As you may have noticed I post a little * on my Carroll Cafe menu posts to warn that the menu may change without notice. Well that little notice is for exactly what happened this month. I’d planned on making a delicious grapefruit bundt cake that I’ve made before. However, when it came time toRead more
It’s time again for another delicious, and fun Carroll Cafe! I, alas, will not be there to sell my baked goods, but baked goods there shall be! This month’s menu was a bit of a challenge to come up with, since it’s hard to anticipate what the audience will be in the mood for…how manyRead more

I’ve been making these cookies for years. When one of my friends saw me pin a different oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe she asked why I’d use any recipe but this one. I was quite surprised that of the 7 cookie recipes that include oatmeal, none of them were this recipe. I made these forRead more
This was a recipe I tried out for Carroll Cafe. And it was awesome. It’s incredibly easy to make, and yet is packed with flavor. This is a bit spicy, but I found the heat to be really warming, perfect for a cold winter day. This is also a great recipe to keep the ingredientsRead more
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?! I’m not sure how it snuck up on me, but I’m in shock that it’s approaching so quickly! I made this salad for Carroll Cafe, but it would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving spread. It’d also be great to make with leftover roasted vegetables. ThisRead more

I haven’t been to Sweden, but I’m pretty sure I’d love the food (then again you’d be hard pressed to find a country where I wouldn’t love the food). This cake has a subtle sweetness that highlights the sweet apples. It’s moist and spiced with cardamom and is the perfect tea-time cake. This wasRead more
Pumpkin season is in full swing. While I still feel it’s a bit early (I still feel like it’s September!), these cookies are enough to convince me to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon. Cakey and fluffy, rich and warm, these cookies are one part coffee cake and one part snickerdoodle. The cinnamon flavor is outRead more
The October Carroll Cafe is this Friday the 17th! Buy tickets online! It’ll be another fun night with great music, lots of people, and great food (if I do say so myself). Make sure you come visit me in the kitchen! I’ll be selling food and drinks before the show starts and at intermission (althoughRead more
