These cookies are a family favorite. My grandma always made these for Sister as her Christmas cookie. Since grandma passed away in 2007, I’ve tried to carry on the tradition. While I’m sure mine aren’t as pretty as Grandma’s were, they’re just as tasty. These cookies are delicious, the rich buttery shortbread complements the toastedRead more
I made this for dinner yesterday for a quick, easy weeknight meal. It came together in a jiffy and was a great meal to have on a snowy evening! This is a lightened up version of casserole, but I thought it was great. It’s rich and creamy but not overly heavy. With a bit ofRead more
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
It’s officially the first day of winter…ironic since it’s about 70 degrees in DC today. Can you believe how fast time is flying by? I can’t believe it’s almost the end of 2013! I still find myself almost writing 2012 when I write the date. Well I’m sure everyone is busy this holiday season, soRead 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
My poor mom had some dental work done this week and has been feeling under the weather. So in an effort to get her back in tip-top shape, or at least eating again, I created this soup for her. It’s a quick soup, but tastes great: creamy and comforting, just what you need when you’reRead more
It’s that time again! Tomorrow is the December Carroll Cafe. I’ll be there selling the following baked goods: Chocolate Lovers’ Cheesecake Cranberry Buttermilk Cake Chocolate Chunk Eggnog Cookies Butternut Squash and Feta Muffins Check out previous Carroll Cafe menus here.
Here’s another dish I tried for my nutrition class project of trying 5 new, whole foods…sardines! Don’t run away!! These were actually really good! Sardines definitely have a bad reputation, but they’re a nutritional powerhouse and are a good sustainable fish. Sardines are high in vitamin B12 (especially important for people who don’t eat meat),Read 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
