Maple bacon is one of those trendy flavors right now and I have to say I don’t hate it. I’ve never been a huge maple person, especially next to say, my sister who could eat maple candies until the trees came home–that is to say, forever. Though she is particular about authenticity. In this case, unfortunately, I found that real maple syrup doesn’t add enough of an intense maple kick, so I had to out and spring for maple extract. Really, there’s not a good substitute. Potentially you might be able to concentrate traditional maple syrup by boiling it down,…

Craving chocolate? Try these cookies, packed with sweetness from the chocolate, a hint of bitterness from the espresso, and savory from the salt. Every flavor you could want, in a deliciously soft cookie! – – I was really craving chocolate the other day, and it’s honestly been a little while since I’ve had that “got-to-have-it” feeling!

A simple recipe of garlicky cremini mushrooms, delicious as an individual side, or perfect to add some earthy depth to any other dish! – – Funny, I’ve come a long way from hating mushrooms. I used to hate mushrooms. They’re a weird texture raw, and sometimes when cooked they’re rubbery, which isn’t much better in the texture department. But I think I’ve found a few tricks to share with you on how I like my mushrooms! The first key tip from me is: Cremini mushrooms or bust. I think part of my issue is with white button mushrooms specifically. Not…

Has anyone else seen these strange savory “jams” that are a thing now? I won’t lie, I still think they’re a little strange. Delicious yes, strange, also yes. But I’m a fan! Especially of anything bacon. And since maple bacon is also a wondrous thing, I thought this was a great combination! I basically just adapted my tomato onion jam (recipe made for the juicy lucy burger) to use bacon instead of tomatoes, and use maple syrup in addition to some water. It’s pretty simple, and was a hit at our New Year’s Eve party! They went on Brunch Burger Bombs, recipe…

Buttery soft caramels wrapped in chocolate! Literally, what more could you want out of life? I actually won’t be sharing my caramel recipe today–it’s a long recipe that comes out only for special occasions! Plus you need some specialized equipment, namely a candy thermometer. But fear not! If you’re looking to make these at home, then kraft caramels split into two the long way work perfectly! Or you can always try one of those microwave caramels I pin to my Recipes – Candy board on Pinterest (link to my pinterest). I won’t link any directly here, because I haven’t tried them, and…

I pretty much only make “candies” for holidays. Typically they take a lot of work, and specialized equipment. I’ve slowly been building up my arsenal, and I actually just broke out these silicone molds for the first time! I got them from the annual secret santa last year with my high school friends. I forgot I had them until I was going through the pantry, and so obviously I had to find some yummies to try out! Plus I had Trader Joe’s dulche de leche (affiliate link) from the dulche de leche cheesecake I shared with you, and I wanted to use it another way.…
