I don’t usually get very fancy with vegetable side dishes, but when I saw these broccoli melts from Smitten Kitchen, I knew I’d be giving them a try. These are fantastic! The broccoli really shines with the bright lemon flavor and salty cheese. These are great on their own, but would be a perfect accompanimentRead more
Boyfriend and I had my parents over for dinner, and I made two fabulous (if I do say so myself) pizzas: white asparagus pizza, and BBQ chicken pizza (coming soon). And as we’re digging in to said pizzas, my parents commented about how good they were and wondered why we don’t do this more often….andRead more
Not quite a cracker, these savory cookies, are so scrumptious. I decided to make these Lemon, Dill, Havarti Savories over the holidays because the Boyfriend’s Sister-in-Law has a salty-tooth, not a sweet-tooth. And I have to say, these were one of my favorite things I baked during the holidays! The lemon and dill add aRead more
Sister just told me that they are doing a winter share of their CSA, and added an extra share of eggs too. Then she found out that the winter CSA comes with 2 dozen eggs each week, and she doesn’t know yet how many more eggs she’ll get with the extra share of eggs. SoRead more
This dish came together from a quick perusal of my fridge and a growl in my stomach. I started pulling out veggies that needed to be used up, and whipped up this delicious frittata.

Sorry this post is a bit late, I’ve been busy doing some shopping for a catering event. This weekend I’ll be making Curried Chicken Salad, Veggie Dip, a Spinach Artichoke Dip, and Individual Cheesecakes. I hope you still have some leftover turkey in the freezer, because this recipe will make you interested in eating turkeyRead more
This was a big hit at Carroll Cafe a couple weeks ago. Frittatas are a great egg dish that are extremely versatile and perfect as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They’re a great way to get your protein and add any vegetables you have lying around as well. For this sandwich I incorporated some greens I’dRead more
I’ve been seeing whipped feta on Pinterest for a while now, and I finally got around to making it. It’s incredibly easy to make, and is an awesome spreadable feta that’s perfect for sandwiches or dipping. Feta is one of my favorite cheeses because it has such a strong salty flavor that a little goesRead more
Sometimes cooking problems turn in to the opportunity for some kitchen creativity. When baking for the January Carroll Cafe, I got distracted and over-cooked my cornbread scallion muffins. They weren’t burnt, but they were definitely unattractively dark and therefore not suitable to sell. But I hated to waste all that food, so I got creativeRead more
This dip is fantastic. If you’re having a get together for Labor Day, you should definitely make this. Everyone will thank you. My dear friend, Becky, made this a while back for a baked potato bar dinner party, and it was super scrumptious! I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. So since we were cookingRead more
