I have not made them since–despite actually dreaming about them I am mortified to say–because holy cow they were so very, well, bad for you. Like many great desserts. So when I saw that…

Before I get to the “to tries,” A Healthy Gardener has passed on the Best Blog award to me. So sweet! I am ‘sposed to pass it on to 15 blogs–but instead I suggest you just check my sidebar. If I have you on my sidebar, consider it passed on. And if a blog is…

I have always wanted to try brioche, but have never quite felt compelled–until I saw Rah Cha Chow‘s Butternut Brioche. Golden and rich, these rolls look amazing! As most of you know, I love braised beef–any way you want to serve it to me. But my husband is pickier and so I am always looking…

I love beans. Like really love beans. And I am always looking for bean soups to try, but frequently they seem awfully similar to one another. So I was intrigued by this Mesa Grill Black Bean Soup that I saw over at Zen Kitchen. Made with red wine and loads of poblano chile peppers, it…

Autumn into the holidays is my favorite time of year–culinarily and otherwise–so I know I have loads of family recipes to choose from and I bet you do too.

So at the moment my life is in a little bit of upheaval. Well, maybe not upheaval per se, but it is certainly was a crazy September and it would seem as a result To Try Tuesday will be posted on any day other than Tuesday. C’est la vie. It occurs to me as I…

Ooops, I totally forgot my new little weekly To Try post around here. D’Oh! I love lemon quick breads and cakes–I can try an endless variety of them. Which is why this Glazed Lemon Bread by Simply Recipes is on my to try list. The honey and cardamom–both subtle–look especially interesting. Apple season is here…

I am a huge crisp fan. For whatever reason I usually make them with blueberries. However, the minute I saw this Apple Crisp over at Simply Recipes I knew I’d be making it soon. If food porn is the ability of a picture to make your mouth water and your taste buds absolutely crave what…

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.
