Caramel Shortbread Bars with a thick caramel ribbon in the middle are bars your family will love. A great dessert made with Dulce De Leche.

I have a favorite cookie recipe. Actually, I have two. The one I am talking about is the White Velvet Cookies recipe I have shared on here before.

The dough is a dream to work with and so many recipes can be made from it, such as these Caramel Shortbread Bars.

Remember Christmas of yesteryear? When I was a child, the lights, decorations, excitement of Christmas all gathered together to make the Holiday so special. We would put up the Christmas tree, set up the Nativity celebrating the birth of Christ and make our favorite recipes. Mom would also always buy peppermint stick ice cream.

In honor of that memory, I thought I would put together an ice cream cake called Peppermint Oreo Ice Cream Cake. It only has a few ingredients, it is easy to make and it is great for Christmastime.

How many of you can relate to the busyness of parenting? This time of year with kids being in school, sports and the Holiday season approaching makes the days fly by!

I am someone who loves to have sit down meals with my family. My husband and I feel the dinner hour is such a special time and make an effort to gather everyone around the table. Sometimes, it is indeed an effort, but the family time is so special!

Soft And Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 15, 2018 by Kim 23 Comments

Soft And Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and moist and delicious right from the oven. Grab yourself a hot chocolate and enjoy these cookies at an outside bonfire.

The air is going to be turning cooler soon so it will be time to fire up that oven again. If you are like me who enjoys baking, then the oven has been on a few times at least during the summer months.

I mean, sometimes the day just calls for a cookie, no matter what the temperature is outside, you know? Especially the Soft And Chewy White Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce is what needs to be on your Thanksgiving or Christmas table. With a twist of flavor, this isn’t your Mom’s cranberry sauce!

I would always bypass the cranberry sauce in the Thanksgiving food line. Pickles were never passed by, in fact, they are a must every Thanksgiving. (Dill, of course.)

However, I wasn’t sure how I felt about cranberry sauce and I didn’t really want to try it when there were plenty of other delicious items that I knew I like. Not adventurous, I suppose. That said, this easy homemade cranberry sauce will be the talk of your dinner. And I will forever try cranberry sauce so I don’t miss out.

Lesson learned. 🙂
