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
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
These cookies are simple, yet exquisite. The brown sugar tastes caramelized, giving a rich toffee flavor and nice chewy texture that goes well with the oats. These are definitely going to be one of my go-to cookies. It’s especially good for anyone who isn’t that into chocolate. While obviously cookies are always best when eatenRead more
This cake is a great way to use the fresh fruit of autumn. This cake is super moist and filled with apple-y flavor. Dusted with a little powdered sugar, it’s the perfect balance of sweet. Perfection is this cake with a cup of tea or coffee, or really get into the holiday spirit with aRead more
This was a fantastic cake. It was the first thing to sell out at Carroll Cafe on Friday, and I have to say that it is a great recipe. The orange zest adds a fresh note that pairs wonderfully with the cranberries, the pumpkin keeps the cake moist and tender. The fresh cranberries are tartRead more

These cookies were made for Carroll Cafe and were quite the hit. The toffee bits add a sweet touch, the apple is a little chewy, and the almonds add a little crunch. These are definitely a unique option and are definitely something I’d make again. While I don’t remember the last time I actually ateRead more
Is it possible that it’s November?!? Where does the time go! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. If you didn’t get enough sweets already, here’s a wonderful fall cookie to try to remind you of the season…because clearly if I eat enough of these it’ll be easier to remember it’s already November….right? TheseRead more
So last Sunday I cooked the quarterly after church lunch. There were about 55 people and for the first time ever there were hardly any leftovers! I think at the end of the meal there was one bowl of chili left and one small serving of salad. It helps that no one told me howRead more
I’m not really a fan of Oreos, but when picking recipes for Carroll Cafe I like to pick things that I wouldn’t normally make myself. However, these bars might just turn me into an Oreo fan! These are rich and decadent treats. The cheesecake is creamy, the Oreos add a nice crunch (although they softenRead more
