…{ and } i’m back.  life’s been a bit hectic since august 30.  first, i had a big assignment at work for two weeks.  next was disney.  then my oldest niece ava’s birthday.  followed by ava { and } my nephew nicholas’ birthday party.  immediately followed by a trip to dallas for work for a week.  came home to sleep { and } head to my ten-year high school reunion, which was far more fun than i ever expected.  had a semi-chaotic schedule this past week.  { and } now sunday.  my favorite day of the week { and } i haven’t left the house all day.  my kind of sunday {minus the mid-80 degree weather this weekend…ugh.  i love fall { and } fall is not here right now}.  i will be doing multiple posts, my apologies, but i’m trying to get all caught up.  so…back to baking.

i was so disappointed that i didn’t get to bake with the sweet melissa sundays group last week.  eliana of a chica bakes is one of my favorites { and } i came up with a great idea {which i still may attempt at a later time}, but ultimately just ran out of time.  so i’m back this week { and } stephanie of ice cream before dinner hosted.  she chose a great recipe for roasted cashew brittle.  i had never made brittle before so i was excited to try it.  i followed the recipe exactly { and } it came out perfectly crunchy { and } sweet.  i would definitely make it again, it was  s u p e r  easy.  if you’d like the recipe just head over to stephanie’s blog.

very simply to make…only 7 ingredients.

cut the butter to 1/2-inch pieces.

packaged up { and } ready to go.
