Caramel Heath Cream Cheese Apple Dip

I think I stumbled upon this recipe a few years back for one of Cam's fall themed birthday parties, I wanna say I had it at his first birthday party. Well, he just turned 6, so I've been making it awhile and perfecting it. I feel like it was just yesterday when I made it for the first time! It was a hit then and it's still a hit today! All my sister in laws were asking for the recipe, so this is for them. xoxox

 I forgot to get caramel when we went shopping for the party this time so I ended up making my own- you don't have to, but I will leave the recipe for homemade caramel on this post as well. The entire recipe is really easy and it's always a hit for a party. I hope you enjoy!!


Ingredients:
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
 1 jar caramel sauce (unless you want to use the caramel candies)
1 Bag of heath bits (found in the baking aisle with the chocolate chips) 
1/2 cup powdered sugar 
1 tablespoon of milk
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
Serve with apple of your choice 

Instructions: 
In the pic above, the first time I made this I just left the cream cheese block whole on a plate, but the last time I made it I mixed the cream cheese up for more of a dip consistency and added the powdered sugar, a splash (1 tbsp) of milk and the vanilla extract. I then put it in a square Pyrex dish to hold a shape. I doubled the recipe for the party which was more than enough!

Once your cream cheese is ready, you're ready to poor the caramel right on top of the cream cheese then go ahead and sprinkle the heath bits on top, I used the entire bag. Now you're ready to cut your apples up and dig in! If you are using caramel candies you'll have to heat them up on the stove first to make them the consistency you need. I also recommend getting a apple slicer if you don't own one! I love ours!

Shortest Month

It’s February!! - well the end anyways!!! The shortest month. Last week we woke up to heavy snow pounding down. This time of year is always deceitful, just when we think our part of the world is that much closer to spring-  the temps drop to chilling and a blizzard hits. Heavy snow that lasts until the sun shines bright each day and slowly melts away. At least there has been sunshine! Wonderful, wonderful sunshine that helps us survive through these dark months and guides us back into the light.  We've been doing a lot of house cleaning and greenhouse visits. Monday and Tuesday there was no school, so we hung out, were lazy, cooked good food. I started writing this as the kids skated around in circles at the ice rink. It was the last day open for the season. When things come to an end, they make room for new beginnings- like spring of course! But now, I’m finishing writing this a few days later. It was a short week, but it feels soooo long. We are ready for the weekend!  Basketball

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running through the grass. Children’s laughter and dogs barking stream through the warm air and grilled food wafts by your nose.

I write.

What an absolutely beautiful life.  Sitting on our front porch with my head on your shoulder, you turn to me and say “look at this little life we’ve built.” 💕  It’s been almost 7 months since I last blogged, so many times I wrote and never finished. I'm always writing. Always writing whats in my heart or mind. I write to express myself, whether it be my wedding vows or about my son's football team winning the youth Super Bowl . I twist and turn the words until they make sense and are ready for me to share out into the world. I used to paint, scrapbook, write poetry and have a ton of other hobbies to pass the time, but for now I just write and take as many pictures as I can. I'm busy building life, homemaking, home schooling, working when I do, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend and raising my three children- and that to me is the most beautiful poetic thing I can think of.  Someday, there will be time to paint, to travel, but right now, I'm exactly wher
