Breakfast Pizza

This is one of my favorite breakfast to make ever but it is time consuming for sure. However, if you are smart, unlike me, you can make and cook the pizza crust the day before and have it ready for the next morning, then all you have to do is make your eggs, bulldog gravy (this is what my granny calls it), bacon and sausage. But it is what it is.. Making the dough fresh is one of my favorite things to smell and do. It is super easy when you have a good quality bread machine ( Amazon store front ). Bulldog gravy is something my granny made all the time for us, it was a treat of course due to it mainly being bacon grease, flour and milk. 😂 Start with cooking your bacon, use that for the gravy.  Bulldog Gravy: 1/4-1/2 Cup Bacon Grease 1/4 Cup Flour Milk (I just pour until its not thick then thicken it) Salt & Pepper, to taste -Place grease in sauce pot, warm up. Add flour and cook off for 1-2 mins be sure to whisk often. Now, pour milk, I usually just add enough milk to thin out the

Healthier Caramel Apples! Corn Syrup FREE

Caramel apples are one of the easiest, yet rewarding Holiday treats you can make your family. The you use healthier, organic, pure ingredients they make me slightly better (by no means am I saying they are good for you, they are a treat and treats should be enjoyed once in awhile). For the longest time, as long as I can remember, I have been afraid to make candy or use the candy thermometer for many reasons.. 1) I burn myself so easily! 2) I am accident prone! the list could go on forever!! But, I embraced this task because I love candy apples around the Holiday times and have not been able to enjoy them since we switched to organic 4 years ago. Well, I embraced the candy thermometer and task at hand to curve a craving and enjoy an amazing Holiday treat! Making caramel is super easy and truly only requires two ingredients. You do not NEED a butt load (<----Hahaha!) of sugar (actually none at all!). You MOST DEFINITELY do NOT need corn syrup (<---- barf!!) at all; that ingredient is one added ingredient that does not do anything for the caramel, honestly. Anyways.... Grab the kids, and your ingredients and pop into the kitchen! You can make these into mini's; all you will need is a melon baller and you are good to go. Just use the melon baller, scoop out pieces around the apple (leave skin on), dip in caramel, and then nuts or whatever toppings you wish and there you go!

You Will Need:
6 Small Apples
1 Cup Honey
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Cup Heavy Cream
Chopped Nuts
Chill apples in the fridge for 1 hour, at least, after washing them well.
These are what I used
Poke sticks in apples
Mix all the ingredients except apples and nuts
Cook until your thermometer says candy; whisking
Perfect
Cool caramel a little and dip apples
Then dip in nuts! YUM!
