These cookies are a serious cookie that will fix your sweet tooth craving. The nice chewiness of the brown sugar bring to these Pecan Praline Cookie is incredible plus topped with a smooth chewy caramel like praline topping topped with chopped pecans will make these a great fall time cookie. These are definitely a good substitute for the normal chocolate chip cookies.

These cookies use very few ingredients to make. All you need is unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, a large egg, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking soda and salt. You start off by creaming the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy and then add the egg and vanilla. Lastly you add all the dry ingredients an then you have the simple batter for theses cookies.

Using a 1-1/2 tablespoon scoop, place the batter on lined sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12mins until the cookies are browned on the edges.

A praline is a confection the has sugar, cream, and some form of nut, with pecans it would be classified as an an American praline. The praline topping is very simple to make and turns out fantastic for the topping for these cookies. For the praline topping add the cream and brown sugar in a small sauce pan, stir until all of the sugar is mixed in smooth. let the mixture boil for two minutes then pull off the heat and mix in the powdered sugar until a smooth caramel brown sauce is made. I let it cool for about 5minutes before adding it to the cookies. Top with the chopped pecans and the cookies are ready to be enjoyed. Once the praline topping as cooled completely you can stack the cookies up and store for days and they will stay nice and chewy.

Is it just me or does everyone love a slice of warm, moist slice of banana bread fresh from the oven?? This banana foster bread recipe delivers a great moist banana bread, topped with a sugary, rum flavored walnut streusel. This banana bread will become one of your favorites instantly.

The first thing you want to do is get the oven preheating to 350F. You want to then start by creaming the butter that is at room temperature and the granulated sugar until you get to a light a fluffy consistency.

In a bowl, I like to use a wire whisk to break up the bananas vs a fork or a masher. You can mash and whip them together to get that chunky  apple sauce like texture a lot easier. Mix in the two eggs and add it to the butter sugar mixture. Mix everything until well combined, add all of the dry ingredients slowly until just combined. Do not over mix for the light and fluffy texture of the bread.

In a smaller bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, rum extract, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Pour the bread batter into a into prepared loaf pan add top the batter with the foster topping.

Bake at 350˚F for 55-60 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let banana bread rest for 10 min before transferring to wire rack to cool.

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to barbecue, but on days like today where it is all rainy with no sign of letting up or in the middle of the winter when it is negative degrees below zero there need to be a way to get a great flavor rib without needing to go out in the elements. These oven baked BBQ ribs come out fall off the bone tender and juicy.

In a bowl combine  the brown sugar,salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard and  chili powder. Once mixed add the apple cider vinegar to form a thick marinade. On a foil lined pan, rub the marinate onto both sides of the ribs. Cover with foil and let rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour, over night is preferred.

Ina 300°F oven, place the ribs in the oven covered and bake for 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours until the internal temp is about 180-190°F degrees. Brush on your favorite sauce and back for an additional 20-30minutes until the sauce caramelizes onto the ribs.

Let the ribs rest for about 5 minutes then cut the ribs into individual ribs and serve.
