Mexican Green Soup with Asparagus and Potatoes (Sopa Verde de Espárragos y Patatas)

Mexican Green Soup with Asparagus and Potatoes, or Sopa Verde de Espárragos y Patatas, is a delicious and hearty yet not heavy entree soup that makes the most of spring produce.  I promised more potatoes and asparagus, and here you have some, this time from south of the border. I actually made this a few…

Guacamole with tomatillos on tacos

Buh. That is pretty much all my brain is capable of producing right now. We left Ohio last night after dinner and have arrived in the Outer Banks for our annual beach trip with my family. I am the primary driver –by choice — but the last umpteen hours on the road have left my…

Ground Beef Tortilla Casserole Verde: Cooking on the Fly

October 20, 2011 By Laura 6 Comments

I am always so impressed by blogs that are devoted to one thing.  Baking, bread, curries, sandwiches, etc.  It is my understanding from speaking to a publicist that this kind of blog is more likely to be chosen to write a cookbook, as it has a niche, but I am boggled by these writers’ ability…

Mexican Green Gazpacho With Shrimp

August 2, 2010 By Laura 9 Comments

My sister visited recently, and one thing we always do when she visits is cook. Recently we have liked to make Indian food especially, but the doctor has her on a low carb diet at the moment pertaining to some health issues, and so we thought it might be better to skip the copious rice…

Maple Chipotle Pork Tenderloin With Green Chili Stew

January 24, 2010 By Laura 5 Comments

This is one of those dishes where my photographs are not doing it justice. As far as I am concerned, it is restaurant worthy–but between a hungry family and my own lack of imagination, the right set up did not occur to me. Believe me when I say you should make this the next time…

Another Sore Throat, Another Sopa De Lima

March 17, 2009 By Laura 5 Comments

I was hemming and hawing over whether or not to post this recipe, when I had a revelation. if I don’t find it weird to provide you with 8 zillion chocolate chip cookie recipes–and similar numbers for lemon bundt cakes, vanilla bundt cakes, blondies, peanut butter cookies, I think you get the point, then why…

September Green Chicken & Apple Tortilla Casserole

September 15, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

Check it out! We own a hole! At first Alex could not wrap her brain around this one, but now she has really gotten into it. She told us tonight it was HER basement they were building. HER toys would go down there (which granted is what I had told her). She also told us…

Stewed Summer Green Chicken With Beans And Corn

September 2, 2008 By Laura 3 Comments

This stew was born of surgery recovery. I am feeling a lot better these days, but still not great. I am smelling strong smells, but not subtle ones, and my head is still congested and full of sinus pressure. And other gross things I won’t mention. So while simple baking continues to relax me, dinner…

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…
