I made Nancy Baggett’s Ginger Spice Crinkles last night, intending to enjoy 1 before bed. It was a somewhat stormy night when I went to bed, thunder rumbling in the distance. Radar showed a lot of red, but I was not convinced it would hit us–which I thought was too bad because boy do we…

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…
