Caramel Blueberry Almond Blondies

These are so amazingly delcious. They have a nice soft but chewy texture with a caramel flavor with a hint of almond & balanced with the fantastic flavor and texture of fresh blueberries baked right in!

These are also incredibly easy to make!






yet again i didn't write everything down... BUT! im almost positive this is the recipe! haha.

Amazing Caramel Blueberry Almond Blondies

1 cup granulated sugar
1.5 tbs honey
1 stick melted butter
1 egg
1.5 tsp almond extract (feel free to use vanilla extract instead)
1 cup flour
Dash of salt
1 cup fresh blueberries (or more if youd like)
nuts (opt)

Combine the sugar and honey until it is a thoroughly combined crumbly mixture. Then pour in the butter and the egg and mix until well combined. Add the almond extract. Stir in the flour and salt until everything smooth and fold in the blueberries. (If you add nuts, add them now). Pour into a greased baking sheet, (bang on counter to get out the air bubbles) and bake at 350º for about 35 - 45 min until golden brown and semi firm.

(It will be a little soft, and when a toothpick is inserted, stuff will stick to the toothpick)


Hope this works!

who says salsa is for peppers. its pineapples turn.

yes indeed, i made PINEAPPLE SALSA! its the perfect blend of the sweet and tangy taste of pineapple balanced with the crisp, savory flavor of fresh onions, peppers and tomatoes.

(and those are basically the only ingredients added plus a little salt, and lemon juice... cilantro is good in it too! I used canned crushed pineapple. Its all about balancing the flavors to get it just how you like it.)

Summery/Autumny/Wintery Peach Pie

I was absolutely dying to make a fruit dessert the other day && just had to use the organic peaches we had just purchased from the local Farmer's Market! It has the perfect balance of tart and sweet & is great hot or cold!

Summery/Autmny/Wintery Peach Pie

Crust

1 1/3 cups All Purpose Flour ( use 1 1/2 if necessary)
1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter
1.5 tbs Sugar
tsp Salt
4 tsp Cold water (only enough to form dough)

Combine Flour, Sugar and salt. Cut in chilled butter until pea-sized. Then add only enough water to form into a ball of dough. Mold into a buttered pie dish, prick with fork and pre bake crust at 350º for 10 minutes.

Filling

5-6 Peaches or 3-4 sm cans of peaches ( I suggest using atleast 1 can of peaches so you have added liquid to work with)
2 tbs lemon juice (depend on how lemony you like it!)
1 to 2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon (to taste)
2 tbs. melted butter
brown sugar or granulated sugar, (sweeten to taste)

(I also enjoy the taste of nutmeg & cloves in my peach pies sometimes, but I didnt add them this time)

Slice peaches into large chunks & combine with remaining ingredients. Make sure you taste them so they taste just how you like! (You can even add walnuts, cranberries, fresh blueberries, pears, etc!)

Pour into pre baked pie crust & cover with the remaining dough! (If you used all canned peaches, you may not need to add all of the liquid)

In order to cover my pie, I didn't roll out my dough, I simply took small pieces of dough and pressed them between my fingers and layered them across the top of the pie. This allowed lots of little holes where the bubbling liquid could seep through! Brush the top crust with additional melted butter or remaining liquid (this time, I used leftover liquid) and bake until bubbly and golden brown!! YUM!
