Who remembers their favorite dessert from school lunch? Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars were my favorite. Practically perfect in every way. I actually liked school lunch. Back in the day when you got full and didn't come home starving. Like today. I look at my daughter and son's lunch menu and think, "Really? You are supposed to get through your day of school and recess on that?" I get kids need to be healthier and all that, but why can't they be full, too? Now my son's youngest's … [Read more...]
Deep, Dark Brownies
Deep, Dark Brownies are for the ultimate brownie lover. Full of a rich chocolate flavor that you won't be able to resist. These Deep, Dark Brownies are here for my husband. I am not a huge brownie fan. Unless you add mini marshmallows, broil them and add chocolate frosting. So these are in honor of Lance who enjoys brownies. Don't get me wrong, these brownies are great. I am just more of a cake and pie fan. Get ready for a delicious treat! They are adapted from Matt Lewis of … [Read more...]

This Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is the perfect recipe for when you want to nibble that dough but don't want to eat raw eggs. It's perfectly safe to eat.

These Double Cookies and Cream Bars will have everyone asking if they can have the recipe. They are absolutely delicious and perfect for any occasion. Cookies and Cream.
