Whole Wheat Honey Spiced Apple Breakfast Bundtlettes: #BundtBakers

August 21, 2014 By Laura 12 Comments

Whole Wheat Honey Spiced Apple Breakfast Bundtlettes

Do you react to danger, so to speak, after the danger has passed? Are you calm and collected until it is over, and that is when you break down or otherwise react? That’s me. I got the clean bill of health and “don’t come back” from the oncologist today, and somehow the entire day was…

June 16, 2014 By Laura 6 Comments

Blueberry lemon Crumble Pie: You will not believe how EASY this pie crust is!!!!

Lemony Blueberry Crumb Pie is a delicious celebration of fresh blueberries and summer; the entire family devoured it and yours will too. Teeny’s Tour of Pie was sent to me for free in exchange for an honest review. Affiliate links were used in this post, but only to link to items I would be discussing and linking…

Chocolate Cookie-Pecan-Toffee Streusel Topped Chocolate Muffins

Dark Chocolate Muffins Topped with Pecan-Cookie Streusel

It has been a weird week around here. It has been a while since I have gotten so behind in recipes. That awesome Mexican chicken soup I made fed us for 3 nights. It did its work too, as I am feeling better, instead of descending into a sinus infection as frequently happens.

Streusel Topped Apple Oatmeal Bars: Creative Cookie Exchange

Pecan and Oat Streusel Topped Oatmeal Bars with Dried Apples and Cranberries

It’s time for another Creative Cookie Exchange! This time our theme is a very seasonal apples; I love apple desserts and dishes in the fall, so the choice was really a no brainer. Anything apple counts–I am kind of embarrassed to admit that in this time of (fresh picked apple) plenty, I used dried. Picture…

Pecan Chocolate Bars: Creative Cookie Exchange

Pecan Oat Chocolate Bars

I am super excited to share my latest blogging event with you guys! It is called Creative Cookie Exchange, and, well, I started it! This makes me feel extra brave, which probably makes you think I don’t get out much. I love Chocolate Party and Bundtamonth, and I really wanted a similar group for cookies….

Streusel Apple Bundt Cake: #Bundtamonth

September 6, 2013 By Laura 24 Comments

Spiced Apple Bundt Cake Layered with Pecan Streusel

There was a mishap. A mishap we shall not speak of. There might have been screaming. And yelling. Tears even. Because I am serious about bundt cakes, and especially this one, made to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Bundtamonth (theme: fancy!) and made as dessert for a dinner that night with guests.

Bakeless Brownies: Review of Bakeless Sweets

No Bake Chocolate Bars with Pecans

You know what they say about assuming…. I write this post in sincere humility, to demonstrate that even experienced bakers such as myself, who routinely instruct others of you how to bake on this website, are capable of making absolutely ridiculous mistakes. Alas. And sometimes we even do it when it really counts, such as…

Bacon Lace Cookies

Bacon and Pecan Lace Cookies

I know it probably seems like The Spiced Life has gone bacon crazy lately, but as I mentioned in the Bacon and Farro Salad post,  I just fell hard and fell quickly for Bacon Nation: 125 Irresistible Recipes. At the same time, I needed a recipe that could stand up to shipping, i.e., not go…

Cranberry Pecan Orange Coffee Cake

January 5, 2011 By Laura 16 Comments

In past years I have served a more loaded, protein-rich breakfast on Christmas morning, but I have realized that is kind of foolish given how late we get up. Also, my in-laws were with us this year for Christmas, which meant I made a more involved Christmas Eve dinner which meant in turn that I…

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…
