I needed this salad. Like, needed fresh greens, juicy fruits, and a tangy vinaigrette desperately. Maybe because it was Memorial Day weekend. Maybe because I indulged a little too much in chilled win...
It’s Memorial Day Weekend. (And if you are from Indianapolis, like me, it’s Race Weekend.) Here are some super simple appetizers that can be thrown together in about 20 minutes or so. If ...
TGIF. And…even better. It’s a Friday before a 3-day weekend. I figured I should post these monstrosities of brownies on a holiday weekend. That way, if you are going to a cook-out or a ge...
Aww, yeah. It’s no secret that I love popcorn. And it’s no secret that I love Sriracha…and Ranch. So, when I came across a version that I could combine all three of these favorites ...
It’s beginning to look a lot like summer around here. Sunny days that stay lighter for much longer in the evenings…wildflowers popping up….Farmer’s Markets beginning their out...
A couple of weekends ago, I went through all my photo archives and deleted close to 20,000 pictures (mostly of food, of course) on my computer. As I was searching through each photo, I came across th...
I am a huge food magazine collector. Like, I hoard them for a few weeks or months until I get on a plane. And, then, I will inevitably end up on the plane, grazing through the magazines (very hungry,...
Risotto. I love to eat it, but I dislike making it. The last time I tried it (mushroom risotto or primavera risotto with fried egg on top), I went through about a billion pots and pans, spent a long ...
So..THIS…this dish in particular…is usually on my weeknight menu at least once during the week. It’s just so easy. I’m fortunate enough to be able to get fresh mozzarella from...
Oh, hey there. Let me introduce myself. I’m an apple cheddar grilled cheese aka the concoction that gets thrown together in a late afternoon break from intense cleaning/panic mode of “wha...
For whatever reason, I always associate polenta with savory dishes (don’t worry, there will be more of those to come later on…). I’ve only prepared polenta a few times before in my ...
I have an unhealthy obsession with sea salt. It all started a while back when my dad got me a nice pretty package of some expensive kind of sea salt as a gift. A very nice gift from someone who knows...
All right. Here’s another traditional meat-filled Mexican dish transformed to a vegetarian one. Score! Ever since I saw Annie post these taquitos a while back, I have been dreaming about them n...
Cinco de Mayo is almost here. But instead of doing something greasy and cheese-laden (although I will say I may have added a *teensy* bit more cheese to these bad boys than what was originally called...
I’m back. I’m back from a full-on, soul-searching, up and down, figuratively (and literally) cleaning out of my closets. You see, I’ve been realizing lately that life sometim...
For a lack of a better name, this was the only title I could come up with for this hearty wrap. So if anyone out there has a better name, let me know and we can revise. I made this wrap a few months...
This is another one from the archives…which I cannot believe that I never posted. Ummm, hello? Peanut butter sandwich cookies? I’ve made my fair share of sandwich cookies, but I was a l...
I’m not usually a fan of smoothies, I have to admit. As a nutrition science major in college, I always learned that drinking your calories isn’t the best way to get your vitamins; you ne...
Growing up, I have to say that both my mom and dad were expert scrambled egg-makers. In fact, scrambled eggs were probably one of the first things that I learned how to make as a child. Everyday gr...
It’s been one of those weeks where I want to drown myself in chocolate. Because chocolate can’t add more work to your already busy load, break your heart, or not allow you a chance to ge...
You have to trust me on this one. I wasn’t sure either. There’s been a run lately at my local market on avocados. Which ultimately leads to me impulsively buying them because they are o...
Spring time means chives. Fresh chives from my mom’s garden. I have to say, right now that’s one of the biggest things that I miss (apart from my family and friends, of course) from Ind...
It’s Easter season. Which equals lots of hard-boiled eggs. If you are a fan of deviled eggs (which I know not everyone is), then this one might be right up your alley. I’ve seen a lot o...
Discovering this recipe was a little like a Hallejuhah! I had been craving tacos recently, but I didn’t want to buy the “fake” ground beef for it. And I didn’t want to do a s...
Consider this a merging of two fantastic cookie-ish recipes. Take a solid chocolate cookie recipe (my favorite chocolate cookie recipe, in fact) which I have used before in THIS post and a combine i...
Recently I went to San Diego for a week-long conference for work. We were all so excited to leave the gloomy gray New England area to hit the sunny, golden shores of San Diego. Perhaps...
It’s obvious I’m a sucker for cheese. So, why not put it in breakfast form? Yep, that’s what I thought. I had been meaning to make crepes for a long time. Growing up, my Un...
Today is a pretty special day on The Curvy Carrot. I’ve been excited about this for several weeks, but now I can share some good news with you. One of my favorite vegetarian bloggers, Michael ...
The other day I was craving cinnamon toast. Which was weird because I normally don’t crave carbs all that much. It’s usually cheese and chocolate (or salt) for me. But, this craving las...
This cookie is not an original one. I will tell you, however, that it’s one of my favorite go-to peanut butter cookie recipes. The base recipe is soft, peanut buttery, and chewy...
