Laura Rebecca's Kitchen

One of our favorite local restaurants is Rheinblick German Restaurant, serving up all manners of hearty, German fare.  Knockwurst, spaetzel, gluhwein, rouladen — they’re all ready to be eaten! Our favorite by far, however, is schnitzel.  Thin slices of pork (or veal) breaded and fried in butter are served with squeeze of lemon — mmm, oh […]

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 […]

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 […]

What can I say about this sandwich, except NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM ? Ok, I can say a bit more: it’s perfect for summer because you don’t have to turn on the oven. It’s got a curry/mango kick. It takes advantage of all that fresh arugula that’s available right now. And it’s freakin’ delicious. […]

I know this is weird but, after boiling up some shrimp for dinner, I had leftovers. (There was leftover shrimp — when does *that* ever happen?) Not wanting to let shrimp go to waste (because they’re shrimp and not using them up would be a crime against both nature AND the culinary gods) I went […]

Try to look past the messy composition of this picture, and just stare at the deliciousness of this flank steak. Because it is frickin’ amazing. This steak comes from Bedient Farms, which I can not heap enough praise upon. I don’t know what owner Angela Bedient feeds her cows but it must be something fabulous. […]

Strawberries are in season, and in abundance! They’re tempting in pies, jams, shortcakes, cookies, muffins and scores of other sweets. But perhaps this season, you’ll try them as part of a savory dish. Paired with soft cheese and fresh greens top a hot, crispy pizza crust, strawberries find a new home as dinner, not dessert. […]

Another chick pea recipe! But, this is the last one for a long while because I’m not sure how chickpeas could taste more delicious than in this dish. This recipe comes from Madhur Jaffrey’s classic cookbook, Indian Cooking. I stumbled on it via a discussion on Shapely Prose (linking to this recipe) and, not only […]

If you look on the sidebar or at the bottom of each post, you’ll notice that give recipes a grade using the standard system: A to F. You’ll also notice that there are almost no Fs, Ds, or Cs and very few Bs; it’s mostly As. That’s because, at some point on the blogging journey, […]
