Cooking with Laura

Hi Y’all! Welcome to my kitchen. Grab a comfy chair and a cup of coffee or tea and let’s talk cooking.

I believe that the heart of every home is the kitchen. The best recipes are born out of love for good food and great company. If you’re here for Momma’s classic recipes, you’re in the right place. You’re also in the right place if you’re just looking’ for a new twist on old favorites. Grab a plate, and let’s make some memories together.

Breads

There’s nothing like the smell of fresh-baked bread—warm, comforting, and straight from the heart. From crusty loaves to quick biscuits and old-fashioned cornbread, these are my favorite homemade bread recipes, passed down and baked with love. Read More

Desserts

Thinking about Momma’s desserts always brings a smile to my face. She made sure there was always something a treat in the house—whether it was cookies waiting for us after school, a pie for Sunday dinner, or a cake to share with company. And Daddy’s homemade ice cream? That was the cherry on top. Sweet treats were a big part of my childhood, and now I’m sharing those down-home favorites to satisfy your sweet tooth too. Read More

The Main Attraction: Entrees’, Casseroles, Stews, Soups, and Sides

If there’s one thing that never fails to bring comfort to a busy day, it’s a bubbling-hot casserole pulled fresh from the oven. Around our house casseroles are more than just a way to get supper on the table–they have become family favorites and some are our main dishes.

I will be sharing tried and true recipes from my own kitchen. Some have been passed down from my momma’s recipe box, others are ones that I have tweaked over time to suit our taste buds and pantry. You’ll find everything from creamy chicken and rice, to even some meatless options that are satisfying.

I will also share made ahead recipes, that can be frozen, reheated and shared. Grab your favorite baking dish and settle in while we turn pantry staples into delicious, hearty meals. Read More
