Traditional Irish American Soda Bread

Traditional Irish American Scones

Soda bread: it’s not just for St. Patrick’s Day anymore. OK, so that is a little misleading, because as usual I did make this for St. Patrick’s Day, only, you know, on St. Patrick’s Day, leading me to not post it until after the holiday. But seriously, as soon as I bit into one of these all I…

Taste & Create Plus One: Chocolate Chip Coffee Scones & Brownie Scones

June 22, 2009 By Laura 9 Comments

Here’s the deal: when I make anything coffee flavored for dessert, I usually need to make 2 things, because how cruel is it to make something my toddlers cannot eat?

Guilt Appeasing Scones For Playgroup

October 20, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

I still haven’t hosted my playgroup. I hope that you aren’t appalled–I swear once the house is built I will host repeatedly. I just hate my living circumstances so much right now. But anyway, the solution of course is that I keep offering to bring food. Last week I used them as my guinea pigs…

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.
