Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

Rice Krispies Treats have been around as long as comic books and the Wizard of Oz. That’s 87 years! Whether or not you’ve been a fan, you have to at least give Peanut Butter and Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats a try! My grandsons don’t love the original recipe, but when we made this version together, they were on board! Seriously, these are so good!

What’s so good about this recipe is that there’s no baking required, and they come together in less than 30 minutes! We had so much fun making these together. They made a lot, so after I sent some home with the boys, we had plenty to take to camp for me to share with some of the counselors.

Refreshing Frozen Pies

I’m re-posting a recipe today from many years ago, simply because these pies are perfect for summer meals! They’ve gotten hidden in my blog, so I wanted to share once again and make sure they’re listed on my recipe page as well. Enjoy!

Summer days call for cool treats, and one of my favorite things to serve (and eat!) is a frozen pie. They don’t cause the kitchen to get heated up, and they’re so refreshing to enjoy on a hot day!

The two recipes I’m sharing today are Strawberry and Peanut Butter. They are creamy, cool, and delicious!

Lemon Pudding Cakes Recipe: Perfect for Any Occasion

We had the sweet blessing this weekend of enjoying dinner at our daughter and son-in-law’s when they were hosting some of our precious missionaries. I love fellowship with my girls and their husbands in their homes. They are both terrific homemakers, cooks and bakers, and it’s a joy to watch them serve their families and others with their gifts.

When Alli invited us to join them for dinner, I asked what I could bring to contribute to the meal. She said she hadn’t planned anything for dessert, if I would like to make something sweet. I was happy about that!

She told me she was making baked chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots and rolls. Since it was going to be a filling menu, I wanted to bring something that tasted a little light. Suddenly, a recipe came to mind that I hadn’t made in a good while – Lemon Pudding Cakes.

Peach Cobbler for Two

Because there are just the two of us eating most meals at our house, and because we try to eat healthy most days, I attempt to not keep sweets on hand! But when a celebration comes along, it seems that dessert is a special addition to the meal!

Recently on Father’s Day, I went to Taste of Home’s site to scroll through their recipes created specifically for two. I love that they offer scaled down portions! When I came across a small Peach Cobbler, I knew I had found the sweet treat we would enjoy! This was so easy and had amazing final results!

Low Calorie Pineapple-Orange Cake

I have recipe today that is FAST, DELICIOUS and incredibly EASY! How about 2-ingredients for the cake? Yep, two. T-W-O! Cake mix and crushed pineapple is all it takes for the cake portion of this recipe. The icing has more – it has THREE ingredients! Another good thing about this yummy, moist cake is that it is a light dessert. It’s not calorie-free, of course, but compared to most cakes, this one is reduced in sugar and fat.
