If there’s someone in your life who loves the (irresistible?) combination of peanut butter and chocolate, might I suggest you forgo the traditional Valentines’s Day wine and box of chocolates ...

Chocolate Banana Oatmeal
It’s a New Year and everyone, including (especially?) me, feels compelled to eat a little better. So it’s especially nice to do so when it doesn’t *taste* healthy. This recipe is adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie’s Five-Minute Chocolate Oatmeal. You won’t believe how rich and decadent oatmeal (of all things!) tastes — it’s like warm […]
Macaroni & Cheese
Photo courtesy of Wegmans.com I don’t know what exactly it is about macaroni & cheese but it is deliciously comforting. This recipe fits that bill and, if you use a “super pasta” it’s even a tiny bit healthy! Macaroni & Cheese (adapted from the original recipe) 14.5 oz short cut pasta (elbows, ziti, etc.), cooked […]
Cinnamon Walnut Banana Bread
I know June isn’t synonymous with banana bread but, as I reached to grab some sherbet from the freezer last night, several bananas-on-ice stared back at me, asking, “When are you going to use us up?” Well, fine: ask and ye shall receive. I’ve baked this recipe before, with fantastic results, but I wanted to […]
Vanilla Cupcakes with Lime Buttercream
A fast post here: as part of my “thank you for helping out with the website” I was asked to make “vanilla cupcakes with sort of spring-looking frosting” so I baked up Smitten Kitchen’s vanilla cake recipe, topped with a lime buttercream. The results: mmmm. The cake is moist and tender and the frosting has […]
Southern Biscuits
Life is so much busier than it used to be. I apologize if this comes across as whining — I don’t mean it to, I’m just trying to re-adjust. My working at Geneseo as Web Communications Manager is the first time in almost a decade that I’ve had a 9 to 5 job (well, 8 […]
Beef & Irish Draught Stew
Alas, no picture for this as we — and 15 other friends — gobbled this up too quickly. Also, it’s hard to photograph stew in an attractive fashion; I mean, have you tried recently? It comes out looking, literally, like a hot mess. Looks aside, I can assure you it’s a delicious stew that tastes […]
Chewy Chocolate Drop Cookies
Well, Happy New Year, everybody! Sure, it’s only a month and a half late, and three and a half months since my last blog post, but who’s counting? Where have I been? I started a new job about six months ago (has it been that long? Holy crap.) in which I am mistress of all […]
2009 Slice, Dice + Spice NY Champs!
So, when are we all taking a trip to Chef Kate Elliot’s restaurant, Juniper. ?
Are you there blog? It’s me, Laura. I have Raspberry Scones.
You know how some food bloggers parlay their work into cookbooks? Or become food writers or food photographers. Or pursue a full-time career in the culinary arts. Not me. This little blog, which I have woefully neglected lately, has not gotten me a food-related job. But it has helped me get a web-related job. Three […]
Coconut Macaroons and Confections of a Master Baker
A few weeks ago, Stephanie to participate in The Edible Word for Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker by Gesine Bullock-Prado. The rules were to “pick a dish that she mentions in the book or an ingredient that she talks about. Find a recipe or create a recipe for that dish, pastry or ingredient, and […]
