Fall just isn’t Fall at this Nest until I’ve made my Double Caramel Apples! I ramp it up… of course… by adding chopped nuts and drizzled chocolate! This is one of our favorite Fall treats! It’s a family tradition! I’ve been making this recipe for the past 18 years! You’ll be shocked how they taste just like those expensive apples you buy from a certain Rocky Chocolate Store for a fraction of the cost. They are so easy to make! We all love this ooey gooey treat! I hope you do too!
Sweet and sour chicken is one of my all time favorite Chinese dishes! When I’m craving the deliciousness that can only be found in a light cripsy tempura battered chicken topped with the perfect blend of sweet and sour… this is my “go to” recipe! It has never let me down and it is one of our family favorites! Put down the phone and don’t call for delivery! You can make this for dinner at your Nest tonight!

Salted caramel is all the rage right now and rightly so! I decided to jump on the band wagon! Boy am I glad I did! These Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are the VERY BEST cookie I have EVER made or eaten! This recipe makes a big batch of cookies, but you can cut the recipe in half so don’t let that scare you off. You don’t want to miss making these! Mars and I just about went into a cookie coma over here at our Nest this weekend gorging ourselves on these beauties! I’m proud to say these are my own creation and it was worth burning a few brain cells to come up with them! You NEED these in your life! They are every bit as good as they look! Can you tell I’m in love with this cookie! I really am!
Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are the perfect Fall breakfast treat! I think Linus should have waited up for these and not “The Great Pumpkin!”. This pumpkin muffin is so moist and packed full of wonderful Fall spices… like cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg and clove. It’s topped off with an amazing cinnamon brown sugar streusel that is finger licking good! Then drizzled with a vanilla icing! It all comes together to make the most amazing Pumpkin Muffin you will ever eat!

If you’re looking for a GREAT carrot cake this is it! It always receives rave reviews when I serve this cake! Even to those who aren’t carrot cake fans love this cake. I searched high and low to find this recipe. I wanted one without raisins, because they are evil and should not be in baked goods…but one that was packed with all kinds of other fantastic ingredients! The stars of this cake are all winners…coconut, crushed pineapple and chopped walnuts! All brought together with a fluffy cream cheese frosting.
Today I’m sharing one of my favorite pasta dishes! Angel Chicken Pasta with baked chicken on a nest of delecate angel hair pasta and topped with a delectably rich creamy golden mushroom and white wine sauce topped with parmesan cheese!

It’s Tip Tuesday! I’m sharing my handy dandy tip for making early morning breakfast smoothies a breeze. I’m sure we have, or have had, that one child who is always running late and never has time for breakfast. I realized when my daughter was a Senior in High School I had to come up with a healthy, quick, and delicious breakfast she would actually want and that she could consume while driving to school. She loves fruit so I realized I could do smoothies, but buying frozen fruit can be expensive! I wanted something really quick and easy. This was my solution. I hope it helps you too! This is perfect for everyone! Working Mom’s, toddlers, college students, anyone who doesn’t have a lot of time in the morning, but wants to have a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
It could be my English blood, but I love muffins,biscuits, and scones! I’m a huge fan of baking powder and baking soda breads! They are so easy to make when you are in a hurry and looking for something yummy! When done right they are light, flaky, and a carb lovers dream come true! Last week I was looking for something to smother with my freshly made peach jam. These Peaches and Cream scones filled the bill! I think you’ll love them as much as we did!
