I am a home cook with a passion for creating dishes using ingredients you can find at your local grocery store and share with friends and family. Food is all about sharing and I'm so happy to be able to share my creations with you.
My mom used to make these yummy treats when I was a kid. I don’t remember them being quite as ooey and gooey as when I make them, but they do taste like magic. This is an adaptation of the recipe you will find on Eagle Brand’s website. Eagle Brand makes sweetenedRead More →
