About Me

Howdy! My name is Carol, and my creative outlet is cooking. When I'm in a kitchen, the combination of creating, problem-solving, science, art, and food is thrilling. I don't like to label what I am, what I do, or what I eat, and instead lean towards what feels right. #LiveLove #SpreadLove

Happy Anniversary to my Sweetheart,@lifewithluwan Happy Anniversary to my Sweetheart,@lifewithluwan ! Recently, she joined me as presenter at the annual SEAPI Heritage Camp on behalf of ATG, the non-profit organization through which we originally connected 9 years ago. Next week, we'll be rolling up our sleeves to serve with TSOH, the non-profit organization through which we reconnected and grew close. I have always felt that even had we not chosen to pursue a relationship 2 years ago, life would have continued to bring our paths together. However, at a time when we were both our strongest, and loved ourselves the most, the right conditions were staged to kindle a spark. Since then, we've joined packs – Loki couldn't be happier, fostered dogs, met parents, served, partied, traveled, and even bought a house together! As we continue to grow and learn together, and overcome the tribulations that life brings, I feel steady and grounded with my sweetheart holding my hand.

All I know to be true is that wherever we go toget All I know to be true is that wherever we go together, I always have the best time. Another year of learning who you are, watching you build and grow not only yourself, but lifting up those around you in the process. What a gift you are to this world, and to every one that you meet. Happy Birthday to my dearest sweetheart, @lifewithluwan .
I did a thing with @kiausa for Pride Month! It's a I did a thing with @kiausa for Pride Month! It's a snippet of a larger conversation about love, acceptance, and celebration. There are many ways to celebrate beyond attending a parade (always a super fun way to kickoff the month!). We can all donate to organizations that support LGBTQ+ youth, volunteer for an LGTBQ+ nonprofit, and support local LGBTQ+ owned businesses. If we live our lives as representatives of Love – sharing love and leading with love – we will create connections that build understanding, cause self-imposed walls to gradually lower, and eventually heal the divisions in our society. To celebrate Pride is to stand together with an openhearted and connected community, and take a step forward to true equality. Check out their page to hear the conversation that was published today! #LiveLove #SpreadLove #pridemonth

Bake Sale goodies for the Ukrainian Cultural Club Bake Sale goodies for the Ukrainian Cultural Club of Dallas. At the Ukrainian Benefit Concert (Part I) tomorrow, they will have a booth to fundraise for different organizations aiding with humanitarian and defense of Ukraine. The community was called upon to help bake, and many responded with delightful goodies, lovingly made to show support. These were my humble contributions: lemon crinkle cookies, fresh blueberry cookies, and rainbow Rice Krispies treats. Thank you to @jenniejooni and @oksanatoporina for organizing these efforts, and all other players involved. Bonus image of the new hazy IPA by @celestialbeerworks which benefits Global Giving’s Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. If you are free tomorrow, the concert will be playing from noon to 10pm at @amplivetx
Twisted pumpkin scallion buns! I recently brought Twisted pumpkin scallion buns! I recently brought home a cute pumpkin that has been waiting to transform into something great. I originally planned to make a stuffed pan fried bun, but came across a recipe for scallion flower rolls by @red.house.spice . The fluffy layers speckled with bits of green onion were so enticing, and her combination of yeast + baking powder to reduce rise time is a wonderful tip! I wanted to use her recipe and technique as the base of this idea, and incorporate fresh steamed pumpkin to add flavor and color. The result is truly a lovely savory bun. I tossed in some curly green onions to resemble a pumpkin patch. In the future, I may add 1-2 annatto seeds into the hot scallion oil to intensify color to the filling. I’ll make sure to put this recipe up soon, because it’s one of my favorites so far! #veganrecipes #plantbased #pumpkin #steamedbun #panfried #scallion #greenonion #pumpkinpatch #fallrecipes #yeastyboys
