Cornflake Caramel Brownies aka Golden Brownies
I found this recipe for the most amazing brownies and then had to tweak it with high altitude adjustments. Cornflake Caramel Brownies are made in three big steps: first toast the cornflakes, then bake the brownies, and finally cook the caramel sauce to coat the cornflakes; throw and press the cornflakes on top of the…
Cheddar Apple Biscuits with Sage (High Altitude)
These biscuits are easy and amazing for any meal, but I served them for breakfast. I will definitely make them again so decided to share the recipe. Keep in mind that I live at high altitude, so the baking powder is needed in less quantity here. I added a tad more milk (as reflected below)…

Liliane’s “Retro Trolls” 2nd Birthday!
When I went home to my parent’s house at Easter, I went through my stuff stored in their attic to find my old Troll dolls. I decided it was time to take them back into my possession, so I brought them back to Colorado to introduce my old favorite toys from my elementary days to…
Milk Bread
When quarantine started over a year ago, I took up a new hobby: making and keeping up with sourdough. Here is one of my favorite sourdough recipes, but I will not take all the credit. I got it from This Old Gal. Hokkaido Milk Bread is the best sandwich bread ever! I also love to…
