The Best Caramel Apples

The Best Caramel Apples

This amazing caramel apple recipe was given to me by a close friend when I was searching for a recipe to make homemade caramel apples for the very first time. My family and friends loved these delicious treats! Sprinkle with nuts or whatever you desire while the caramel is still warm, but work quickly as the caramel sets very fast.

Pork Sinigang

Pork Sinigang

Sinigang is a Filipino soup cooked with pork. Serve with rice and for additional sauce, use soy or fish sauce. If you want to, you can add what Filipinos call gabi gabi, which is a small taro root. When peeled they look like potatoes. You can add five to six of them when you add the water and make sure they are cooked through. Take them out when they are cooked because they can get too soft.

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Brownies

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Brownies

These are slightly fudge-like but almost cake-like brownies made with semisweet chocolate and buckwheat flour. The texture and flavor are surprisingly light for buckwheat flour! If you like your brownies sweeter, add more sugar.
