We’ve been in a side dish slump over here but things are looking up with this beauty. The miso chili sauce makes a simple vegetable exciting again and you’ll be craving it with everything. We also love these Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and these Roasted Sweet Potatoes! Roasting veggies is by far our favorite way to enjoy them and since cauliflower is still all the craze you’ll have to jump on the bandwagon and try out this great side dish!...

Even though I’ve grown up eating all things ube, including this tasty cake, it wasn’t until recent years that ube has gotten exponentially popular in every form. From cake to ube crinkle cookies, ube ice cream, and even ube waffles. It’s gotten so popular that sometimes it’s even difficult to find ube cake from my local Red Ribbon shop, so I’ve made my own version that includes my favorite things....

These cookies have golden brown edges with tender centers promising an indulgent experience with every bite. You will love how the vanilla undertones of the cookie dough are balanced by the sweet white chocolate and savory nuttiness of the macadamias. And if you’re loving white chocolate in your cookies as much as me, you’ll have to try these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies and my Cranberry Bliss Bars. White Chocolate: the star ingredient!...

[Tweet “The new hummus? Broccoli Pesto Dip for the win! Super refreshing on a hot summer day! |Krollskorner.com”] Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies and pesto is just simply amazing. I came across a broccoli pesto dip and was basically mind blown! I knew I had to make my own and try it out. It’s safe to say I was impressed, haha! Behind the color GREEN: The natural plant pigment chlorophyll colors green fruits and vegetables....

It has all the things we love: melted butter, crushed garlic, freshly grated mozzarella cheese all wrapped up in a warm, soft, (yet perfectly crusty) sourdough bread round. This recipe truly elevates sourdough bread and takes finger foods to the next level. It’s a gorgeous party appetizer or addition to the dinner table too! Basically say goodbye to ordinary and boring garlic bread because this is the only way you’re going to want it now....

It’s especially popular around the holidays since fresh cranberries flood the produce section at the store! But did you know you can actually buy cranberries year-round? I buy the frozen cranberries when the fresh aren’t as readily available. If you know me, you know I love all things cranberries, and not just in fresh form. I use dried cranberries in my salads and sometimes I use them to sweeten up a chicken dish!...

What’s great about ginataang bilo bilo is that it has a variety of ingredients but you can customize by adding only what you like, such as sweet potatoes, jackfruit, saba bananas, sago pearls, and rice balls. This recipe will give you bilo bilo made of purple sweet potato and pandan leaves to make it even more colorful! Background In Tagalog, ginataan means “cooked in coconut milk” and is derived from the word gata (“coconut milk”)....

I’m not really sure where it went wrong. The skin didn’t blister/puff before it got burned. Again I’m still trying to figure out why. This second time around I chose some pieces with less meat and baked it instead of trying to fry it. Frying also left the house smelling like oil for a few days. I prepped the meat the same way as I did in step 1, but this time I rubbed in kosher salt on the top and bottom of each piece of pork....

What is ginger salad dressing? If you’ve ever been to a Japanese restaurant, you might be familiar with this bright and refreshing ginger dressing on a bed of crispy greens. The combination of ginger and carrot base on this salad dressing gives it a lighter flavor and body than other richer sesame-oil-based Asian salad dressings. Ginger dressing salad is often served alongside hot dishes like chicken karaage, tori katsu, or yakitori....

It’s creamy, protein and nutrition packed, customizable and totally the Fall accessory your hand needs all Autumn long. The cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice tie the smoothie together really making it seem like you’re enjoying pumpkin pie in a glass....

This is a side dish is called sunomono, which has a nice and light vinegary smell to it, with great crunch from the Persian or Japanese cucumbers. It’s a super simple salad with a delicious, light flavor you can just throw together right before a meal. I keep everything for this recipe stocked in the pantry, so all I have to do is find some cucumbers and I’m good to go!...

I find it very ironic that my 3 year blogiversary falls on the day before my Dad’s 6 year memorial. For those of you who don’t know, my father lost his battle to leukemia and May 27th, 2011. That also deserves another “holy heck” because it’s still surreal to me that he was taken so soon. BUT this post is not a sappy post, this is a celebratory post! I started my blog as a small passion project (I swear every food blogger you meet will say the same thing), but it’s true....

This post has been sponsored by The California Prune Board. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running! They are super moist, flavorful, satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients. The prune puree enhances the flavor of the applesauce, and that is why you will see that I don’t add much more to this Applesauce Muffin recipe. The puree adds so much natural sweetness, a caramel-like flavor, and of course, nutrition....

Baked goods with pumpkin in any form filled with pumpkin-y cinnamon sugar goodness and I’m hooked. Pumpkin muffins? I’m there. A pumpkin snickerdoodle cookie? I’m in. The fun thing about this recipe is that is makes not one, but two delicious loaves! In fact, you can also make it into mini loaves if you have 5 ½ x 3 inch loaf pans on hand! (*note: the bake time will be different when making mini loaves, see recipe notes)....

I’ve been making a version of this recipe for many years and it’s always a favorite amongst family and friends! There is something about baking with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum that makes these muffins the best muffins ever! These muffins are quick and easy to make. I like no-fuss recipes and I think you do too! Overripe Bananas Brown Sugar Butter Rum Flour Sugar Flaxseed (optional) Salt Baking Powder Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom Eggs Milk or buttermilk Oil Vanilla extract Powdered sugar

The classic snickerdoodle cookie has the perfect balance of sweetness and spice, but adding brown butter in these brown butter snickerdoodles in skillet form takes this dessert to the next level. You will adore the nutty aroma of browned butter, which adds depth and richness to the cookie dough. Browning butter only takes a few extra minutes, creating an exceptional and irresistible cookie. It’s buttery. It’s soft. It’s chewy. It’s cinnamon-y....

I did my best to imitate the flavors I remember tasting but am not trying to claim this as an authentic recipe (except for the rice which is authentically U.S.-grown!) I wanted to design a gumbo recipe that is realistic enough for you to make for a weeknight dinner or for meal prep. I made a dark roux, added the chicken and sausage and I served it with U.S.-grown brown rice....
