Sea Salted Soft Caramels

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!  Mine was perfect!  I was blessed to have both of my kids home with me celebrating the birth of Christ.  I am still behind on posting some of my Christmas goodies.  I have still been under the weather.  Whatever I have caught has now been hanging on for over 3 weeks now...ugh!  Hopefully I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel now.

Pumpkin Spice Cookie Blossoms

Today I am sharing another recipe from a cookie swap.  This swap is hosted by Julie from White Lights on Wednesday 

Pudding Sugar Cookies

Today is the Food Blogger Cookie Swap reveal day!  As you look around others blogs today you will see lots and lots of cookies!  This is the first year I have participated in the Cookie Swap.

Slow-Cooker Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake

I am teaming up with 25 other bloggers for an awesome giveaway.  Be sure to get yourself entered at the bottom of this post!

This recipe was just ok for me.  I did not think it was very sweet.  Next time I am going to use this method but use my own cheesecake recipe and see how that turns out.

I saw this recipe on the Rachel Ray show and it was made by the Chews Carla Hall.  I adapted the recipe to use a different crust and a different size cheesecake.

For the Crust:

3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt 
3 tablespoons melted butter

Chicken Noodle Soup

This Chicken Noodle Soup sure does hit the spot on a cold winter day!  It is a super easy recipe to make.  I have been buying rotisserie shredded chicken from my grocery store.  It's nice to be able to buy my chicken already cooked and shredded but feel free to use your own cooked and shredded chicken.
