    Butter Cake Bars

    October 5, 2018 - By 

    Recently we celebrated my Father-in-law’s birthday and I wanted to make a cake, but wanted something other than your typical chocolate cake.

Servings: 15-18 depending on size Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 tbs. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 softened cup butter 3 eggs 8 oz. softened…

    Chocolate Topped Peanut Butter Blondies

    December 23, 2017 - By 

    Blondie? No not that Blondie. More like this… You know I’ve heard of the food Blondie, but never really knew what it was. I always kind of thought it was a cookie of some sort. But, for many years I’ve wondered what the yummy peanut butter bars that I used to get at good old Glenview Elementary way back in the 80’s when I was a student there. They were always so yummy with a light chocolate topping. I recently started doing some research and started seeing some recipes that looked and sounded much like what I had looking for.…

    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars

    November 1, 2014 - By 

    I love these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars. Now I will preface this by saying I don’t love Pumpkin Pie, so I have found it’s the Pumpkin Pie spice that is the whole reason why. Consequently, I just leave that spice out when making stuff that asks for it. I never realized how adding pumpkin makes cake so moist. Try these next time your in the mood for a sweet treat and have your house smelling amazing while doing so. Servings: 24 bars Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbs. pumpkin-pie spice (I…
