Creamy Apple Cheesecake Dip

Creamy Apple Cheesecake Dip

This Creamy Apple Cheesecake Dip will bring out the child in anyone! Versions of this dip have been circulating for decades, under various names, so you (or maybe your kids) may have tried or even made some before. This is my fave, time-tested apple dip, easy enough for a snack, and fabulous for a get-together.

Cafe Lattes Mabels Turtle Cake

Cafe Lattes Mabels Turtle Cake

This is our “go-to” birthday cake, Cafe Lattes Mabels Turtle Cake. It’s been made for and served to multiple generations of my family. Four, to be exact, and hopefully to a new one sometime in the future. This is the cake of our dreams! Intensely chocolate (and moist) cake with a ton of chocolate ganache and dripping with caramel. It’s outstanding and a little messy and oh so wonderful.

Toffee Caramel Cheesecake, garnished with Salted Caramel Sauce and Milky Way Bars

Salted Caramel Sauce

Salted Caramel – while the name evokes a gourmet treat (and it is) it always makes me want to snort just a little. Make caramel sauce and add a little salt. I know it’s fantastic, but people seem to just go nuts over the name! Anyway, salted or not, you just can’t beat a rich, luscious homemade caramel sauce.
