Tomato Bisque

January 20, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

One of my very favorite combos is soup and sandwiches. There's something about a cold day and the comfort of dipping a cheesy crusty sandwich into piping hot soup. It just warms the soul, you know? Tomato soup has never been my fav because I think of

Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

January 13, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

Fun fact about me: I eat hard boiled eggs almost every day for breakfast. I used to hate them unless they were "deviled" but a couple years ago I had a taste for them and it hasn't gone away since! They are my breakfast of choice for several reasons.

Final Thoughts of 2015

December 31, 2015 by lindsaylcallaway |

There's something about New Years that always leaves me with mixed emotions. On one hand, it's nice to reflect on the year and make new goals, refresh if you will! On the other, it's remembering the projects you never finished, the workout plan that

Thanksgiving: Part 2

November 25, 2015 by lindsaylcallaway |

Potatoes are delicious in any shape or form. I love mashed potatoes, especially on thanksgiving, but sometimes with all of the casseroles, everything tends to be the same texture...mushy. Not in a gross way! I love a sweet potato casserole and

Thanksgiving: Part 1

November 24, 2015 by lindsaylcallaway |

I'm in a state of confusion how the holidays arrived already but I'm so excited for Thanksgiving! Although I don't actually have a big role cooking the meal, I like to play sous chef for my parents and jump in to help baste, play Tetris with

Taste Test Tuesday: @traderjoes marshmallow eggs ( Taste Test Tuesday: @traderjoes marshmallow eggs (Peeps Dupe)

Naturally a trip for 3 items at Trader Joe’s (with all 3 boys) turned into a full snack haul 😜

Graham wanted to do this completely solo but I had to try it for myself! We both highly recommend trying!

Carmelitas bars have our entire heart. It’s my go- Carmelitas bars have our entire heart. It’s my go-to dessert! For one, I always have the ingredients on hand. There’s also no prep like softening butter or eggs so it’s ready to bake when you are. The couple steps involved are easy and the cleanup is one bowl. 

I had my little helper in the Kitchen and I couldn’t bring myself to silence his little voice. He’s almost 3 and in my favorite toddler sweet spot! Recipe below!

Carmelitas Cookie Bars:
3/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 
1 tsp vanilla powder (@eatbeyondgood or 1 tbl extract)
1 cup flour 
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 jar salted caramel sauce (Trader Joes, about 5oz)
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and cooking spray.
Melt butter and whisk brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. 
Add the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda and stir until combined. 
Add half the mixture to the pan and smooth out. (It doesn’t feel like it will cover the bottom but keep pressing!)
Bake for 10 minutes. 
Top with the caramel sauce, (heating it makes it easier to drizzle, don’t follow my example!) chocolate chips, and the crumbled remaining mixture. 
Bake for 15-18 minutes and let cool completely before cutting. 

Enjoy!
If you’re still in Christmas cookie baking mode, m If you’re still in Christmas cookie baking mode, may I suggest these chewy molasses cookies from @loveandlemons 🙌🏼 I add a touch more ginger but these are crispy and chewy and the sugary exterior cuts the lovely spice! I’ve been making these for a year but it gives a nod to gingerbread cookies but better, in my opinion!

I’m always tempted to remove all the sound and overlay a soothing song but I want to remember these days of baking with constant little chatter in the kitchen with me. 🫶

Taste Test Tuesday: candied cranberries I’ve see Taste Test Tuesday: candied cranberries 

I’ve seen people making variations of these recently and needed to see what the fuss was about. My opinion: these disappointed me! I didn’t soak them in pop like some people advised but I still don’t love the taste/texture combo. I froze a few to see what sort of experience that will be! But as is, this wasn’t for me! 

I think this same method but coating in granulated sugar would make for a beautiful cocktail garnish!

Have you tried these? What’s your take?!
