I have never made homemade onions rings until now. I know. Was I crazy? Yes. They are going to be made more often now. I can't even look at the frozen kind you cook in the oven. Nope. Not a glance. These are incredible. I completely ate them all. Well, my husband had a few. Anyone who knows me, knows that I can out eat my 6 foot, two hundred something hubby. It's what I do.

Peanut Butter Cornflakes
Peanut Butter Cornflakes are a wonderful no bake dessert. They are extremely addicting so beware! My neighbor made these when we went up the canyon one summer and I fell in love. Such a gooey treat! Peanut butter and gooey-ness just say, "Eat me! I'm delicious!" I always double these and they still don't last long enough. You can drizzle melted chocolate on top if you want, but I love them just the way they are. Peanut Butter Cornflakes Print Author: Mandy Bird Ingredients … [Read more...]

I finally made some and I wasn't disappointed. You can eat them so many different ways. I shared some with my neighbor across the street and she asked me how to eat them. She'd never had them either. You can serve them with butter and jam, flavored butters (just whip together butter and jam or flavored … [Read more...]
