Salted Caramel Bars
Total Views: 1117 LittleB
I am slightly obsessed with salted caramel. Homemade of course. I can't get enough of it lately. Last weekend I was trying to come up with something new to make for dessert when we had the grand-kids overnight. I spotted the salted caramel sauce I had in the freezer and these bars came to mind. I had the 4 year old take a lick of the caramel sauce and she said she didn't like it. Uh oh. But, I decided to forge ahead in hopes she'd like the finished produ...
Dutch Pumpkin Apple Pie

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've spent the past week mostly in bed. Not because I'm lazy - just taking it easy and recovering from surgery. I am feeling better now, and getting around is much easier, so I decided to celebrate with one of my favorite pies. I love recipes that take classics and turn them into something even better, but with a twist. This is one of those recipes. Combining apple and pumpkin pie into one pie may sound odd to you, but trust me...

Oh cookies...how I love you so! I don't think I've tasted a cookie that I didn't like. While crispy cookies are not my favorite, I still like them and will willingly eat them. Let's face it - I would eat cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner if it wouldn't cause me to gain a single pound. The holiday season is the time of year when I tend to experiment with cookie recipes. There are 5 little ones in our family, and I am finding that while they love their swee...
Snickers Fudge

I like sweets as much as the next person, however fudge has never been a favorite of mine. I find it to be a little too sweet, but that's just me. My husband and son LOVE fudge, so for that reason I've always wanted to give making it a try. So when I saw a few pictures on Pinterest for Snickers Fudge I remembered that I had a recipe for it somewhere, and I knew I needed to make it. It looked really good, and Snickers is one of my favorite candy bars, so I was betting that...

Happy first day of December! Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Ours was special this year because all the kids and grandkids came, which doesn't happen very often! So we were very thankful to be able to spend a few hours with everyone gathered together eating, drinking and laughing. I don't normally post something that is related to a specific holiday after it's gone by, however, this time I needed to make an exception. First I have to disclos...

Thanksgiving is over and I'm still feeling full! Time to get back on track with some healthy eating. I've always wanted to try spaghetti squash, but oddly I can never find it at the grocery store I normally shop at. However, I was recently shopping at a different store and wouldn't you know...they had it! I knew when I saw them it was my chance to give it a try. The possibilities with spaghetti squash are endless, so I was unsure what to do. However, sinc...
Boozy Toffee Banana Bread

I recently had a few very over-ripe bananas, but I didn't want to make banana bread. I scoured the internet for ideas, looking for something I've never made before. However, I didn't come across anything I found appealing.So back to banana bread I thought. Then my mind started going and I tried to think of something different I could do with banana bread. What's good with bananas? Chocolate...but I make banana bread or muffins with chocolate chips in it all the time...
Chewy Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies...part 2. If you read the post on Soft Sugar Cookies, then you know sugar cookies are my least favorite cookie. However, since several of my family members love them, I decided to try to find a recipe that I too will enjoy. Soft, chewy or a combination of the two are my favorite textures for cookies, so that's what I set out to achieve...the perfect sugar cookie. While I really liked the soft sugar cookies, I think I like this chewy version even better from w...
Rum Sticky Buns

My mother recently gave me this recipe that she got from one of her coworkers. I don't think I've ever made sticky buns. I like them and all, it's just that I prefer cinnamon rolls so that's what I usually make. However, since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I'd give this one a try. Cinnamon rolls and sticky buns remind me of Christmas for some reason.These rolls are delicious! I'm thrilled to be able to add this to my arsenal of recipes. I omit...

Every now and then my sister will send me a bunch of recipes and ask me to make them. The problem for me is that she doesn't live in the same state as me, and since I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of goodies hanging around, I don't ever make anything she sends me. If she lived nearby, and I could deliver the goodies to her, then I would totally make whatever she asks me to. In addition to her not living nearby, we also do not have the same tastes. For instance, she...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones. I first want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. I am currently taking a couple of classes and it seems to be dominating most of my free time, but I am hoping to get back to posting more often in the next month or two. If you are like me, or like many people out there, the beginning of a new year means getting back on track with eating or starting a new diet, etc. ...
