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 […]

See these things? These are kohlrabi. Kohlrabi are in the broccoli family; both the root and the leaves are edible. Though they’re available year-round (if you can find them; I only see them in this area through my CSA or sometimes at the farmers’ market) they’re most abundant in early summer. So what do you […]

What’s with all the chickpea recipes lately? Honestly, I don’t know. I’m just drawn to garbanzos right now. They taste good (or rather, they taste good when you add yummy stuff to them) and they’re high in protein and fiber. And they’re easy to deal with, as in this recipe. Throw them in with some […]

My new favorite vegetable to play with is Spaghetti Squash. Slice it open, cook it, shred it with a fork and poof! — strands of squash that look like spaghetti. It’s dead simple to prepare: just slice it in half length-wise, scoop out the seeds, loosely cover each open half with plastic wrap and microwave […]

You can make baked chips with lots of kinds of potatoes, but aren’t Adirondack blue potato chips fun? The chips taste best, whether blue or of a”regular” hue, when hot from the oven. But you’ll still want to chow down on them when they cool down — if they last that long. Baked Potato Chips […]

Our DB hosts this month, Shel of Musings from the Fishbowl and Natalie of Gluten A Go Go, challenged us to make lavash, a type of flatbread, and a vegan dip of our choosing. Although we were given the option of baking the lavash without gluten, I went for gluten. The recipe came together fairly […]

Not that you’d know it by looking at my RSS feed, but I’ve done a lot of canning this summer. I started with blueberry jam, moved on to cherry jelly, and followed that up with salsa. But my favorite — by far — has been dill pickles. Crispy and tangy with a hint of garlic […]

On Monday, we received a good portion of Swiss chard in our farm share, which I don’t have very much experience with. So I was happy to find this recipe on Epicurious, adding a bit of pasta to turn it into a main meal based on Epicurious user recommendations. I very much like how healthy […]

Shane is a person who can eat salad for dinner. As in, that’s all he eats as his main — some greens tossed with red onions and a few tomatoes, dressed with oil and vinegar and perhaps a few hunks of goat cheese. I am not that kind of person. For me, a salad as […]
