Skip to My Tiramisu, My Darlin’
Tiramisu takes some time, some planning, some patience, and a heck of a lot of self-control to keep your fingers – or your face – out of the mixing bowl.
Tomato Soup – The Remix
Tomato soup has long gotten the short end of the culinary stick, so to speak.
Foodie’s Five Challenge
I made myself a challenge last week – make a meal with no more than five ingredients. That’s right, five. Fünf. Cinco.
Real Deal Cornmeal
David Dickey’s “Green” Cornmeal is in a medium-coarse grind, and works perfectly for cornbread, stuffing, adding a crunch to cookies – or in my case, adding a delightful texture to buttermilk biscuits.
Happy Birthday, Foodie!
And what milestone commemoration goes without cake? For Foodie’s birthday, I made one of my all-time favorites, Mexican chocolate fudge cake.
Potluck Potstickers
I had three themes going at once: Indian-inspired, potluck-friendly and Chinese dumplings. Surely – surely, I could make this work, right?
One Pot Wonder
As the time passed, the house began to fill with a wonderful, comforting, mouth-watering smell. Needless to say, dinner was delicious, and I barely had to lift a finger!
Foodie 101 – Quiche
Quiche is very versatile fare – it can be eaten for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner.
Holiday Happy Hour
With a bowl of sweet, spicy nuts, and a mug of heady Glühwein, The Laura Show took a well-deserved timeout. I highly recommend it, and you know you deserve it. Happy holidays!
Mac & Cheese, Please
In my book, mac & cheese means large bites of al dente pasta filled with gooey, oozy cheese sauce, topped with a crunchy breadcrumb topping, hot and bubbling right out of the oven.
Rice Pudding – Thanksgiving Remix
I took a standard rice pudding recipe and turned up the volume by adding pumpkin, spice and a generous helping of brown sugar and bourbon whipped cream.
Bye Bye Bananas
I have a recurring problem. Every Saturday morning, while on my grocery run, I buy too many bananas.
Foodie 101 – Roast Chicken
During my last hair cut, my stylist made an alarming and worrisome observation. “I’m loving Flyer Foodie,” she said, “I just wish you’d do something… easy.”
Ripe Pears and the Orange Notebook
The flavor of the pears was distinct but not overpowering, and provided just the right amount of sweetness to offset the saltiness of the Maytag and the peppered bacon.
Sonntag Dalken
Light and airy, sweet and warm, Dalken are a real treat. Next time you have a craving for an afternoon pick-me-up, treat yourself to something special.
Root Soup
To tend to my stuffy head, I made a huge pot of soup this weekend from some of the gnarliest, cutest root vegetables I got at the Farmers’ Market.
Pumpkin Pickin’ Time
Beginning this fall season, Dickey Farms will be opening their pumpkin patch to the public.
Back to School Bars
My own dear husband, who after graduating college a number of years ago, has gone back to school to become an architect. My first concern, of course, is keeping him fed.
Mom’s Deviled Eggs
At any social gathering that my mom is invited to, her deviled eggs reign supreme.
