Homemade Caramel Apples + Topping Ideas

Blossom Lady

Aug 13, 2020 05:39 AM

I know caramel apples are an especially popular dessert during the fall, but I crave caramel apples all year! It is a favorite family treat, we usually slice them up and share, and I’m happy to say my love for caramel apples has officially been passed down to the kids. You can serve these the old-fashioned way, like a huge lollipop, or as sliced apples covered in caramel sauce. The latter method ensures a greater caramel-to-apple ratio. Traditionally caramel is made by heating white sugar, butter, and hea...

Holy pumpkin cinnamon rolly! This is my mom’s famous recipe, and it is nothing short of genius. The dough is so tender, moist, and fluffy that it puts every other cinnamon roll to shame.

Cooking Beans and Legumes + Burrito Recipe

Blossom Lady

Aug 10, 2020 12:51 AM

Beans and legumes are a high-fiber, low-calorie, low-fat, low-sodium, and cholesterol-free food. They are also relatively high in protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. If you have time to soak and prepare a pot of beans, you will save on the packaging of the canned products. Before you cook legumes, it is recommended to clean them thoroughly, rinse them well, and soak them overnight. This improves their digestibility and reduces gas. Other methods for improving digestibility include adding some fe...

Lemon Madeleines

Blossom Lady

Aug 04, 2020 01:36 AM

If you've never had madeleines before, they are kind of a cross between a cookie and a cake. And I would say more cake-like than cookie-like. They are almost like mini-cakes. They use a special pan to make, which gives one side a shell-like appearance. The other side gets a hump classic on madeleine cookies. The glazed variation of this recipe uses a hint of lemon in both the cookies and the glaze, taking this dessert to the next level. Choose any you like and enjoy chewy and delicious cake-like cookie, b...
