Lemon Bars

Why does a three day weekend seem to go by just as fast as a normal two day weekend? Perhaps time really does fly by when you’re having fun or maybe it flies by when you’re busy or maybe it flies by when you’re not at work.  (My husband points out that having fun may be defined as simply not being at work.)  I think Labor Day weekend should be a four day weekend from now on because then it might actually feel like a three day weekend.  😉 In between visiting our respective families, I did some baking this …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Tina18 Comments

I’m going to try not to obsess over these chocolate chip cookie bars.  Well, it’s a plan anyway. I made these chocolate chip cookie bars for my best friend’s son’s 1st birthday party last weekend.  I was crazy about them from the moment they came out of the oven.  I was so anxious to cut into them.  I must have asked my husband at least ten times if they were cool enough to dive into (and still be pretty enough to photograph).  Seriously, all bets are off if I’m just making a batch for us… they just need to be cool enough …

No-Bake Cookies and Cream Bars

Tina6 Comments

Oreos and marshmallows.  These are two of my favorite things on earth.  Now imagine making a no-bake bar that combines them together… it’s a reality. I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to marshmallows.  Marshmallows come in three delicious sizes.  Usually called miniature, original, and jumbo (depending on your brand).  I only like the Kraft Jet-Puffed miniature sized ones.  My husband isn’t especially picky and likes all the sizes, but only the mini ones in cocoa.  The jumbo marshmallows are awesome because of their sheer ginormous size, but they’re a bit too sticky for my taste.  Hmm…  By that I …

Peanut Butter Blondies

Peanut butter.  And sometimes chocolate.  Need I say more? I’m pretty sure if you’re a peanut butter fanatic then you’re going to love me for sharing this recipe with you.  Heck, I love myself. I made a version of these peanut butter blondies last year, my Peanut Butter Chocolate Dipped Blondies.  Today’s blondies are a slightly different because they are thinner and I added peanut butter chips to the batter.  Additional peanut buttery goodness is always better, right? As far as I’m concerned, these peanut butter blondies are the only peanut butter bar recipe you’ll ever need.  (Hence, my making it again …

Gooey Mixed Nut Bars

I am nuts for my hubby.  Get it nuts… nut bars.  😉  Even though Valentine’s Day is still a couple of weeks away, I’ve already asked my husband if he’ll be my valentine.  I do this to him every year and he always says it’s not time yet because he feels Valentine’s Day is the day for valentines.  Technically he’s right but it’s good to plan ahead, right?  😉 I usually post on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but I missed yesterday.  Busy?  Lazy?  Tired?  All of the above.  It was however bothering me and couldn’t leave it alone (and I’m …
