I finally made it to the store and attempted to make the Pecan Honey Sticky Buns again. This time, the dough came together nicely. The smell of these sticky buns baking was absolutely AMAZING! No candle, potpourri or other fragrance can replicate that scent, though I do love to burn bakery scents when I’m not [...]

I’m finally back to baking again and loving it! Over the weekend I made these super yummy Caramelita Bars. They’ve got a layer of oatmeal streusel, caramel, chocolate and pecans. What’s not to love?! They are a cross between Seven Layer Bars and Gooey Caramel Butter Bars. These bars are extra-rich and delicious. I made [...]

Our meals have been somewhat uninspired lately….I was sick and not really feeling like cooking much. In the the past two weeks, The Picky Apple has been subject to a quite a few repeats and boring old standbys. I also asked him to pick up takeout on his way home from work more [...]
