Cha Dum (Vietnamese Meat Loaf)

Cha Dum (Vietnamese Meat Loaf) by Laura Tabacca

I am sharing this as yet un-perfected recipe with you (not to mention the unperfect meat loaf slicing technique!), because it was very good as is and more importantly very easy. Terrific weeknight food. But you might see it it in another incarnation in the future.My main complaint is that as is the meat does not brown nicely. I am…

Extra Creamy Peppermint Marshmallows

Extra Creamy Peppermint Marshmallows by Laura Tabacca

This post has been a verrrry long time coming. Who doesn’t think homemade marshmallows would make a great blog post? I was somewhat derailed by the chaos last holiday season of moving into a new home, but really that was just a convenient excuse: in actuality I was trying to convince myself that one day I would wake up and be able to…

Miso Glazed Cod

Miso Glazed Cod by Laura Tabacca

I’ve been waiting to make Miso Glazed Cod ever since reading about it on my sister’s blog. However, I was a little overwhelmed by purchasing miso in the grocery store. I know how that sounds, given some of the ingredients you see regularly on this blog, but I am intimidated when I first start using a particular ingredient or cooking a…

Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake by Laura Tabacca

I wanted to wax poetic about this cake–because I truly do feel poetic about it, I’ve made it several times–but I am having trouble. Maybe it is the 5 hours of sleep and Kung Fu Panda in the background robbing me of brain cells.Whatever, the cause, believe me when I say I am not expressing eloquently enough just how much I love this…

(Leftover) Pumpkin French Toast

(Leftover) Pumpkin French Toast by Laura Tabacca

(Leftover) Pumpkin French ToastNovember 6, 2009 by Laura 12 CommentsI have to apologize for this post in advance. On the one hand, this idea is just too good not to share, and I feel confident that anyone who has made French toast can do it.

Hummus & Roasted Red Pepper Feta Dip

Hummus & Roasted Red Pepper Feta Dip by Laura Tabacca

If 2009 was the Year of Indian Food (and I think it was–I definitely spent this past year learning oodles about Indian food, not that I am done yet), I predict 2010 will be the Year of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean Food. We just cannot get enough of it lately.First I made those pita wraps. Then I made these dips when we had some people…

Chocolate Salami

Chocolate Salami by Laura Tabacca

Chocolate Salami. Say it with me, Chocolate. Salami. If your mouth is not watering you either really hate chocolate or you don’t like salami.At first I thought “Wow! Chocolate and salami! Well, if they can do bacon and chocolate, why not salami? What? It is a rolled chocolate log full of going stale bits of sweet yumminess put…

Braised Sweet and Spicy Chicken Over....

Braised Sweet and Spicy Chicken Over.... by Laura Tabacca

Rice, couscous, whatever. That part is up to you.I was sick when I made this and am sick while I am typing this. That means a few things. You know it was easy. You know it was good (if I am bothering to type it up). You should forgive any typos. I hope you forgive the photos–almost forgot to take any altogether.This recipe was…
