Carmelita Bars

6.21.2010

A food post was in my future nearer than I expected. I couldn't resist baking these delicious Carmelita Bars from my new favorite website Desserts Easy & Quick (theminibaker.com).
Thumbs up from everyone that's tasted them!

Ingredients for crust/topping:

2 cups flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup melted butter

Ingredients for yummy gooey center:

12oz chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (I used pecans)
12oz caramel ice cream topping
6 tbsp. flour

1. Combine crust/topping ingredients and press 1/2 of mixture in a greased 9X13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.



2.Make a layer of chocolate chips over baked mixture.


3. Make a layer of nuts over layer of chocolate chips.


4. Combine caramel topping with flour.


5. Pour caramel topping over layer of nuts.


6. Top with remaining crumb mixture.


7. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Once baked, chill for easy cutting.


DELICIOUS!!!!

Just though I'd also add these 2 pictures to my post.

I had an audience as I was baking...lol


Here is a picture of a beautiful brunch my mother prepared for Father's Day. Aside from the sausages, I ate at least 1 of everything on the table. I was stuffed but completely satisfied :)

The Mini Baker

6.18.2010

Ok, I have been having major sweet cravings for quite some time now...oh I'd say about...all my life!!!
No seriously speaking, this craving has really been hitting me hard for a few weeks.
I was perusing the web for some fun quick dessert recipes and stumbled upon this site called The Mini Baker. I want to bake everything on here. I was scanning through the posts and all the recipes look seriously delicious and apparently they are quick and easy too.
I see a food post in the near future :)

God, can you hear me??

I think God heard me complain yesterday. The weather today is a scorcher. Sun with a slight breeze...ahhhh!!! I'd give anything to be on hammock right now at a beach sipping on a virgin daiquiri.
As you can see in these pics with a brighter and fun outfit & smiles, I'm having a better day than yesterday. Not only is the weather beautiful but Andrew's coming back today. I'm so excited!!! We're going to have a wonderful evening filled with kisses and cuddles :)
By the way, I'm totally obsessed with polka dots right now. This top is not only incredibly cheap at $20 or so but I just love the sheer detail.

One more day

6.17.2010

I finally found some free time in between feeding the dog, walking the dog and making supper,  to take an outfit pic. I apologize in advance for the lack of creativity. I've been so exhausted since I'm taking care of everything by myself due to Andrew's absence, that I barely have time to breathe...I also think I've worn down the snooze button on my alarm clock. The crappy Fall weather that we've been having didn't help the situation in the least. We're supposed to have a beautiful warm weekend...this I gotta see! I was beginning to think that our summer lasted only a month. Ahhh, the lovely Montreal...the city that never heats :)
