Miguel’s Jalapeno White Sauce

2 cups whipping cream ( 474 g to 477 g )
1 cup sour cream ( 254 g )
1 tsp chicken base (24 g )
2 tbsp. clarified butter (28.25 g )
1 tbsp. flour (20 g )
1 jalapeno, minced (30 g )
1 tbsp juice from bottled jalapenos ( 30 g )
2 oz shredded cheese – equal parts jack and cheddar ( 56 g )

Method:
Heat whipping cream in a heavy saucepan over high heat. When the cream is ready to boil, stir in sour cream. After sour cream dissolves, reduce heat to medium. Stir in chicken base and jalapeno juice and simmer.

While cream is heating: Make a roux by warming butter in a saucepan over medium heat, adding flour, and mixing with a wire whip until mixture starts to turn pale gold.

Just before cream mixture is ready to boil again, add roux, whisking briskly and constantly until roux is incorporated. Remove from heat; stir in minced jalapeno and cheese mixture. Makes about 3.5 cups.
I usually double it, becasue it goes fast.

Yummy Caramel Bars

Ingredients:

2 c. butter (I know a lot, just don't think about it:)
2 1/4 c. brown sugar
3 c. flour
3 c. oats (quick or regular)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 bottle Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel Topping (ice cream topping-I find it at Winco and Albertsons)I also like to nuke it for 20-30 seconds and find it spreads easier on top of the mixture warm.
16 oz milk chocolate chips  

Directions:

Soften butter. In large bowl mix butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, salt and soda, using a pastry blender. Do not over mix, mixture should be crumbly, not cookie dough-like. Take 3/4 mixture and press onto a cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown. Pour caramel sauce on top of hot crust, spread evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Then sprinkle remaining oatmeal mixture on top. Bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely and enjoy!!!
