I’m so sorry that I’m not posting as much today, but I’m in the kitchen making goodies! I thought I would share this recipe for the easiest, yummiest Peanut Brittle that I’ve ever made.
1 1/2 cups peanuts (I use lightly salted)
1 cup sugar
1/2 c. light Karo Syrup
Pinch of Salt
1 T. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
In a Pyrex Bowl, mix the first 4 ingredients and stir until the peanuts are coated.
Microwave for 4 minutes and then Stir.
Microwave for 4 more minutes. Stir in 1 T butter.
Microwave for 2 more minutes.
Pour in Vanilla and Baking Soda. Stir vigorously and work quickly to spread on a greased cookie sheet. Allow the candy to cool and then break into pieces.
(I warm my cookie sheet slightly in the oven to make the Peanut Brittle spread more easily).

Sarah’s fall party is today at school, so I was trying to think of a fun snack idea! I found this recipe for Scarecrow Crunch, and I wanted to share it with you!
Scarecrow Crunch
4 cups crunchy Oatmeal Squares Cereal
4 cups Tiny Twists Pretzels
1 (22 oz) bag Autumn Mix Candy
2 cups Peanut Butter Candy (hard shell)
2 (6 oz) boxes Carmel Popcorn with Nuts
1 (6.6 oz) bag chocolate graham baked snacks
Stir it all together and serve. (I’m serving it in paper cupcake holders — hopefully this will keep it from getting all over the classroom).
I found this on the Pinterest website!

All You Magazine is offering a FREE Holiday Pie Guide HERE. Being the recipe junkie that I am, I can’t wait to try the Double Coconut Cream Pie and the Sour Cream Apple Pie. I’m particularly liking these recipes because each one has a great photo (that’s the Cranberry Swirl Cheesecake pictured above), as well as the estimated cost per serving!

It may just be my imagination, but it seems that for about 50 weeks of the year, fresh blueberries are just too expensive to justify buying. And then July hits! Blueberry season has finally arrived in Georgia, and I was able to get my hands on a few pounds of blueberries at a decent price. (..not a great price, but a decent price).
I’m currently searching for a blueberry farm so I can stock my freezer for the rest of the year. But for now I couldn’t resisit making a Blueberry Crisp with our first berries of the season. I made it for dessert last night and served it with Breyer’s Vanilla ice cream — which happens to be on sale at Kroger this week as part of the Summer Mega Event Sale for $1.97 ($1.60 if you use the .75 cents/2 coupon from 6/27 Smart Source).
Here’s the recipe:
Blueberry Crisp
4 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup rolled oats
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Place the blueberries in the bottom of the dish.
Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and rolled oats in a bowl. Add the butter (cut into pieces) and use a fork to work the mixture into the butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle mixture over blueberries and bake for approx. 30 minutes.
Serve with ice cream!
