Citrus Cardamom Marshmallows

December 28, 2016 By Laura 1 Comment

Citrus Cardamom Marshmallows

Citrus Cardamom Marshmallows are sophisticated and delicious pillowy confections, and perfect for eating out of hand.  Guys I am switching recipe plug-ins, so before I forget I wanted to thank you for your patience if anything is wonky–and also ask you to please let me know if anything is wonky! I liked my last recipe…

Butterscotch Pecan Bundt Cake with Salted Caramelized White Chocolate Glaze

A Butterscotch Pecan Bundt Cake is indulgently draped with a Salted Caramelized White Chocolate Glaze for Bundt Bakers this month. The theme is, you guessed it, Caramel! Affiliate links were used in this post to link to items I am discussing. This cake had a rocky path on its way to my site–and hopefully your bellies….

Meyer Lemon Cocktail Marshmallows

Meyer Lemon Marshmallows with Tuaca Liquor

Meyer Lemon Cocktail Marshmallows are a fun treat for an adult party, but if you take the word “cocktail” out, the alcohol is minimal enough to serve to kids too (at least half of the booze is cooked off, if not more).  Right about now I should be sipping some other cocktail, more suited for…

Rosemary Citrus Biscotti & Cashew Chipotle Beer Brittle: Review of The Daily Cookie

December 10, 2012 By Laura 6 Comments

Chipotle Cashew Beer Brittle

Was holiday cookie baking and candy making a tradition in your childhood? It was in mine. My grandma would come to visit and she and my mom would churn out gazillions of Date Nut Pinwheels and some other dried fruit/nut cookie that I don’t remember the name of (I confess I never ate either as…

A Review of Marshmallow Madness: Kahlua & Cream Marshmallows

December 4, 2012 By Laura 6 Comments

Sometimes you get offered a book to review that you are really excited to try cooking or baking from–but just not that time of year. I am extremely moody when it comes to the seasons and food. I don’t like gingersnaps in the spring or summer. I used to refuse to eat Indian curries in…

Pumpkin Pie Marshmallows

October 1, 2010 By Laura 8 Comments

I have had an epiphany. An epiphany for me, mind you, not the world at large, because I am betting every single parent of a school-aged child already knows it. Kindergarten success has nothing to do with your kid and everything to do with how organized you, the parent, are. My children are doomed. Case…

Dulce de Leche Swirled Marshmallows

September 22, 2010 By Laura 13 Comments

I do lead an interesting life, don’t I? That’s 3 surgeries since the start of this blog and 11 total over my lifetime. The good news–in addition to the fact that I got the infected appendix 12 hours before it ruptured (that’s an approximate guess by the doctor), is that having removed now 2 organs…

Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows with miniature chocolate chips

Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows are the best marshmallows I have ever tried for eating out of hand. They are a perfect festive treat to add to your holiday cookie tins! [Note: I updated the photos in December 2016.] I would not normally post such a similar recipe so close to the previous similar recipe. This is…

Creamy Peppermint Marshmallows are festive, delicious, and an absolute necessity for hot chocolate as far as my family is concerned!

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…
