This is another recipe from February’s Carroll Cafe. These bars are chocolatey, sweet, nutty and chewy. Carmelitas are a bit like oatmeal cookies, but with the extra deliciousness of chocolate, caramel and pecans! These are easy to throw together and are easy to customize to your taste preferences. Chocolate Pecan Carmelitas Serves about 18 AdaptedRead more
These are one of the delicious treats I made for February’s Carroll Cafe. These were a big hit. It was my first time making meringue and my first time using my new blow torch! This is actually much easier to make than I was expecting, especially considering how impressive it looks. The meringue gets piled,Read more
This is one flavorful vegan soup! Even though I know better, it’s still sometimes hard to think of vegetarian/vegan soups as something complex and flavorful. Meat adds a lot of flavorful layers to a soup, even if there’s a lot of vegetables mixed in. However, this soup is definitely not lacking in complex flavors! Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you take a moment today to recognize all the love in your life. I’m not much of a fan of Valentine’s Day, but one of my college roommates loved it. It’s her favorite holiday, and she makes a point of telling everyone in her life how much they mean toRead more
It’s time for another Carroll Cafe! A little different than usual, since it’s tonight and not the usual second Friday of the month, but I’m sure it’ll be just as awesome. And the food for sale is pretty incredible, if I do say so myself! I hope you’ll come check it out, tonight at 7:30!Read more

These are simple, delicious corny-corn muffins. It’s a great addition to the chili and the scallions add a nice subtle onion flavor and some fresh green. Cornbread ScallionRead more

I’ll be there selling the following: Veggie Chili with Sweet Potatoes Cornbread Scallion Muffins White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies (these are super yummy, I’m excited I get to make them again!)

This cake was gorgeous. It just might be the perfect treat for Christmas morning. The cranberries are bright bursts of tart juice, the batter is full of sweet orange flavor, and the cake is light and fluffy. With the cranberries, this isn’t a very sweet cake, so it’s great for brunch or tea. This isRead more
These are one of the cookies I made last week for Carroll Cafe. Now I have to confess that I don’t like eggnog. But every year Sister likes to get a carton of eggnog for the season, and usually cuts it with milk because it’s too rich on its own. So there’s typically at leastRead more
