Recipes by Cassandra Plank (Page 5)
Maple, Balsamic and Rosemary Pork Tenderloin MedallionsI'm back with another recipe. Things have settled down since graduation, and now that I am done writing my dissertation I hope to get back to regular posting. With all the stress of finishing my Ph.D., I barely had time to think of new recipes. I've been cooking recipes from some of my favorite cookbooks in the meantime. I've also… |

Breakfast Sweet Potato BoatsTypically I start a post saying something like "sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I've been busy working on my dissertation." Well, I'm pleased to announce that I've finished my dissertation, defended it, and passed so I'm officially Dr. Plank! Now I just need to complete writing my publications, graduate, and land my dream job… |

Nori Wraps with Avocado-Wasabi Tuna SaladLong time, no post! I guess that's what happens when you are trying to finish a Ph.D...your hobbies fall by the wayside. As it looks now, I will be wrapping up my dissertation soon and will be able to turn my attention back to more enjoyable things, like cooking with some level of creativity. I actually have a lot of ideas, but… |

Tarragon AioliI recently made an aioli, which is a garlicky mayo, to top off some steak and veggies, which might have otherwise been boring. A word of caution: be careful how much garlic you add, because it can easily overpower the entire sauce. At least you won't have to worry about vampires bothering you.Tarragon Aioli1. Add 1/4 cup of the olive,… |

Paleo(ish!) Eating Around Austin, TXThere hasn't been a lot of activity on this blog because I've been spending my summer preparing for a conference in Austin, Texas. While there last week I decided to keep track of the restaurants I went to so I could give some pseudo-paleo restaurant suggestions. These are paleo-ish because, as this food was not prepared in my home, I… |

Sesame Apple Kale SaladI haven't posted a recipe in months! I have been so busy teaching and working on exams that my cooking has become rudimentary. I've just been cooking simple things so that I can get by. I've also been cooking my tried and true recipes from my favorite Paleo cookbooks. I want to try and get back at it now that the semester is almost… |

Ginger Glazed SalmonThis salmon recipe, which seems like a hodge podge of ingredients, originated from the fact that I was tired of my usual balsamic, olive oil, and rosemary salmon. Plus, I am on a ginger kick right now. I figure, if I like all the ingredients individually, they should all taste good together, right? I love the piquant flavor the… |

Grain-Free Coco-Nutty Pumpkin BreadRecently I had a head cold that I, thankfully, got over quickly. I was craving pumpkin bread, so I used my apple cinnamon coconut flour muffin recipe as a template recipe. This is just as good as the wheat-based version, in my opinion! The consistency is creamy despite being made from coconut flour, which is full of fiber and can be a… |

Sun Cups - First Impressions ReviewSun Cups - First Impressions ReviewRecently I received a package from the Sun Cups company that had a sample of their products. I have not been able to use them in a recipe yet because I haven't had the occasion to make a dessert, but in the meantime I thought I would write a review of my impressions about the packaging and… |
