I’ve got a confession. This soup was an accident. Lemon chicken barley soup is the product of a smattering of heavy cream that was sitting in the back of my refrigerator leftover from another recipe I was testing. And nothing bugs me more than when you’ve got a tiny amount of cream that needs to be used up before it expires. You know, when a recipe calls for something like 3 ½ cups of cream?...

I have been dying to make some delish caramel sauce all. year. long. And it’s finally (!!) the season for both caramel sauce and apple cider.

Things are absolutely about to get sticky, buttery, salty, sweet, and incredibly fall perfect up in here....
My recipe for apple pie is a favorite in our family, and it isn’t difficult to put together (no, you do not need any canned apple pie filling either).

If you do the same, you end up with delicious truffles that are a fraction of the price of store bought brands....

As a German, growing up in Germany, I ate marzipan like it was nobody’s business. So, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the first things I learned to make when moving to the tropics. Not only is homemade marzipan far cheaper to make at home, but it tastes fresher, takes minutes, and is really easy to adapt. You can adapt the sweetness level, the sugar you use (i.e., regular vs....
Butterscotch is often confused with caramel. While they are in the same family, they do have very different flavors and are made with different ingredients. On top of that, this recipe is a bit easier to make, takes about half the time to cook, and there’s no somewhat finicky step of waiting for sugar to caramelize, resulting in a buttery, sweet, creamy sauce in about 5 minutes. For more butterscotch-flavored recipes, try my Butterscotch Pie recipe, Scotercheroos recipe, and easy Magic Cookie Bars....
