What’s your favorite way to get recipe inspiration? I follow a lot of food blogs (using Bloglovin to keep track of them), spend way too much time on Pinterest, and love looking through food magazines. Sometimes I follow a recipe, and other times I use it as a jumping off point. This is one ofRead more
I’ve been working on collecting recipes that can easily be made with just a couple of pantry items and whatever is in the fridge. This recipe is a good stand-by. It also works great for lunches because it doesn’t have to be served hot and it’s full of protein to keep you full all afternoon.Read more
I’m a bit obsessed with Pinterest. I can spend hours browsing on there, and love all the inspiration that it provides. It’s especially useful for salad inspiration. Salads can be a little boring, and aren’t exactly something I crave in these cold months. But I’m a firm believer of eating your veggies, so with aRead more
Ok, I’m going to let you in on a secret. When I hear that a dessert is vegan and/or gluten-free, I pretty much assume it can’t possibly be delicious. This is entirely unfair. I myself have made several delicious vegan or gluten-free desserts. I know it’s not impossible, yet my skepticism remains. But in an attemptRead more
I just got back from an awesome vacation in Mexico. My family went four hours south of Cancun to a little hotel on the beach, called Mayan Beach Garden.

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
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
I’ve been getting a ton of tomatillos in my CSA boxes, so I have an abundance of salsa verde. When I saw this recipe, I knew it was the perfect way to use up some of my salsa. And after making this, I’m so glad that I have some salsa verde tucked away in theRead more
Gazpacho is a cold, raw vegetable tomato-based soup. It’s great for summer time, and is a cinch to put together. This is a great way to use up all the summer produce. I was able to use cucumber, zucchini and onions from my CSA, tomatoes from the farm we go berry picking at, and aRead more
