And yes, don’t forget warm crusty bread for dunking and a nice salad for perfect lunch or weeknight dinner! This soup is also amazingly served in a bread bowl.

Instead of making this soup with roux, I prefer adding blanched almonds....

I must admit I love butterscotch more than I love caramel. Often, people think butterscotch and caramel are the same, and I passionately tell them they’re not the same. Well, Butterscotch is defined by the distinct brown sugar flavor that comes from molasses. When caramelized, this gives a different flavor, aroma, and taste from regular caramel. In our home, we often make wonderful treats with butterscotch sauce, from simply drizzling it over an ice cream to making other treats like my butterscotch cupcakes, fruitcake, chocolate pecan squares, buttercream, butterscotch Irish cream, and Valentines cake for two....

For me, cake pops are a great way to use up the leftover cake. As a professional cake decorator, I save the cake scraps, and then, use them to make pops that are perfect to give as gifts or to keep in the freezer.

While I love cake decorating, I’ve never had the patience for decorated cake pops....

Carrot cake cupcakes are a perfect Easter treat for several reasons....
