(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. On the other hand, I have no recipe.For one thing, I made the dish before I got bronchitis,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Beef Braised with Yogurt, Indian Style by Laura Tabacca

Wow I feel like we have just been eating TONS of Indian food lately–and since Mommy’s in charge, that must mean I have been craving it like mad! Chickpeas, potatoes & peas, Indian chutneys and sauce… yum! Good thing my whole family gets along on this issue! Anyway, I was craving yet another Indian dish, this time beef, and I counted…

Maple Buttermilk Cornmeal Rolls

Maple Buttermilk Cornmeal Rolls by Laura Tabacca

My family has one dish that is served at absolutely every single Big Occasion (and many small ones too). The family pig roast, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter (when we were growing up–now we are rarely home), any occasion on which all 4 of my mother’s children are under the same roof, you name it. It is her family’s sweet rolls and…

John: “Are these healthier than your family’s sweet rolls?”Me: “Yes, probably.”John (said with sadness): “I can taste it.”Me: “Well would you eat them (as well as the family sweet rolls) if you had both?”John: (An incredulous look)This was our conversation about whether I would serve 2 kinds of rolls at our Thanksgiving or only the…
