I’ve been making these cookies for years. When one of my friends saw me pin a different oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe she asked why I’d use any recipe but this one. I was quite surprised that of the 7 cookie recipes that include oatmeal, none of them were this recipe. I made these forRead more
This was a recipe I tried out for Carroll Cafe. And it was awesome. It’s incredibly easy to make, and yet is packed with flavor. This is a bit spicy, but I found the heat to be really warming, perfect for a cold winter day. This is also a great recipe to keep the ingredientsRead more
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?! I’m not sure how it snuck up on me, but I’m in shock that it’s approaching so quickly! I made this salad for Carroll Cafe, but it would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving spread. It’d also be great to make with leftover roasted vegetables. ThisRead more
Well as I mentioned last week, my kitchen failures continued while I was doing my Carroll Cafe cooking. So instead of the planned recipes, I had to quickly come up with some alternatives. A quick text to my aunt, and I got this reliable, delicious recipe that was one of Grandma’s go-to recipes. I canRead more
This was a big hit at Carroll Cafe a couple weeks ago. Frittatas are a great egg dish that are extremely versatile and perfect as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They’re a great way to get your protein and add any vegetables you have lying around as well. For this sandwich I incorporated some greens I’dRead more
I haven’t been to Sweden, but I’m pretty sure I’d love the food (then again you’d be hard pressed to find a country where I wouldn’t love the food). This cake has a subtle sweetness that highlights the sweet apples. It’s moist and spiced with cardamom and is the perfect tea-time cake. This wasRead more
This was one of the most popular desserts at Carroll Cafe last weekend. I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, so this was right up my alley. Then add in salty, crunchy pretzels and you’ve got a decadent, perfect dessert. It’s creamy and smooth, sweet and tangy, crunchy and salty. I made chocolate puddingRead more
I just finished making this soup for tonight’s Carroll Cafe, and I have to say it is a knock-out. It’s the perfect meal for fall. It’s creamy and complex. The citrus adds a fresh, tart note that’s absolutely amazing with the sweet carrots. It totally takes this soup from average to memorable. This would beRead more
Pumpkin season is in full swing. While I still feel it’s a bit early (I still feel like it’s September!), these cookies are enough to convince me to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon. Cakey and fluffy, rich and warm, these cookies are one part coffee cake and one part snickerdoodle. The cinnamon flavor is outRead more
Alright, here’s one more zucchini recipe! This is definitely worth making before the last of the zucchini leave your garden! You can even freeze the dough (pre-scooped) for later this winter. These cookies are sweet, chewy, nutty, crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside. I have to say that these jumped up nearRead more
