And then PJ created her Superdoodles. I started to love Snickerdoodles more and more. But could I make them into a cookie I craved?

Recipe: Pecan & Salted Caramel Candies
Just four simple players: caramel, chocolate, pecans, and sea salt.

Recipe: Apple Upside-Down Cake

What could be better than a big bowl of freshly popped popcorn topped with a little butter and salt? Well honestly not much; but for me, my friend Carol Colby’s caramel corn rates tops on the list.
