    Delicious caramel apple cider sangria, festive for fall, but delicious all year round! – – Who doesn’t love apples?  Who doesn’t love wine?  Who doesn’t love putting the two together?  If the answer is you, I’m not entirely sure why you’re reading this, but who am I to judge? First things first, chop some apples!  I really liked having the mix of red and green apples for some extra color, so for this recipe I used red delicious and granny smith.  If I had to pick one though, I’d go with the granny smith.  I like the little bit sour…

    Light and fluffy cookie bars made from simple ingredients including one boxed cake mix, chocolate chips, AND mini m&ms! – – I’ve been sick all week.  And all I’ve wanted is comfort food.  So what’s comforting?  Chocolate!  Of course.  I mean this isn’t good for you, but it sure is delicious.  It’s really a cross between a cake and a cookie.  It’s so light and fluffy that it’s not really a cookie, but you can eat it with one hand without it crumbling, and it’s so festive with the chocolate chips and mini m&ms! Honestly, my thought while making these…

    Maple bacon is one of those trendy flavors right now and I have to say I don’t hate it. I’ve never been a huge maple person, especially next to say, my sister who could eat maple candies until the trees came home–that is to say, forever. Though she is particular about authenticity. In this case, unfortunately, I found that real maple syrup doesn’t add enough of an intense maple kick, so I had to out and spring for maple extract. Really, there’s not a good substitute. Potentially you might be able to concentrate traditional maple syrup by boiling it down,…

    Delicious two-bite balls of cake and ice cream coated in frosting and a strawberry cake crumble on the outside!  They’re messy to eat, but deliciously so! – – What do you get when you throw a whole cake on the floor in your house?  Apparently the answer is Strawberry Crunch Cakeballs!  At least it was a delicious mistake!  Basically I was trying to re-make this strawberry crunch ice cream cake that I shared a few weeks ago because it was delicious!  And I didn’t prepare nearly as well because I figured I had made it once before and I would remember. Well…

    Looking for a sugary sweet dessert?  Look no farther!  These delicious blondies have a delicious sugary icing glaze and are sprinkled with pecans! – – The description for these says “sugary sweet”, and let me warn you these are definitely tooth-achingly sweet!  If you’re in that mood they can really hit the spot, but even I can only eat a few bites at a time.  The principle of praline blondies is pretty simple.  Blondie, topped with sugary pecan icing. Tyler, my fiance, loves nuts and non-chocolate desserts, so this one goes out to him!  Not that he discriminates against chocolate,…

Now of course, if you wanna be classy about it all, you can…
