Salted Caramel Brownies

categories: Bar Cookies / Brownies, Recipes

I have an incredible salty-sweet treat for you to whip up for your sweetie this Valentine’s Day.

Or you know, your Galentine’s Day/Palentine’s Day/average Tuesday. Basically whenever.

Ironically, my “sweetie” is not that into these. He is anti-sweet and salty. I’m still convinced something happened to his taste buds as a child because this just does not make any sense to me, but whatever. More for me. Basically what I’m saying is that I made these as an early Valentine’s Day gift to myself. Because LOVE YO SELF, amiright?

Blue Moon Cupcakes

categories: Cakes and Cupcakes, Recipes

Today is part two of our Super Bowl food series! It’s also the tail end of Meg and Brad’s Moving Weekend Extravaganza. Yeah, that’s right, we no longer live in a teensy tiny studio apartment. In our new place, there are ROOMS. With different PURPOSES. I can’t even talk about the additional counter space in the kitchen. I’m getting giddy just thinking about it. Anyways, the point is that as I’m writing this, I’m sitting on a couch in the middle of our new living room surrounded by a million errant cords and stacks of books and mounds of cardboard boxes that are just waiting to be dealt with, and I’m ignoring all of it to talk about Blue Moon cupcakes.

The Super Bowl is exactly 2 weeks from today, and I could not be more excited! I love sports. Not playing them, of course, just watching them while eating. Duh.

In honor of the ultimate sports (ahem, food) event of the year, I have 2 recipes – one savory and one sweet – comin’ atcha before the big day for you to whip up for your Super Bowl party. Let’s kick things off with these sausage pizza rolls. Homemade pizza sauce, hot Italian sausage, creamy shredded cheese, and fresh basil are rolled up into an awesome hand-held pocket of deliciousness. Guys, it’s pretty much a homemade Hot Pocket. It’s game day food at its very best.
