treat time
I saw this recipe for Toffee Pretzel Bark a few weeks back on Brown Eyed Baker. One of the many food blogs that I obsess over. I mean come on, salty and sweet? And you had me at the two types of chocolate. So simple to make. Just melt, spread, crunch, cool and repeat. I…

I didn’t need to use the mixer, and miraculously, I had every single ingredient on hand in the pantry. As I’ve mentioned previously, I love to read…
fried smashed potatoes with lemon
Crispy, tender and lemony, this is quite possibly the best potato side dish that I’ve ever made. This recipe was featured a few weeks ago on Giada De Laurentiis’ Food Network show. First you boil the small red potatoes, then allow them to cool slightly before smashing them gently with the palm of your hand….
