Salted Caramel Brownies… YES PLEASE
Salted Caramel Brownies make me happy… like giddy happy. I have tried several recipes and all are good (like these) but this is the BEST in my opinion. Caramel Yumminess… Salted Caramel is a must in my life. I love it on ice cream, poured over cheesecake, dip fruit in it and of course drizzle into super fudgy and delicious brownie batter. There is just something about chocolate and caramel together. I usually make my own salted caramel sauce but for these brownies I used this Salted Caramel Sauce. I love it because it is thick and super creamy, and holds up well as it is baked. You can…

Taking peach cobbler to another level this summer…
It is Summer and that means it is time for a Texas peach!! Not too long ago I was asked what my favorite dessert was and I really had to think about it. You see there is not just one that stands out above everything else, but there are a few that I crave. First up is my caramel brownies, next would be lemon bars and third would be cobbler. Now I am not super picky when it comes to the fruit in my cobbler, but peaches are definately a favorite. It’s all about the crust No kidding my most favorite part of cobbler is the crust. Honestly I…

A Christmas Tradition
Christmas is just around the corner and I think I am going to have to make these again. Don’t be scared…you can do this. It is all about Christmas patience Homemade cinnamon rolls are 1000% better than the canned version, but beware you have to plan ahead. You need several hours (I started the process the night before) to let the dough proof and get ready to roll up into rolls. SO what is proofing you ask? Proofing is when you let the dough rise. For this dough we are wanting it to rise, or proof, quite a bit. The goal is at least double from its original size.…
