Tortellini Vegetable Soup

I love soup season! Creamy soups, brothy soups, tomato soup, classic chicken noodle, and bowls and bowls of chili are perfect for this time of year and I can't get enough!

These pretzel salted caramel blondies are also made with browned butter for extra nutty flavor. These easy blondies are perfect all on their own, but warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, an extra drizzle of caramel, and extra crushed ... continue reading...
