Okay, I am not a food network host or chef, so I am not sure anyone cares about the best thing I ever ate, but I never post recipes so this one HAS to be good.
1/4 cup of brown sugar
8 oz package cream cheese–softened
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

Pinch of salt 
(we LOVE Kosher, but regular works too)
1 tsp Vanilla

Cream together brown sugar and cream cheese until smooth.  Mix in the remaining ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.  That’s it.  So easy, huh?  Oh, and when you ARE ready to serve it, top it with:
Some Heath English Toffee Bits
You are gonna die!  It is so much easier than unwrapping a whole bunch of caramels and melting them, and a whole lot tastier, too.  We dipped Granny Smith Apples and Hanover’s sourdough pretzel pieces, and I have a feeling we are gonna be doing it all season.  Enjoy!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
