TURTLE BUTTER ROUNDS

When this Turtle Butter Round hits your mouth, you are going to be in  sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy I can’t eat just one HEAVEN!   I ate four of these in the blink of an eye…and I wanted MORE!   The flavors are so perfect together and they were so easy to make…I’m in real trouble with these. 

You start out by making a mixture of melted butter, vanilla and pecans to spoon on top of the crackers.  Bake the crackers for 6 minutes, take them out , add toppings, bake again about 4 minutes and they’re done.  How’s that for easy!  You know what’s nice about the recipe, you could use whatever you have in your cupboard, I had left over caramels and chocolate chips.  That’s what I used.  

 These would be great to take to the office for your holiday party or a pot luck.  I can see them as homemade Christmas gifts as well.  Turtle Butter Rounds, make a bunch, spread the love and ENJOY!!

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

CHERRY GALETTES WITH ALMOND SOUR CREAM CRUST

Another month has passed and it’s time for Mystery Dish!  This month’s host was Sarah at The Pajama Chef.  She put together an great list of items including:  coffee, sour cream, farro, almonds, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes, flavored oils, herbs, cornmeal and hot peppers.  Since cherries are one of the few fruits I love, and they are only in season for approximately 12 seconds each year, I knew they had to be in my recipe.  Visions of pastry danced in my head. When served up a fruit pie, I tend to eat all the crust and leave the fruit on my plate.  I can truly embrace a “pie” with a higher crust to filling ratio.  How I love the galette (French),  also sometimes known as a crostata (Italian).  Regardless of the origins, who doesn’t love more buttery flaky crust? We had to use at least 3 ingredients in our mystery dish, so I decided to add some almonds and sour cream into my pie crust.   Sour cre...
