Chicken with Mock Mole Sauce of Almonds, Orange, Chocolate and Sherry

Chicken with Mock Mole Sauce of Almonds, Orange, Chocolate and Sherry is a delicious introduction to using chocolate in Mexican mole sauce.

Salt Crusted Potatoes with Cilantro-Garlic Mojo: Cooking with Chris

September 25, 2013 By Laura 7 Comments

I am SO excited to share this recipe with you! The most exciting part about it, the method of cooking the potatoes, is more of a technique, and a ridiculously simple one at that, but still the results were so delicious and impressive in a rustic kind of way.

First I wanted to say thanks to everyone who expressed concern about Sammy! She is doing wonderfully, despite all the swinging that first day after the surgery at recess. School is finally here and she is too over the moon about that to worry about any bruising around her teeth.

Guys, the doctors think I have a C. Difficile infection. That is all I am going to say, because, well, this is a food blog after all. And you don’t wanna hear about it any more than I want to think about it (although if you are wondering why, it is probably from being on…

Greens in Kheema

November 1, 2012 By Laura 5 Comments

I’ve mentioned before that I am continually waging a war to get my entire family–myself included–to like cooked greens. There have been a few successes, but more thumbs down than up. Recently I got quite excited about a wonderful looking recipe using Christmas Lima beans and greens. John and I liked it ok, but the…

My Delayed But Intense Love Affair With Tom Ka Gai

June 29, 2009 By Laura 4 Comments

Tom Ka Gai (Thai Coconut Galangal Soup with Cilantro and Lime)

Tom Ka Gai (sometimes spelled Tom Kha Gai) is a delicious and fresh Thai coconut soup, flavored with galangal, cilantro and lime. I updated these photos in December 2016; they look a little different, because I let each person add their own nam prik pao, which means the photos were taken before it was added,…

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…
