Caramel Shortbread we are going to make these soon!!
Caramel Shortbread
Caramel shortbread is a deliciously naughty little snack packed full of evil calories! Eat in moderation.
Ingredients
For the shortbread
250 g (9 oz) plain flour
175 g (6 oz) butter or margarine
75 g (2½ oz) caster sugar (or ordinary sugar)
For the caramel
400 g (14 oz) tin of condensed milk
150 g (5 oz) butter or margarine
150 g (5 oz) brown or white sugar
For the chocolate topping
200 g (7 oz) milk or plain chocolate.
Method
1 | Prepare the shortbread base by mixing the flour and sugar in a bowl, then rubbing in the butter to produce a smooth paste-like dough. |
2 | Press the dough into an 8″x8″ (20cmx20cm) baking tin, or a Swiss Roll tin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. |
3 | Prick the dough with a fork and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin. |
4 | Prepare the caramel by melting the butter gently in a pan. Add the sugar and stir until a “sludge” is formed. |
5 | Remove from the heat and stir in the condensed milk. Bring back to the boil and simmer gently with constant stirring for 8-10 minutes. |
6 | Pour the hot caramel onto the shortbread base, spread it out evenly then leave to cool completely. |
7 | Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan or boiling water. Pour onto the caramel and spread evenly. Place in the ‘fridge to harden the chocolate then cut into squares. |
Veggie Pizza + Cheese!
My son really hates vegetables so I do my best to make him eat them or drink them. So I used baby food, veggies and I got carrots and seasoned it up with pizza seasonings and garlic powder. I did drop in 2 tiny drops of red food coloring though because the carrots were just an off orange color. I also made a store bought powder crust and used mixed veggies in there. Topped with some mozzarella and he loved it!!! I told him what I had done and now he said he wants to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner cause it was soooo good lmao he kills me!!
The start of our Garden.
We are planting lots of things in our little garden.
We laid this big piece of plastic down and we planted 12 different kinds of seeds, cherry tomatoes, beef steak tomatoes, rutgers tomatoes, peppers, green peppers, banana peppers, hungarian something peppers, eggplant, swiss chard, peas, green onions and radishes. He enjoyed it. We both planted 6 little trays of each seed.
