December 28, 2018  Something so simple that you can make for a quick dessert. I love adding things to either Pillsbury peanut butter or sugar cookie pre-made refrigerator dough.  You don't have to do all the measuring and mixing.  There is really minimal mess for you to clean up.  Or in my case my husband to clean up.
You want something that looks like you have been baking all day but also something you can do during the week after work and it looks great.
You will be able to smell the aroma throughout your home and think of the Holidays.  It is almost like you had potpourri steeping

So what you will need is 1 large roll of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, found in the refrigerator aisle in your grocery store.

1 large sugar cookie roll
Finely chopped pistachios, walnuts , almonds or pecans. You choose
1- 1 1/2  Tbsp grated cara cara orange peel
1 tsp Fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4-1/2 cup of craisans
1 tsp cardamom
1 tsp cinnamon


Heat oven according to package directions. Set the dough out to soften a bit so it is easy to stir the ingredients in. Once dough is soften add all ingredients and stir with wooden spoon until all is mixed well.  Use small cookie scoop and bake as directed.  Yum, you won't be able to eat just one.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
