So this is one of the desserts I made for Friday night’s Carroll Cafe. I had made a Cinnamon Sugar Zucchini Cake, and as I was slicing it to serve I sampled a piece and was HORRIFIED by how it turned out! It was gummy and weird and totally not cake-like. I’m not sure whatRead more
These were delicious. The perfect taste of fall flavors. Dad said they were the best muffins he’s ever had. My only complaint is that the recipe only made 10! Next time I’ll definitely be (at least) doubling the recipe! These are super moist due to the combination of butter, oil and applesauce. The fresh appleRead more
So I haven’t had a real win in the kitchen lately, and things have been busy with starting class, so instead of a new post today I’m doing a throwback to an old favorite! It’s September (despite my protests at the passage of time!), which means it is now acceptable to bring on the pumpkin!Read more
This is a recipe for all those people that don’t like cooked fruit. A dear friend of mine doesn’t like the texture of baked fruit, which is just a tragedy when you think of all the delicious crumbles and crisps she’s missing out on! So when I stumbled upon this recipe I thought it wasRead more
Oh summertime, how delectable your fruits are. Peach season is in full swing in these parts and I may have gotten a bit carried away when picking last week and ended up with way more peaches than I knew what to do with. That’s a lie, I totally knew what to do: devour them! TheyRead more
Sometimes failure in the kitchen happens. It’s unfortunate when you spend time and ingredients trying to create something wonderful and end up with a mess. But in today’s case, at least the mess tasted delicious. This bundt is the perfect blend of sweet (not too sweet) cake with sweet/tart berries studded throughout. The cake isRead more
These cupcakes are delicious. The chocolate cake is super moist and so tender. It has a rich, dark chocolate flavor that really shines. It’s almost brownie-like. Topped with a rich white chocolate frosting these are decadent and sure to be a new classic. I’m not usually a fan of white chocolate, but the combination ofRead more
I’ve always been a bit skeptical about vegan baked goods. But every so often I like to be able to bake treats for a specialized diet crowd and so it’s important to have a good vegan recipe on hand for those instances. These cookies are good. They aren’t my ideal chocolate chip cookie because they’reRead more

This is another recipe from my grandma. These were the cookies I always requested for Christmas, they totally taste like the holidays to me. I haven’t had these cookies in quite a few years, and so it was totally nostalgic having these again. They’re apparently officially called Salted Nut Chews, but in my family they’reRead more
