This was the meal I made for Valentine’s day and it was perfection if I do say so myself. This steak was amazing and quite possibly the best steak I’ve ever had. This is also the perfect thing to make when it’s too cold out to grill. Although after having steak this way, I’m notRead more
It’s time for another Carroll Cafe! I hope you’ll come out tonight for another great concert and some excellent food! Check out previous Carroll Cafe menus from February, January, and December.

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
Two years ago I finally got up the gumption to start a food blog…332 recipes later, and I’m still going! This has been a busy year for A Seat at the Table…the blog got a makeover as I switched from wordpress.com to my own domain, my kitchen got a facelift, I started taking classes toRead 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!

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
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
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
