I’ve been eyeing this Miso Peanut Butter Cookie recipe for a while. I usually have a tub of white miso in my refrigerator and don’t go through it very quickly and was intrigued by such a savory flavor in cookies. So when Sister was planning a visit home, I knew it was the perfect timeRead more
I think this is the first time I’ve cooked collard greens before. They work wonderfully in this African Peanut Stew; they hold up well, add a subtle earthiness, and a great texture to this creamy stew. Collard greens tend to be inexpensive compared to other greens, but kale, swiss chard, or other greens would workRead more
Unlike most of the food bloggers out there, I’m not bringing you a healthy salad recipe, or a lighter version of your favorite comfort food. So I apologize if this is unsupportive of your new year’s resolutions! But this week is full of birthdays to celebrate, starting with my good friend, then the Boyfriend’s, thenRead more
Are you a breakfast person? I’m one of those people that has to have breakfast. Within an hour of being up I’m ravenous. So I’m definitely a fan of breakfasts that just require a quick turn in the microwave. Baked oatmeal is perfect for that; it’s easily made ahead and is perfect reheated on busyRead more
Mmmmm peanut butter. I have a bit of a peanut butter addiction. If I can’t figure out something else to eat I revert to peanut butter and jelly, or peanut butter and honey, or peanut butter and banana.

This was a big hit at last month’s Carroll Cafe. I even had people coming back for seconds. So I’m apparently not the only one that loves Thai food. And while this might not be a traditional dish, it is packed with flavor, texture and crunch. Cabbage is great for mixing up the usualRead 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
This is rapidly becoming a favorite meal. It’s based off of these tofu lettuce wraps, but combined in a bowl for a more filling/less fussy dinner. I made it twice in a week, it’s that good. It’s super flavorful and customizable to what you have on hand. And while I know that tofu isn’t everyone’sRead more
These cookies are full of all the tasty things a cookie monster loves, they’ve got peanut butter, chocolate chips, M&Ms, toffee and oats. And they just happen to be gluten-free. I don’t normally look for gluten-free recipes, but for last month’s Carroll Cafe, I thought it might be nice to have one gluten-free option. TheseRead more
I loved this meal. It’s super flavorful, comes together quickly and works great as either a main dish or would be a lovely appetizer (just omit the rice). These were a bit messy and I ended up eating them more as a salad than a wrap, but that made them no less delicious. This isRead more
