Café Con Monica

weekend junk…

March 4, 2014

So I may have mentioned I moved in with The Boy finally…we are going to try and be all domesticated and stuff. First official night moved in and the pipe in the basement breaks(you don’t even want me to start on how that happened) and we have no water. I would really just like to say a giant EFF YOU to Chicago weather.

Anyway…I had a great weekend! Thursday I got to see Dierks Bentley at Joe’s , Friday-  I got a little bit of time to do nothing and watch Scandal and House of Cards, Saturday-got to go out with my girls and Samba move my feet in what I thought might appear to be Samba- our butts off and Sunday- I got to spend some time with the family sledding & having yummy food!

Dierks Bentley!
Samba event! 
Sledding! 
How was your weekend??

Tasty Tuesday on Thursday….

February 20, 2014

Since I used Tuesday to announce my blogiversary giveaway…which you should check out if you haven’t already I thought I might post my tasty recipe today instead!

(I ended up eating a few before I got a good photo) 

Ingredients: 
3/4 C. unsalted butter
3/4 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 C of flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt(I used sea salt)
1 C Kraft Caramel bits(or in my case cut up pieces of caramel)
1/2 C crushed pretzels

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a bowl beat sugar and butter until fluffy, add egg and vanilla. Then mix in cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips, crushed pretzels and caramel. *The dough will be chunky and look kinda dry. Spoon onto baking sheet and sprinkle with salt & pretzel. 


Bake 8-10 minutes or until they start to get gold around the edges but don’t over cook. 

Then enjoy! They are seriously so delicious!
