The Sweetest Week- Ever.
You, no doubt, didn’t miss a thing this week in the word of food and blogging. But in case you blinked, here’s a synopsis of some of my favorite mouth watering edibles found in the foodie blogger’s world.
Linda at ButterFlourSugar rocked the Casbah with Carmel Honey Pecan Slices. The recipe is a breeze, besides the fact that it’s in grams and I’m a stupid American incapable of conversion. Luckily, my baking scale is smarter than me, and can help me out.
Katy at SugarLaws showed off with a Apple, Honey, Goat Cheese Tart. Now the question is: do you eat this tart with a small side salad, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream? After much thought and deliberation I’ve decided that the only decent option is to have a slice with a small salad and wash that down with another warmed slice topped with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
Deb at Smitten Kitchen is a master of all things delicious. She didn’t disappoint with her Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Squares. Ok- these left me with stars in my eyes. If there were a bank filled with D de L Cheesecake squares, I would rob it, and I wouldn’t feel bad… at all.
Want to make Valentine sugar cookies? The recipe is a hop, skip and a jump away.
Thank you to all you talented and hungry people who make my life a whole lot sweeter!

Hey Joy!
I’m Australian and down here we’re all metric baby! But! I’m such a nice person I thought I’d do you a favour and list the ingredients for the Caramel Honey Pecan Slice in your usual American language
10.5 oz plain flour
3.5 oz brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
6.3 oz cold unsalted butter, diced
Topping
3.5 oz unsalted butter
7 oz brown sugar
3 big tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of cream
¼ teaspoon salt
8.8 oz pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
I’m pretty sure our teaspoon measurements are the same, but I know that in America, one tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons whereas down here in Oz, one tablespoon equals 4 teaspoons. Go figure! I calculated all the measurements in ounces (ahh I’m still freaking out! Bring back metric!) so I hope that helps. I just love online converters!
Happy baking!
Linda
Linda- You are brilliant and so kind! Thank you!
