Maple bacon chocolate toffee

Yup, you read that right. I made this after the hubby came home with the recipe from a coworker. It was adapted from this recipe.

I made 1/2 a batch and stirred in a scant 1/4 cup chocolate chips at the very end after it was spread out onto the silpat. Mine looks much butterier than the one on Foodie with Family, I'm not sure why. I can tell you it doesn't affect the taste! Man this is RICH stuff...very very addicting. Probably excellent on ice cream. I'll have to check that out since the summer weather seems to be happening now that it's the END of SePTEmBer. Sheesh.

Lamb Barley Stew (Slow Cooker style)

I've been looking forward to doing some fall-style meals and this one really hit the spot.

Southern Biscuits for Breakfast

Yogurt Pumpernickel Bread

This bread came out quite nicely; I was really worried about it when I didn't see it rise much during the first rise. Also the instructions say to add the flour last which is not the way I've learned to make bread.  I cut the recipe in half and just made one loaf and we have been enjoying it with breakfast and as an afternoon snack. Its not too dense, has a nice tang and tons of flavor.
