Dulce de Leche Madeleines: #CreativeCookieExchange

January 20, 2015 By Laura 25 Comments

Dulce de Leche Madeleines are out of this world good! Slightly crispy-chewy on the outside, soft and spongy on the inside, my family was fighting over these. A copy of Barbara Feldman Morse’s Madeleines was provided to me in exchange for an honest review–and just in time for this month’s Creative Cookie Exchange. Affiliate links…

Caramel Glazed Popcorn with Mini Kit Kats

But it definitely makes photographing harder. We are not to the worst yet–that is when the time changes and suddenly dinner is being served…

Bacon and Pecan Lace Cookies

I know it probably seems like The Spiced Life has gone bacon crazy lately, but as I mentioned in the Bacon and Farro Salad post,  I just fell hard and fell quickly for Bacon Nation: 125 Irresistible Recipes. At the same time, I needed a recipe that could stand up to shipping, i.e., not go…

Spring is in the air! It was 85 F today, not a cloud in sight. Close to that yesterday. We’ve been down in the creek, to the park, strolling uptown (just another 2 weeks until the students go home-woo hoo! with apologies to any college kids reading this, but our little town is so peaceful…

#ChocolateParty: Chocolate Dulce de Leche Bars

March 4, 2013 By Laura 23 Comments
