Ultimate Oreo Caramel Apples

Happy Halloween!  Weather's been a bit nuts here in New England, rain, heavy winds. We were without power for quite a while on Monday, and I had to toss most of my treat plans out the window.  Luckily, these Ultimate Oreo Caramel Apples come together in no time at all, and in a pinch, you can melt the caramels and chocolate on a gas grill :) I bought the caramel bits this year, so much easier than having to unwrap and melt the bigger chunks. I had semi-sweet chocolate on hand, so that's what I used.   I also threw in some Halloween sprinkles to add a little more color. Caramel and chocolate are two of my favorite flavors, and these didn't disappoint! Thank you so much to Jennifer G for sharing her recipe!

Maple Cream Coffee

The weather in New England has been absolutely amazing the last few weeks.  Mornings start off on the cooler side, and I've been enjoying my coffee on the patio, watching the leaves fall.  Usually caramel is my flavor of choice in coffee, but when I saw this recipe from Taste of Home, I had to give it a try. Make sure to use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup! I'm usually a one cup drinker, but I went back for the second cup on this one, and this time I enjoyed it over ice. Is the whipped cream really necessary? Nope, but I like to treat myself so I added it onto the iced version too.   Maple Cream Coffee Print With Image Without Image Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal Ingredients 3/4 cup half & half 1/4 cup maple syrup 1  1/4 cups brewed coffee 1/4 cup whipped cream Instructions In a small saucepan, cook and stir half & half and maple syrup over medium heat until heated through.

Easy Cheesy Biscuits

Where does the time go?  I can't believe it's mid-October! I finally feel like I'm getting a handle on my fall schedule. The name of the game the last few months has been "easy." Freezer meals, quick-to-whip up side dishes. These biscuits are one of our new family favorites.  I omitted the crushed red pepper flakes, and used whole milk, it's what I have on hand. I used a large cookie scoop, and I got 12 nice sized biscuits.  They are fantastic with soup, stew, or even split with some sliced turkey and a smidge of cranberry sauce inside.  So excited to be starting up Taste of Home Tuesday again!    Do you have an amazing recipe you'd like to submit to Taste of Home?
