Honey Peanut Cereal Bars

I have kids. Ere go, I have purchased an alarming number of boxes of little ‘0’ cereal made of oats, such as Cheerios or something similar.  Cereal that shows up in my couch cushions, on the bottom of my purse, and in my laundry.  This kind of cereal is always around so…

Rocky Road Crispy Bars

In some ways, I can’t even believe I am posting this…. This recipe was born strictly out of my need to eat something sweet and chewy.  There is no grand idea or occasion, just me making bars four times this week in an effort to put together something that sounded good in…

Christmas Munch

This may come as a surprise, but there is a bit of a story that goes with this recipe.  I know.  Shocker, right? Years ago, during a pre-children Christmas get together, my husband and I were catching up with a bunch of his cousins.  We were stuffed to our ears with holiday…

Sweet & Savory Mixed Nuts

Every year my neighborhood gets together and does a progressive Christmas dinner the first weekend in December.  Appetizers at one house, soup and sandwiches at another house (although one year we did pastas!) and desserts at a third house.  Everyone decorates their houses and all the lights are on and we visit…

Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies

Mmmm.  Peanut butter cookies.  Just saying the name makes me happy.  I really love peanut butter so the cookie version is just another way of feeding my addiction.  Although ultimately I am a purest and crunchy peanut butter on thick slices of homemade wheat bread with honey is nothing sort of stellar. Speaking of…

Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

Yesterday, I was in desperate need of these bars. I don’t know why, but in the middle of researching different counter stools to go in my new kitchen, I read something that triggered the memory of these bars, and I suddenly said to myself, “I must eat these now.”  I jumped up and…
