Rolo Blondies
This past week has been my son's spring/Easter break. Its been a good week, although not very productive for me. Understandable, right? It seems like every time we have a holiday, I need to clean out our candy shelf...yes, I have a candy shelf. This week when I went through our "shelf", which includes multiple jars, containers and bags of various kinds of candy, I made a sweet discovery - Rolos!

Sometimes were even able to sneak in a hand-made sugar cookie or popcorn ball colored brightly with pink and red frosting. Unfortunately, the last couple years, due to allergy and dietary restrictions, my son's school has asked that no food be included with Valentine's. I do … [Read more...]

An amazing pecan shortbread crust, a delicious caramel filling and topped with brown sugar toasted pecans, these bars are incredible! The perfect addition to your holiday cookie trays! As a kid, I wasn't always the biggest fan of pecans - any nuts, really. I didn't like many foods - tomatoes, nuts, some types of meats - all of these things kinda grossed me out. Its funny, as we get older, our really palates change and evolve. I've come to really love all of these foods that I despised as a kid. I especially have grown to love pecans. My adoration for pecans has really come full circle - I now love both … [Read more...]
