Strawberry Lemon-Lime Pie

Spring is here, and that means strawberries! And early spring also means citrus, so Alex combined the two in this Strawberry Lemon-Lime Pie.

Lemon Olive Oil Cake Topped with Strawberries

I have been having trouble with this next post–as you may have noticed from my extended silence. It is kind of a bridge post, or an odds-n-ends post. It does not fit any good theme, but whatever I am just going to go for it!

Strawberry Rhubarb Meringue Cookies

Tonight Sammy and I decided that the best thing in the world would be to take a cruise from Miami, through the Panama Canal, to San Diego–eating our way through ports all along eastern and western Mexico the whole way. She thought it sounded like heaven. How many 7 year olds do you know with…

#Bundtamonth: Strawberry Jam Glazed Spiced Pound Cake with Buttermilk and Orange

November 8, 2013 By Laura 18 Comments

This Bundt-A-Month was tough for me. Not because I don’t like jam, the theme (I do!!), but because figuring out how to successfully incorporate the jam into the cake was hard for me. My first cake was a pretty big flop. Like throw it out for the birds and squirrels kind of flop! It was…

I should have known better than to sing the praises of the gorgeous spring weather we’ve been having! Today was cold and rainy. Absolutely miserable.

Pierogi stuffed with strawberries macerated in vodka

When Chris and I planned our pierogi making adventure, we talked about meat and potato fillings. Dessert never even crossed our minds. But then the day he came I was browsing Anne Applebaum’s From a Polish Country House Kitchen: 90 Recipes for the Ultimate Comfort Food and I noticed that she had pierogi with a strawberry filling,…

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.
