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…

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.

Streuseled Carrot Bread (The Leftovers Club)

August 1, 2013 By Laura 14 Comments

I have noticed a common theme to the second half of summer since my kids started school. Baking. Lots of baking. At the start of the summer, everyone is just excited to be out of school (well not Sammy, but that is a different matter), and excited to be doing summery things, like swimming, camp,…

Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

February 22, 2012 By Laura 8 Comments

Like many people, we tend to get into ruts where breakfast is concerned.  This problem is even worse for non-morning people, like myself, because we are not going to get up earlier–even by 10 minutes–to add cooking time to our morning routine.  Nor are we capable of much thought, let alone creativity, for a good…

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…
