If you’re looking for homemade soft and chewy caramel recipe with no corn syrup, this is the recipe for you and it’s easier to make than you might think! I have a family member who is absolutely crazy about my homemade soft and chewy caramels. (I won’t mention names to protect the innocent, but she’s a certain 15-year-old sugar fiend, lol!). My homemade caramel is usually only a special treat for the holidays. This year I decided to spice things up with Gingerbread Caramel Candy! This aromatic soft and […]...

Sweetly spiced homemade Gingerbread Syrup is perfect for making into a festive gingerbread latte. It’s easy to make and takes just 20 minutes! I am so looking forward to the next three days.

Try telling that to Mike, lol.)...

Chocolate Peppermint Bark
Everyone loves Chocolate Peppermint Bark; it’s a delicious, easy-to-make recipe that’s great for using up leftover candy canes! While I was growing up, my mom used to solve our leftover candy cane problem by saving them to hang on the next year’s Christmas tree....
Festive Christmas Salad Recipe
This festive Christmas Salad recipe is all decked out in red and green with gorgeous fruits, or what I like to think of edible ornaments, with a balanced sweet and savory flavor profile and a variety of different textures. In my family we don’t really have one dish in particular that we make every Christmas. Christmas Eve dinner is a smorgasbord of appetizers and Christmas dinner is usually something easy like roast chicken or pot roast with all the fixings. A salad of some kind is usually on the table, but it’s rare that it’s festive red and green. I think I might change that! […]...
Hot Buttered Rum
Hot Buttered Rum is a festive and rich drink that’s warmly spiced and sweetly aromatic with a beautiful foam top. Last year around Christmas, a friend came to visit me in Orlando. We went to Disney (because it’s Orlando and that’s where we take tourists, lol). At Magic Kingdom, we went on one of my long-time favorite rides, Pirates of the Caribbean. There’s a part in the ride where there’s a rum-type of smell, but to me it smells like buttered rum! (Anyone else remember that yummy Lifesavers flavor? My grandma always used to keep a roll of them in her purse.) Anyway, that aroma […]...
