Celeste's Salted Caramel Latte

Happy Friday!

So, I must admit...I made this Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce earlier in the week with one main goal in mind - Salted Caramel Lattes - and many of them! And let me just say...they have indeed been glorious!

The caramel sauce in this latte recipe is more flavor-packed than the store-bought kind. So, instead of the 2 tablespoons that I usually add to lattes, this one is plenty sweet with just 1 tablespoon. However, definitely feel free to adjust to your taste.

I love the depth of flavor the homemade sauce brings to this. And it wouldn't be complete without a dash of sea salt over the top.

Come along and make a latte with me in the following video!

Celeste's Salted Caramel Latte

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

8 oz of your favorite milk

2 shots freshly brewed, hot espresso

Dash of Flaky/Coarse Sea Salt

Extra Caramel Sauce to drizzle over the top

Directions:

In your favorite coffee mug, add 1 Tbsp Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce.

Steam your milk to 140 - 160 degrees F, making sure to create plenty of beautiful froth on the top!

Brew 2 shots of your favorite espresso and immediately pour it over the caramel in your cup. Stir well, until the caramel is completely melted and smooth.

Slowly pour in your steamed milk, gently stirring as you pour. Top it off with plenty of milk froth.

Add a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top, followed by a dash of flaky/coarse sea salt.

Take a sip and fall in love with your new favorite espresso drink.

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread - Southern Living

***There seriously aren't very many things that smell better than Banana Nut Bread baking in the oven. Don't you agree? This recipe for Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living magazine was one of the very first recipes that I added to this blog...back in November 2007! In fact, I came across it when I worked for the magazine as a Marketing Intern. Back then, I didn't have a photo for every recipe, and the blog post was simply the recipe and nothing else. Because this is my go-to recipe for Banana Nut Bread (and because it is so amazing!), I thought that it deserved a little more attention. This is quite honestly some of the best Banana Nut Bread that I've ever had. An entire 8oz. package of cream cheese is added right to the batter, along with 4 mashed bananas. The cream cheese adds so much to this recipe, with an incredibly moist texture being the main component. Plus, the roasted pecans are the perfect ad...

My Favorite Quiche!

***It's not often that a recipe is worthy of re-posting. I think I've only done that once or twice in the entire time I've written this blog. However, this is one of those rare occasions. Back in 2009 when Brad and I went to Europe, we had the most amazing Quiche Lorraine at the incredible Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris. It was delicious and was served alongside a yummy salad of fresh greens (Quiche Lorraine sur Salade Verte). Oh, it was heaven on a plate! It also didn't hurt that we were sitting on the patio of one of the most famous cafes in Paris, after all...haha. The atmosphere and people-watching in that particular area are hard to beat. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was sitting at the table right next to us (the tables were situated pretty close together). She was dressed to-the-nines, was all by herself, and was just the quintessential, classy Parisian lady. I wish more than anything that I had tried to strike up...

Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls

***Alrighty, here are the cinnamon rolls that I mentioned in my previous post. I put these together on Christmas Eve, and then baked them on Christmas morning. Let me just tell you...there's nothing quite like the smell of yummy cinnamon rolls wafting through the house on Christmas morning...ahhhhh...so wonderful! This is going to be a new tradition for us...fresh, homemade rolls on Christmas. I thought that I might try this recipe, and then maybe try a new one next year...until I found one that I really loved. However, I hit the jackpot on the first try! This is THE recipe that I'll always use. UPDATE: Since originally writing this post in 2008, I've made these cinnamon rolls every year for Christmas! They are a holiday tradition that my family looks forward to all year! You can see my other posts here, with lots more photos of these sinful cinnamon rolls: CHRISTMAS 2009 CHIRSTMAS 2010 CHRISTMAS 2011 The great thing was that I could prepare them on Chr...
