Peanut Butter Candy Cups

November 23, 2010 By Laura 7 Comments

This is technically about 2-3 weeks overdue as a post about what to do with your Halloween candy. But the thing is, this is a great idea for anytime–I mean how cute are these cups? And so easy! And just as tasty with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms, Reece’s Pieces, or mini marshmallows–all of…

Salted Peanutty Brownie Bites

November 16, 2010 By Laura 12 Comments

I made the mistake of making these bars the weekend of Halloween, inbetween trick or treat nights. In my town, the kids trick or treat twice (once in a city celebration where the local businesses open their doors to trick-or-treaters and once in the more conventional house to house setting), so the kids already had…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake

August 25, 2010 By Laura 9 Comments

Things continue to move at a frazzled pace–which is why you will see a few pound cakes before you see any cookies again. Not that cookies are hard, but nothing takes less time than whipping up a loaf, bundt or tube cake–except maybe brownies. But I digress. The point is that we continue to hurdle…

Thai Chicken Satay

August 5, 2010 By Laura 8 Comments

This recipe ruined me for all other satay. Which is kind of a shame really because it is certainly more labor intensive than other satay. But it is oh so worth it. Because of the labor involved, I recommend doubling the paste recipe and freezing the remainder, so that the next time you want satay…

Salty Ancho Peanut Butter Cookies

July 30, 2010 By Laura 9 Comments

I got the idea for these cookies from the Rogue Bakery, a homemade, home-delivered cookie bakery in Columbus and Cleveland. I actually have not tried their spicy peanut butter cookies, but when I heard the owner/baker say ancho and peanut butter in the same tweet, I was instantly intrigued. (For what it’s worth, I have…

Thai Influenced Stir Fried Pork & Vegetables With Kaffir Peanut Sauce

April 6, 2010 By Laura 5 Comments

To think that 3 years ago this week the Cleveland Indians’ home opener was canceled for snow–as were the subsequent 3 games. Not this opening day– the Midwest is experiencing shockingly wonderful early April weather. The last week has seen more hot days than we had in all of July last year (I exaggerate but…

M&M Peanut Butter Shortbread Bars

January 20, 2010 By Laura 6 Comments

One of the things about having a food blog, is that your blogging skills improve over time. Especially your photography (who knew you were not ‘sposed to use a flash? I sure did not!). So even though I have shared this recipe before, I am going to share it again, because many fo you were…

Salty Sweet Peanut Butter Granola With Chocolate Chips

January 8, 2010 By Laura 7 Comments

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola--salty, sweet, and addictive for eating out of hand! Healthy with nuts and whole grains also!

There is a refrigerator–a little small, maybe 21 cubic feet?, bottom freezer drawer–sitting in my front hallway right now. My parents are re-doing their kitchen, and I got the prize of the fridge! I have been dying for a second fridge in the basement for a while now. Right now, in the winter, overflow goes…

A New Look For Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

May 16, 2009 By Laura 13 Comments

What is it about kids that brings out the over the top in us?  Indeed, might I say, garish in us?   I would not normally put 1 cup of peanut butter chips, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 bag of baking M&Ms and 1 bag of baking peanut butter cups into a double batch of my Sweet…

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…
