Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

Tina37 Comments

As a kid, granola bars were my go to snack.  The peanut butter chocolate chip ones were my favorite and they still are today.  Since I’ve made Homemade Granola, I’ve been anxious to make homemade granola bars. I don’t have to wait anymore.  In fact I’m so addicted to these that I can’t wait to make another version of this recipe, using different goodies like nuts and dried fruit.  These chewy granola bars will please both peanut butter and chocolate fans.  I’m in love with them.  I ate two of them while I photographed them.     🙂 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars …

A few weeks ago my husband and I met up with my family (parents, us 4 sisters, 3 husbands, 2 nephews, and a niece) in Lake George for a long weekend.  We mostly did two things, hang out at the pool and eat.  Does it really get better than that?  (No, it doesn’t.)  I wondered what I could make for the occasion that as many people as possible would like.  I figured it had to contain chocolate since they are chocolate lovers like me.  Plus, I wanted it to contain fruit since fruit is such a summery treat.  Then it …

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies with M&Ms and Chocolate Chips

Tina8 Comments

The combo of peanut butter and chocolate has to be one of the most perfect combinations of all time.  I couldn’t resist taking my classic Soft Peanut Butter Cookie and turning it into a huge peanut butter chocolate party.  Chocolate, party of 2?  Oh yes, I went there, adding twice as much chocolate as a normal chocolate chip cookie.  It wasn’t enough for me to have just chocolate chips.  I also had to have miniature M&Ms too.  Have I mentioned that I adore chocolate?     😉 These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies are packed with tons of chocolaty goodness.

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Tina9 Comments

When I think of a quiche I think of it as a dainty dish served at a lady’s affair, like a bridal shower or jewelry party.   I don’t think any of my male friends or family have said, “Hey, I could go for a good quiche.”  I was using a deep man voice when I said that.     😉    However, every time I serve this quiche to my friends and family (whether they are male or female), they rave about it! Quiches are so versatile.  You can pretty much do whatever you want in it and you can eat it hot, cold, or …

Raspberry Cheese Danish

The day after I made some goodies for my blog, including my cheese danish, I had asked my husband what he was in the mood for me to make.  I tend to ask him this question a lot.  I hope he hasn’t gotten sick of it.     😉  He told me that he wanted the cheese danish again.  Again, so soon?  Yes, that’s how good it was! A request for a repeat, only one day later from when I made it, is awesome. Of course I wanted to honor his request, but I mixed it up a bit.  I took the …
