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

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
So this is one of the desserts I made for Friday night’s Carroll Cafe. I had made a Cinnamon Sugar Zucchini Cake, and as I was slicing it to serve I sampled a piece and was HORRIFIED by how it turned out! It was gummy and weird and totally not cake-like. I’m not sure whatRead more
These were delicious. The perfect taste of fall flavors. Dad said they were the best muffins he’s ever had. My only complaint is that the recipe only made 10! Next time I’ll definitely be (at least) doubling the recipe! These are super moist due to the combination of butter, oil and applesauce. The fresh appleRead more

I’ve always been a bit skeptical about vegan baked goods. But every so often I like to be able to bake treats for a specialized diet crowd and so it’s important to have a good vegan recipe on hand for those instances. These cookies are good.

This is another recipe from my grandma. These were the cookies I always requested for Christmas, they totally taste like the holidays to me. I haven’t had these cookies in quite a few years, and so it was totally nostalgic having these again. They’re apparently officially called Salted Nut Chews, but in my family they’reRead more
