Brown Butter Baked Donuts with Beet Frosting

I have the perfect Valentine’s Day present for you.

Breakfast in bed!! And not just any breakfast in bed. A hot-pink-donut-with-sprinkles kind of breakfast in bed. Which is the best kind, obviously.

Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, which is just begging for a special themed breakfast for you and your favorite human(s). There’s something so special and decadent about breakfast in bed – in my opinion, it’s pretty much the most romantic thing you can do for someone. Waking up to a mug of coffee and a homemade breakfast, and not even having to put on real pants to get it?! Heaven, people.

Foodie Favorites – February 18, 2015

categories: Foodie Favorites

Valentine’s Day breakfast-in-bed by Brad (awww, right?!). Egg sandwiches are his specialty, and I ain’t complainin’ about it.

Helloooo everyone! I hope you’re having a good week and you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day weekend filled with tons of chocolate and wine. We stayed home and cooked (it’s a bit of a tradition) and this year went with a Mediterranean theme – these lamb skewers and tzaziki sauce, and this hummus, along with fresh pita bread. We loved everything, but the tzaziki sauce totally blew us away – SO good! I love having Brad’s help in the kitchen, so it was a perfect Valentine’s Day. Now that we’re back to boring, freezing, dreary old February, let’s look at some pictures of food to cheer us up. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Bourbon Salted Caramel Fudge

categories: Chocolate / Candy, Recipes

I’m not going to lie to you. I almost wrote this recipe off as a total, ugh-inducing recipe fail.

See, these were supposed to be CARAMELS. Ooey-gooey, stick-to-your-teeth, smooth and glossy caramels. Nice and pretty and perfect for Valentine’s Day (because, you know, we do holidays very early in food blogger land). But apparently my candy thermometer was a bit off, because I pulled them off the heat too soon and ended up with fudge. Watching them set up, I could tell they weren’t right and I got super frustrated. But then…THEN….we tried them. And they were so absolutely amazing that I couldn’t NOT share them with you guys. Enter: bourbon salted caramel FUDGE!
