Cornbreads On The Side

Cornbreads On The Side by Laura Tabacca

I am out of town on Spring Break (but don’t even think about robbing me–my dogs will eat you) so you are getting a double feature bonus post. Bonus because I might not have normally shared these muffins, seeing as I have no pictures of them. However they are of a theme with the pancakes so I figured why not.Like many (North and South)…

Bakery Style Supersized NY Times CHocolate Chip Cookies

Bakery Style Supersized NY Times CHocolate Chip Cookies by Laura Tabacca

Bill Yosses’s Chocolate Chip Cookie’s reign as my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe was short lived.Don’t get me wrong, it is a great recipe, and its usefulness is large batch make-ahead situations (because it can be frozen and sliced and baked in mid sized cookies) is not to be under-appreciated.But I, like everyone else, have…

Scottish Shortbread

Scottish Shortbread by Laura Tabacca

OK, now that you have all recovered from the shock. I am headed to Pittsburgh tomorrow (actually this will be published after I leave so I am there now but let’s not confuse things, shall we?) and I wanted to take some food. First we are staying with my Great Aunt Blanche in Wheeling and then we are headed on to John’s aunt and…

Japchae-Bap with Bulgogi

Japchae-Bap with Bulgogi by Laura Tabacca

I’ve been inspired to learn more about and try to cook more Asian noodles lately, so the last time I was at Jungle Jim’s I investigated their Asian noodle selection, especially their fresh noodles. I was especially interested in trying to make japchae, a Korean noodle dish using sweet potato starch noodles (a thick glass noodle akin…

Potato-Chorizo Tortilla

Potato-Chorizo Tortilla by Laura Tabacca

We had one of those nights. One of those I-cannot-possibly-care-how-bad-these-photos-will-turn-out kind of nights. Obviously. C’est la vie.Ayway, my local used bookstore had a zillion copies of Anya von Brenzen’s gorgeous The New Spanish Table, all of which I resolutely ignored since my few attempts at eating Spanish food had…

Chickpeas Stewed With Chorizo

Chickpeas Stewed With Chorizo by Laura Tabacca

I am staring at one of the photos of this stew as I type, trying to decide between posting a correctly cropped photo and a more nicely edited photo. You see, I have finally updated my photo “developing” software, and right now I am teaching myself Light Room. It is eons more sophisticated–and complicated!–than what I was previously…

Sugar Cookies, Revamped: Part 2 (Biscotti)

Sugar Cookies, Revamped: Part 2 (Biscotti) by Laura Tabacca

You all might be wondering where this barrage of sugar cookies is coming from. It is because I am sick. When I have a cold, I crave sweet vanilla baked goods with a vengeance. I don’t want cinnamon (gasp!), I don’t want chocolate (double gasp), I don’t even want ice cream (triple grasp!). For me normally simple means bland, but when I…

Sugar Cookies, Revamped: Part 1 (Bars)

Sugar Cookies, Revamped: Part 1 (Bars) by Laura Tabacca

These bars were born of laziness. Let’s be clear about that. This is not re-inventing the wheel or anything, but I think it worked really well. I also want to emphasize that had I to do all over again, I would have used a coarser sugar on the top with a little less egg wash, allowing the sparkly sugar to really shine. I guess what I…

Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies by Laura Tabacca

Sorry for the delay between posts. The dumb thing is I have been sitting on these cookies for almost a week. I keep telling myself I won’t whine about health issues anymore, but just to explain, we got hit by a second virus after the first, not a GI system one this time thank goodness, but it went through all of us one by one until…

How To Rescue A Bean Soup

How To Rescue A Bean Soup by Laura Tabacca

I thought about not including this recipe. I mean, it is not very different from some other recipes I’ve had on here, bean soups are not exactly photogenic, and it initially was not a success anyway. But then I thought maybe that in addition to sharing the recipe, I would also share with you how I go about rescuing a recipe I am not…
