White Chocolate Caramel Apples
Our family had so much fun playing around with making and eating Caramel Apples this year that I wasn’t ready to stop making them after Halloween. With Thanksgiving coming up this week I thought I’d share with you this recipe for these simple White Chocolate Caramel Apples. In my opinion, a more elegant version of a caramel apple, that would be a perfect addition to a Thanksgiving table.

Graham Cracker Bites
Today I’m going to share with you a recipe that’s been in my family for years, Graham Cracker Bites. My Mom always used to make these yummy bites to take to friends and family at Christmas time. I loved that she made them but hated that she gave them away!
They are an addicting combination of Graham Cracker, Marshmallow and Coconut and I can NEVER eat just one, so I always give them away too!
Caramel Dipped Marshmallows
Here in Kentucky, we have these amazing handmade candies called Modjeskas. They are homemade marshmallows dipped in homemade caramel. They are as delicious as they sound. Whenever I’m on Market Street downtown Louisville I stop into Muth’s candies to get a bag.
Inspired by the flavors of the Modjeskas, I decided to make some Caramel Dipped Marshmallows for Halloween. No homemade marshmallows here, but still a pretty delicious taste combination.

Farm Fresh Peach Pie
Growing up I was lucky to have 5 peach trees in my backyard that every summer delivered the most delicious and juicy peaches. My mom, being an amazing cook treated us all summer long to fresh peach pie and ice cream. It was not until I grew up and moved away that I realized what a treat it was to have those peach trees in our backyard.
