Rainbow Carrot Bundt Cake

Every Easter I always try to make some delicious dessert. It usually involves coconut, because, I for some reason, associate that with spring and Easter. This year I considered another coconut confection, but decided to break tradition and test out carrot cake. But not a layered carrot cake, I wanted a CARROT BUNDT CAKE!

Rocky Road Brownies

If someone asked me what my favorite dessert is, I would not hesitate one bit with my answer. I would 100% say it’s a brownie. If you’re a chocolate lover like me, it’s pretty hard to top a really awesome brownie. Something about that chocolatey-chewy goodness makes me so incredibly happy. And while I love a solid, traditional brownie, I also love any twist on the classic. So yeah, how about a Rocky Road Brownie? Yep, that sounds good.

Craving an excellent blueberry muffin? Well, then you’ll love these delightful muffins made with big blueberry flavor! @cookinRD | sarahaasrdn.co

Favorite Blueberry Muffins

I have some great food memories from my childhood. One of my favorites is the memory of the smell of blueberry muffins baking. That smell would wake me up from my night of solid (the only kind a kid gets) slumber. And as if in a trance, I would end up in the kitchen (how did I get here?) and slide into my seat at the kitchen island. Next, my mom (as if in a perfectly synchronized muffin dance) would gracefully place one of those magical muffins in front of me, directly under my nose, still warm from the oven. Was I still dreaming? Who cared? Not me! I’ve been on a mission ever since to recreate this blueberry muffin memory.

Never did I dream that I would ever be posting a falafel recipe on my website. Let’s just say I had a bad falafel salad instance years ago. And I just couldn’t get myself to try it again. Until THIS YEAR. Seriously, this has been the year of falafel and I’m glad I’ve given it a second chance, because it’s AWESOME! And I’m really digging this version, loaded with pistachios!
