Deep Dish Pecan Pie

This summer we went on vacation in SC. While we were there we took a day trip to Charleston. We shopped the market, walked down King Street, and visited Rainbow Row. Everything was great, but the one thing I remember the most, the one thing that I have dreams about (sometimes romantic) was the bourbon pecan pie from Kaminsky's.

Turtle Cheesecake

Earlier in the month I had a slight mishap. I may or may not have scortched the bottom of a pan with sugar that I was cooking..... Who knew that electric cooktops could get so hot?! Needless to say I was a little nervouse to make anything involving cooked sugar. However, my mom mentioned making caramel and chocolate sauce and I couldn't get those two things out of my head. So I put on my big girl apron and went to work making a delicious caramel sauce.

Apple Pie Bars

It's that time again people, apple picking season!!!!!!!!! I don't think you understand just how excited I get knowing that I can make a trip up to Carter's Mountain and pick an awesome variety of apples. I know what you're thinking, she's only in it for the apple cider donuts, which is definitely a big part of why I go. But being able to watch my son run/trip up and down the rows of apple trees is the real reason I go. He was so excited to be able to walk on his own, and pick his own apples (with a little help from his uncle). I admit it was a little difficult explaining why the apples already on the ground weren't good, but he got the idea after a little while.We picked fuji and jonagold then we went to the general store to pick up some cider and apple butter.I already have plans to go again a little later in the season!
