Salted Peanutty Brownie Bites

November 16, 2010 By Laura 12 Comments

I made the mistake of making these bars the weekend of Halloween, inbetween trick or treat nights. In my town, the kids trick or treat twice (once in a city celebration where the local businesses open their doors to trick-or-treaters and once in the more conventional house to house setting), so the kids already had…

No Nut Apple Pie Bars

October 8, 2010 By Laura 12 Comments

Last week Alex’s kindergarten class studied apples, so her teacher asked me if I could bake an apple treat for them. Because of the prevalence of nut allergies in kids (and indeed Alex does have one child with nut allergies in her class) I skipped past the apple bars I have made in the past…

Molasses Ginger Granola Bars--delicious, easy, unique and allergy friendly!

Well I still don’t have the marshmallows to share. I want to tweak just a few last things–for a 4th batch (most of the 3rd was enjoyed by John’s students lest you think we have turned into marshmallows around here). It’s a hard job, making all these marshmallows, but someone has to do it. In…

My Best Blondies

April 2, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

Best Blondies: this has been my tried and true standby recipe for at least a decade. My family adores these with just about any chip, chunk, nut or candy mixed in--you choose!

My Best Blondies are like old friends in my kitchen; they are flexible to different chips, chunks and nuts, and are there when I need them. Probably one of the most made recipes in my kitchen, I have been asked for this recipe countless times. I don’t have anything savory to share with you for…

These Cream Cheese Swirled Brownies are a decadent family favorite--and sure to become one of your favorite desserts too!

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…
