This is the last blog post for the Old Town Clovis Pistachio Party happening this Saturday, Sept. 30th! I hope you all have enjoyed following along this week with my pistachio filled recipes! Click here to pin this recipe for later! This was fun and super simple to make. Sometimes I feel myself getting caught up in the same routine of having chicken or ground turkey for dinner and this was suuuuch a nice change!...
One of my tips this Thanksgiving is to make sure you eat breakfast! Many families have Thanksgiving dinner in the afternoon and can forget about breakfast due to the anticipation of all the food they will be eating later on. But this most almost always leads to consuming more calories than you necessarily need. To prevent this try to remember to eat a breakfast that day – something with protein, carbs, and healthy fats to keep you satisfied throughout the AM....
“Sushi” meaning & the most popular types of sushi Sushi technically refers to the prepared sushi rice served alongside the fish, however it is used as a blanket term for this Japanese food of raw fish (and cooked) in all its variations. Three of the most common forms of raw fish you might see on a sushi menu restaurant are: Nigiri: Nigirizushi means “hand-pressed sushi” in Japanese and is made from molding seasoned rice into a small oval shape and draped with raw fish....
What is tamarind? Tamarind is a fruit that’s actually part of the legume family. Yep, you read that right, a legume fruit. But unlike its mild and mushy cousins, beans and peas, it’s filled with a sweet and tart flavor that packs a punch. Tamarinds are found on large, slow growing trees that originated from Africa. These days they are predominantly grown and exported from other subtropical parts of Asia like India....
I’m talking soft and chewy, honey-sweetened, cinnamon-y, vanilla bean flavors and coated in sugary goodness. Imagine your favorite sugar cookie, and then imagine it tasting 10 times better than anything you’ve ever had. Insert these honey cookies. The honey, cinnamon and vanilla bean paste combination is an irresistible trio that makes these cookies extremely addicting. If you’ve had my Chai Cookies or Cinnamon Roll Cookies you know how much I love a good sugar cookie base....
The cookie base is a buttery, soft, and chewy cookie dough, infused with the rich flavor of chocolate. These are based off of my famous Kroll’s Kookies, so if you love that recipe, you’ll love these just as much! As you take a bite, you’ll experience the delightful contrast of the sweet and slightly crunchy M&M candies, which add bursts of color and a pop of sweetness to every mouthful....
I remember seeing a plate of this at meals quite often as a child, much before I mustered up the courage to try đồ chua. These pickles are less pungent and have a variety of textures and crunch making them fun to eat. Some of my relatives only like the leaves, and some only like the crunchier branches. So depending on who visited more during the week, the big jar of do chua would be imbalanced like a marshmallow-stripped cereal box....

The gooey mozzarella in the center is a wonderful surprise and dipping them in marinara or tomato sauce is an absolute must! (However, dipping in a basil pesto sounds equally amazing). I love serving these Italian rice balls as appetizers or they are delicious on their own with a salad (like this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad) or soup (like this Vegetable Soup)....
Imagine the cinnamon-sugar flavors of a classic Snickerdoodle cookie but elevated with the nutty depth of brown butter and gooey caramel tucked away in the center. I’m unsure what I love most: the nostalgic snickerdoodle flavors, the sweet, chewy caramel centers, or the caramelized notes from the brown butter. But one thing is certain: the combination of this trio of flavors is heaven! Why this recipe works The Magic of Brown Butter: Brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor that elevates the standard snickerdoodle into something truly spectacular....
With wedding planning and all of the other duties life brings, I don’t have much time for elaborate or complicated dinners and I am sure you can somewhat relate. That’s why here on Kroll’s Korner I love making realistic recipes that I actually make on a regular basis and we eat in our home too. This chicken enchilada casserole is my go to when I want to make Mexican fare....
It’s hard to talk such a big game when these giant chocolate chip cookies and crinkle cookies are a holiday staple as well. BUT when these cranberry white chocolate chip cookies are dipped in white chocolate and studded with dried cranberries and melty white chocolate goodness you can’t resist. This recipe yields ~6, 5 oz. cookies which are fairly large! You can double the recipe or make smaller cookies, and cook for ~1 minute less....
What are deviled eggs? I was super surprised to learn that a dish I thought was most well-known for in the South actually has origins in Ancient Rome. There are examples of boiled and seasoned eggs during Ancient Rome and eventually became stuffed eggs in Medieval Spain. These Andalusian stuffed eggs were made by pounding the yolk with cilantro, onion juice, pepper, and coriander seeds, then beaten with murri, oil, and salt....
When to take a ginger shot You can take ginger shots anytime during the day. However, I prefer to take ginger shots when I wake up in the morning because it’s easy to remember. Taking ginger shots when I’m sick also helps to clear my nasal passages–it gives a good burn and allows me to breathe a little easier. Ginger shot ingredients What’s great about making ginger shots at home is that you can add many ingredients to customize your ginger shots that you don’t necessarily have at the juice store or market....
Healthy avocado deviled eggs Happy Tuesday! I did not get around to posting yesterday sooo how was everyone’s weekend? Busy, I’m sure. I had a pretty relaxing weekend — didn’t go anywhere or have anything planned to do around town. My brother and his wife had an impromptu BBQ on Saturday night and I brought these healthy deviled eggs…everyone seemed to really like them so I thought hey, might as well put them on the blog!...
The creamy goat cheese artistically smeared on the serving platter sets off the honey roasted carrots to catch everyones attention. Plus the goat cheese & carrot combo is incredible! The tender, lightly charred carrots are then topped with lemon zest, fresh parsley, flaky sea salt and toasted with pine nuts. I want to make them again just writing about them! This simple recipe is a great side dish to make for a busy Easter brunch or holiday dinner, and works great for weeknight dinners too....
What is a Japanese fruit sandwich and what does it taste like? A Japanese fruit sandwich, more commonly known as fruit sando, is a dessert that is made up of two soft slices of milk bread filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit in the center. Its light and airy texture of whipped cream and soft milk bread pairs perfectly with juicy and sweet fruit like strawberry, kiwi, and pineapple. Fruit sando is a fusion of Japanese and Western food that combines the popularity of fresh, ripened fruit and the influence of bread from Western trade and immigration....

You get the satisfaction from the carbs and a fresh tomato filled with filled with antioxidants such as lycopene! |Krollskorner.com”] This was a new recipe for me…so I hope you like it as much as my mom and I did.

Starbucks egg white bites Since its release date in 2017, Starbucks egg bites have been a popular menu item. I’ve spent a pretty penny on buying them when I’m on the go and need a quick breakfast to fuel me up. They’re now sold at Costco in premade packs, but they’re still a little expensive ($1.70 per egg bite) for a dish that’s so easy to make at home. With all organic ingredients, you can make egg white bites at home for $1 each or even less....
