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?…

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…

Sliced Tomato on Corn Flatbread with Bacon Basil Mayonnaise

You guys may be seeing more cookbook reviews around here. I decided I do so many of them for free and on my own dime, I might as well reach out to various publishers and see if they would send me review copies of the books I am interested in. And they did! This blogging…

Triple Chocolate Pancakes with Hot Chocolate Sauce & Whipped Cream

November 17, 2012 By Laura 8 Comments

For Sammy’s family birthday meal, when John and I gave her our presents, she requested breakfast for dinner. Although I love breakfast for dinner, it left me with a dilemma. I don’t usually serve dessert when we have breakfast for dinner, because we love breakfast dishes like pancakes, waffles and French toast. in other words,…

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.

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…

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…

Sunday Brunch Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

October 13, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

I have this issue with blueberry pancakes that I know puts me in a solid minority (in the blueberry pancake-eating world, I mean 🙂 ). I just do not like maple syrup (or the imitations) on blueberries. The flavors somehow clash for me. Instead I like my blueberry pancakes sweet–almost, but not quite, as sweet…

"Lazy" Sunday Morning Apple Pancakes

October 5, 2008 By Laura 7 Comments

Boy has it been a rough week around here. I can’t point to anything that interesting or earth-shattering, but I am exhausted. We did have a small crisis with the kitchen design and window placement with the house that took up way too much mental energy, so maybe it is just a sign that now…

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…
