Salty Sweet Peanut Butter Granola With Chocolate Chips

January 8, 2010 By Laura 7 Comments

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola--salty, sweet, and addictive for eating out of hand! Healthy with nuts and whole grains also!

There is a refrigerator–a little small, maybe 21 cubic feet?, bottom freezer drawer–sitting in my front hallway right now. My parents are re-doing their kitchen, and I got the prize of the fridge! I have been dying for a second fridge in the basement for a while now. Right now, in the winter, overflow goes…

100% Whole Wheat Pancakes

April 22, 2009 By Laura 17 Comments

Someone save me from buying an ebelskiver pancake pan. Williams and Sonoma keeps sending me their catalog and in each one they have all these gorgeous photos of powdered sugar dusted fat, airy pancakes stuffed with all sorts of goodness. At first I thought, eh, whatever, what a uni-tasker. Now with each new catalog however…

Whole Grain Cottage Cheese Bread

March 24, 2009 By Laura 8 Comments

A blog that I read, For Goodness Sake, recently had a post about some of my bread–in the post Linda called herself a “bread stalker” and said she stalked my breads (a HUGE compliment, by the way). Well I have 2 blogs that I check into primarily for bread as well–Wild Yeast and Farmgirl Fare….

100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

October 1, 2008 By Laura 12 Comments

How many of you are staring at that title, remembering that just 1 month ago I balked at the Bread Baking Day theme of 100% whole grain? What’s changed, you ask? I got Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads for my birthday. It has been on my wish list since before its release date. I am…

Pancakes Every Morning!! Homemade Whole Grain Pancake Mix

September 7, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

OK, I know what some of you are thinking, but contrary to the photos we do not eats ginourmous stacks of pancakes every morning. That just made a better picture. But it is true that I crave starchy sweets upon awakening the way some people crave coffee. So I decided, rather than fight this, I…

BBD#13: Orange Cranberry Bran Muffins

August 26, 2008 By Laura 10 Comments

It is amazing what subtle, friendly peer pressure will do for you. I had sworn off this month’s Bread Baking Day as just too much effort for a theme I was not bonkers about (100% Whole Grain), when Susan, of Wild Yeast, commented in response to a comment I left on her blog that she…

Laura’s Not 7 Grain Multi Grain Honey Bread

May 12, 2008 By Laura 1 Comment

The women in my family do not believe in following recipes. Some of us, like my mom, are rather belligerent about it. 🙂 Others, like my sister, are just disdainful toward recipes. I used to be this way as well—and still am when cooking—but for the most part I have become a believer in pretty…

A Use For Those Spare Egg Whites: Laura’s Health(ier) Whole Wheat Pancakes

January 31, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

I seem to have encountered a lot of recipes lately requiring egg yolks. And my sister had me thinking about pancakes from her post about King Arthur’s pancake recipe [her blog no longer exists so I have no link for you]. So last night when I was thinking about these egg whites I had sitting…

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…
