Snowy Sunday!

Wow, what a day. Thanks everyone for your questions and comments. I think everyone is dreaming of warm weather at the Tree House today. Well, I say, "Plan On"

Snowing

Home and warm. Now I can relax in front of the fireplace and watch it snow. We'll see what tomorrow brings :)

I just got a great idea

Combine this wonderful menu with a weekend at the Tree House. Save $100 on your 2 night stay and have a wintry sweet introduction to 2012

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

It's Christmas...

and I do believe the Christmas Angel has arrived.


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !

Brrrrrrrr

Oh Baby it's cold outside. But there is wreath at the door, a hat on the carving, and a little tree to bring in the Christmas feel. Oh, and don't forget the fireplace to keep you warm. Aaaahhhhhhh

Awesome Spicy Peanut Brittle

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup salted dry roasted peanuts

Spray a large sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, syrup, butter, salt and pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Clip a candy thermometer on the side of the pot and boil mixture without stirring until temp reaches 300. Immediately remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle baking soda over the syrup and stir. The contents will bubble vigorously. Stir in peanuts. Quickly pour mixture evenly onto prepared sheet pan. Use a small spatula (sprayed with nonstick baking spray) while it is still warm. Cool completely and break into pieces.
