Recipes for Real People
A few years ago I tried buttermilk syrup and fell in love, I never looked at maple syrup the same. This Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup I spiced up for the holidays and to go with my Eggnog French Toast ,but this can be used on just about anything. Don’t be scared of the bourbon , it isn’t harsh and the alcohol cooks out. It can be eliminated all together but I love the flavor , it really adds a special touch. This syrup also would be a great addition to my Spiced Pumpkin Apple Pancakes.

This Caramel Ganache is something I have been thinking about making for a long time but I was worried about it thickening up. Recently while doing some other work I discovered the beauty of ice water baths and ganaches. The light bulb went off and I knew what I would be working on. Just so happens I had my hands on a one pound tub of Chocoley Gourmet Caramel. This was the perfect caramel to make this ganache.

We have a thing about condiments in our house, I live with a bunch of dippers . I created this Sriracha mayo to go with a Keto Cheeseburger Bowl , which is perfect if you are following a low carb lifestyle. This truly is the perfect condiment ..It is creamy and spicy . If you have never tried sriracha it is the perfect hot sauce without a vinegar flavor. This mayo can be used on just about anything. From bringing life to a plain BLT to spicing up a fish taco…ohhh AND this is such a good seafood and french fry dip.

I have this unwritten rule at my house..NO Canned Frosting!! I can doctor up a boxed cake mix to be delectable but that frosting in a can , it is beyond help. Creamy Peanut Butter frosting is one of my favorite frostings, and I have tinkered around with proportions for years. This recipe is the perfect texture for piping , it is not too thick or too thin. This is the frosting I used on the Nutter Butter Football Cupcakes and it is perfect with chocolate cupcakes. Just some another suggestion is this is great on a banana cake also.

My teenage boys adore homemade cinnamon rolls , seriously they devour them. The only time they may complain is if there isn’t enough frosting. I mean what is a cinnamon roll without being slathered in a thick layer of frosting. Hands down our favorite recipe is my Cake Mix Cinnamon Roll recipe and with this we have to top them with cream cheese frosting. It is simple to make and really makes the roll rich and decedent.

It’s funny how I get inspirations for recipes . Sometimes I try something and think of ways I could totally make it better. Then there are the times I just dream up crazy things and give it a try. Then there are the times I try things at a restaurant and want to recreate them on my own, this is the case for this recipe. A few years ago my husband and I went to San Antonio for the weekend. One morning we ate at a little place for breakfast where I got a fluffy Belgium waffle and it was amazing. It was served with a strawberry whipped butter and I fell in love with this delicious spread so much I opted not to use syrup. I adored how it was slightly sweet but didn’t give you a sugar rush like syrup. This inspired me to experiment with this concept at home. I went home and started working on recreating something similar.

I am going to be straight with you, I am a chocoholic . Admitting you have a problem is the first step right? Not only am I addicted to chocolate I am sort of a chocolate snob. I buy certain brands that I adore and I tend to cook with them. So If you have a favorite chocolate feel free to use it.
