Since moving into our new home in September, I have made it a point to cook and bake more often.

This recipe for Mini Lattice Apple Pies is great year round, but especially during these cold days! [Read more…]
I have recently discovered canning. I always wanted to try it, but was very afraid as I had seen many scary stories about pressure cookers not working properly. After doing a lot of research, I found a pressure cooker I felt safe with (link below). It was so much easier than I thought!

When fall first started, apples got all the attention. You’ve probably already had fresh cider, crock pot applesauce, maybe some apple cake or apple crisp, thrown apples in with your pork roast, and pretty much lived on the delicious things for all of September. Well move over apples because it’s time for pumpkin spice to be the flavor of the season!
In the grocery store, you’ll see all kinds of products jumping on the bandwagon. Everyone knows how divine pumpkin spice is and everyone wants you to try theirs. That’s good and all, but no one does pumpkin spice treats that someone who makes them homemade! I’ve got 80 must try pumpkin spice recipes for you to enjoy all October and November.

I have a Husband with a weakness, and though his weakness is not as bad as mine (at least shoes & purses can be worn); his weakness is still something that needs some type of intervention 😉
Not being able to go get him a Caramel Macchiato at midnight when he gets home from school and work made me sad because many times it was a treat that I knew he would appreciate. This is why I am so happy to be able to share this copycat recipe with you, we have tried it and it passes his test!
