Spiced Carrot Cream Cheese Bars

April 13, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Classic carrot cake and cream cheese icing all in one handy little bite is a fantastic spring and Easter recipe, and that’s what you get with these moist and flavorful bars. I’ve jazzed it up here with a little extra spice and brown butter. If I were the Easter Bunny (and who’s to say I am not?) I’d love a little basket of these special treats. Brown butter makes everything … [Read more...] about Spiced Carrot Cream Cheese Bars

Beer and Pretzel Cheese Ball

Not too long ago, I saw a headline on the website of a high-end food magazine about cheese balls making a comeback. A comeback? Where did cheese balls ever go?

I wanted to create a familiar classic with an updated twist, so I added in creamy brie cheese for a little extra punch and richness (it is the holidays after all). A spritz of lemon, a little garlic, leafy parsley … [Read more...] about Spinach, Artichoke and Brie Spread

Spring Asparagus Torte

Spring is a marvelous time for entertaining, and I like to make the most of the seasonal produce like fresh asparagus. This elegant little torte is delicious and unusual, but highlights the lovely flavor of spring’s best asparagus. I add just a little lemon zest and shallot to bring out that freshness because I find the addition of herbs or spices unnecessarily overpowers the … [Read more...] about Spring Asparagus Torte

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
