Whether you’ve followed me for a brief or long amount of time, you have read about my husband’s affinity for sweets. Rolls of the caramel or cinnamon realm specifically appeal to his love language, and quite frankly my love language for him beckons me to oblige his request for such simplicities – be it verbal or …
I remember making caramel apples as a child with my mom in the kitchen. Unwrapping what seemed like an endless pile of caramels, dipping large green apples into a gooey bowl of it melted down, and finally adding whatever toppings to them that suited the mood at the time. Caramel apples are a treat synonymous with …
The other night I was walking down the stairs and the minute my feet hit the ground my oldest and husband, grins wide, began chanting “we want pumpkin bread!

Apple fritters:: the one and only donut that truly trips my trigger. I love the spices, the fruit and the textures – and if I’m going to indulge in a donut, it’s going to be this one! In my desire to keep knowledge of where my foods come from {from an ingredients standpoint} and minimize …
