These butterscotch oatmeal cookies win over just about any cookie lover with its crispy exterior and chewy inside; without a raisin, nut or chocolate chip in sight. Plus, they have a little added crunch and caramel flavor from the toffee bits. It's the sprinkling of sea salt on top that really seals the deal though!
Perfection in pie form! We ate slice after slice for three days; every bite was as delightful as the first. Velvety tart filling on a mildly sweet shortbread crust that made everyone smile with satisfaction. Meyer Lemons are truly the star of the citrus family!
My favorite banana bread recipe is tried and true, straight from one of my vintage cookbooks. Simple & satisfying, never dry, always perfect. I love the original but I've made a few changes to amp it up; giving a little twist to a great classic. Chocolate, banana, pecans and coconut; these ingreadients were meant to be together.
Sweet, salty, creamy & crunchy...this easy butterscotch fudge satisfies all cravings. Sweetened condensed milk is the superstar ingredient here. It ensures perfect, creamy fudge every time! It's so simple and delicious, you'll look for any excuse to make it.
When it comes to desserts, chocolate and vanilla are well and good but lemon is the underdog I love to root for! I've been in search of a perfect lemon bar... that precise balance of sweet and tangy, creamy and crumbly. Now that I've found the secret, I'll NEVER waste my time with another version again!
Right after the holidays we still had a bunch of eggnog left over so I thought the best way to use it would be to whip up a quick batch of baked Eggnog Donuts for New Year's morning! The kids were nuts for them saying "they taste like the Christmas cookies!" Starting off a new year surrounded by smiling faces makes me think a "Christmas Cookie" breakfast was pretty perfect.
No matter what autumn recipe I make, there always seems to be leftover canned pumpkin to be used up. This pumpkin pecan quick bread comes together so quickly, you could even have your kids make it! Bake a few loaves at a time, to give as gifts later. You never know when you'll want to bring a little something sweet for a hostess, sick relative or new neighbor. Everyone loves an edible gift!
In preparation for our first trip to an apple farm, we started our morning with these Baked Apple Cider Donuts! A warm quartet of fall spices like cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove are a perfect pairing for the cider-sweetened glaze. Healthier than a traditional fried cider donut, these bake up in just minutes!
