Easy Homemade Caramel Sauce

October 30, 2012

I LOVE caramel dip in the fall for my apples! What I don’t love is the high prices of the store version and the added corn syrup and other ickies. This recipe is so good. The butter really brings out the caramel flavor. I also like that this recipe is so easy to make. A [...]

Real Food Road Trip Snacks: Cheese and Crackers

August 2, 2012

This is one of my favorite on-the-go snacks. It doesn’t take long to make and it’s so easy to take along! Now I’m not talking about those cardboard crackers that you can find on store shelves. It’s too easy to make your own to be buying those! I like to make up a double batch [...]

July 27, 2012

Pin It I was on a quest yesterday to start making my own crackers. I saw a few ideas for some homemade Goldfish but I really like the Annie’s version of those. What I was really looking for was more of a puffy square cheese cracker. Here’s what I ended up coming up with. Warning, [...]

Frugal Homemade Ice Cream

June 15, 2011

Normally when you make homemade ice cream you use quite a bit of cream, and with the rising cost of dairy and cream already being expensive, sometimes it’s cheaper just to do without. I love a cool ice cream treat now and then so I knew there had to be a solution! This recipe requires [...]
