Sunday afternoons are usually our family time and one person in the family is in charge of a special dessert. This no-bake peanut butter bar recipe is usually one of the fastest treats if we are running out of time---and are always delicious! We do have one member of our family who doesn't usually love peanut butter but they do love these. I think the thick chocolate addition on top helps that one ;) Below is our basic family recipe, but feel free to add to it or substitute other things. ... View the Post

They were mostly made up of the same meal, a roast, a potato dish and veggies with some sort of simple dessert. My grandma herself was a self proclaimed "simple cook" so she used lots of store bought things. But those meals were ... View the Post
Copycat Chic Fil A Nugget Recipe
As a family we have been trying some knock recipes lately and this copycat Chic fil a nugget recipe is a keeper. The nuggets are tender and juicy and delicious!
