YUMMY recipe

Posted on Monday, July 7, 2008 at 07:00


 

Friends, yesterday I made these for a small picnic I was having and they were delciious, and sooo easy, I was asked several times for the recipe.  Here it is.  This is a keeper in my recipe book.

No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
1 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter

Grease 9-inch square baking pan. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and vanilla; mix well.

Stir in oats. Cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes or until ingredients are well blended. Press half of mixture into prepared pan. Use back of spoon to spread mixture evenly.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in peanut butter. Pour chocolate mixture over oat mixture in pan; spread evenly with a knife or back of spoon. Crumble remaining oat mixture over chocolate layer, pressing in gently. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars. (Bars can be frozen; let thaw 10 minutes or more before serving).

 

I had found this on someone's blog a week or so ago but I am sorry and  can't remember who's... but boy are they fantastic, especially if you like peanut butter and chocolate!

I found this recipe on farmerswife blog this recipe from but I made it this week, next time I will snap a picture, it's delicious, quick and easy.  YUM. 

Summer Fruit Trifle

1 (5 ounce) pkg. instant vanilla pudding

3 cups cold milk

1 9" angel food cake, cut into 1" cubes or pound cake

1 cups fresh blueberries (or 4 sliced bananas)

2 cups sliced fresh peaches (or 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries)

1 (12 ounce) contained frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare pudding with milk according to package directions.  In a trifle bowl or glass serving dish, layer half the cake pieces, half the pudding, half the berries, half the peaches and half the whipped topping.  Repeat layers.  Cover and chill in refrigerator 4 hours before serving.  I really think any fruit you would want to put in would be delcious.  It's very refreshing.

Paula Dean's pound cake.

Posted on Friday, March 16, 2007 at 05:47


I made this for dessert one night and YUM YUM is this good.   I always buy blueberries when they are cheap and freeze them.  So not a big expense to make this.  I did use real butter though and didn't substitute margarine.. But boy was it worth it..LOL  Next time I make it I will take a picture and try to add it to the blog. 

 

 

2 C. softened butter (4 sticks) 3 C. sugar 6 large eggs 4 C. flour 1 T baking powder 1/2 t salt 1 C. milk 2 t vanilla 2 C. fresh or frozen blueberries Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time beating well after each addition. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at a low speed, blending well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Fold in blueberries and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

We are currently a family of 5. My husband John, and our 2 sons, John and Anthony and our daughter Amanda. We have 4 other children, who all have grown and moved out. We are blessed with 2 wonderful grandsons, Jaydon and Logan, who I watch while their mommy works. Jaydon is in school all day and Logan attends pre-school right now. We are in the process of remodeling our home, and doing our kitchen which is the last that needs to be done. As I type this John is putting up the tiles on the backsplash. He is almost done with our kitchen and he has done a terrific job.I enjoy couponing, bargain hunting, cooking and spending time with my family. Why don't you come on in and enjoy a cup of tea and read some of my blog. Thank you for taking the time to stop in.
