Serve this as crostini or bruschetta Or just serve with crusty bread. Pita chips? Not so much.
Tapenades … Don’t they usually contain sardines and olives? Skip the sardines this time and let’s make this great appetizer that can become dinner if you’re not careful … it’s filling!
It’s a mystery! Hmmm I don’t recognize the handwriting and the address on the back of the recipe card doesn’t ring a bell. From the city address this looks to be at least 20 years old. If mom had lived there I’d say this was a friend of hers recipe … Mom loves Butterfingers. The mystery probably will go unsolved but thank you whoever you are.
Yep, I did a search for candy bar cookies and while similar recipes … that’s about it. An interesting tidbit … other candy bar cookie recipes give a variety of candy bars to use … even combinations of candy bars. This recipe will accommodate other candy bar choices, too. If you need a change up I’d stay with caramel and nougat candy or chocolate covered peanuts … Baby Ruth for example. I’ll leave these choices to your imagination. No George, maybe not Skittles. But who knows! Not my choice for a cookie though.
Today is Father’s Day and a great day for one of my Dad’s favorites. Yep, we used Kraft Parmesan!
Before I tell you about this sauce I’d like to give you the links to my Italian Red Sauces in previous posts. Why? Well, first Dad’s Favorite Spaghetti Sauce is anything but Italian sauce. And while I love this, if you are searching for Italian Red Sauce I don’t want to disappoint you.
Click on any of the 3 links below for a simple Italian Red Sauce. The sauces will vary slightly.
Braciole, Stuffed Pasta Shells, Spaghetti Meatballs and Stuffed Mushrooms
Click on the link below for Old Fashioned Italian Sauce that requires more time & ingredients.

This repost is for you Dad! His favorite cream pie. He didn’t get to experience the peanut butter cookie crust. And I’m not sure he would enjoy anything other than the tradition crust with his pie.

Loved cooking for Dad.
Miss You!
Craving something blueberry for dessert? This cake works nicely. Whips up in minutes by hand and within 30 you are enjoying this dessert … warm with a dollop of ice cream.
This old fashioned dessert, sometimes called Blueberry Buckle, can second as a coffee cake.
I’ve used 2 six ounce ramekins to decrease the baking time. And I really enjoy the look of this individual serving dish.
If Dad is a meat eatin’ connoisseur this is the perfect meal for Father’s Day! The nice thing about these ribs … they’re all meat. Boneless beef short ribs!
Served here over a bed of romaine lettuce sprinkled with gorgonzola crumbles and blueberries. No dressing needed. Include the roasted potatoes from the previous post … And dinner is served.
Amazing!
This is so simple it is almost embarrassing if it wasn’t so delicious! Did I say that correctly! The picture is this: 5 ingredients, 10 minutes total prep, 15 to roast … and lots of compliments for so little work. Love it!
I’m not saying this meal will need the Ketchup I made for my last post but some just like my homemade ketchup.
Today I’m putting together a hearty man pleasin’ dinner everyone will enjoy. And I bet Dad won’t mind helping with the grilling on his brand new barbecue. So what’s on this menu?
Oven roasted sliced russet potatoes with parsley and garlic butter
Grilled marinated beef rib kabobs.
My garden is producing so many wonderful fruits and vegetables. I’ve made sauces and soups. Roasted and BBQ’d vegetables. Served fresh berries. Enjoyed the salad cucumbers. What can I do now? It’s time for a family barbecue. And what condiment do many enjoy at a barbecue with their roasted potatoes, beans, hamburgers, hot dogs and even steaks? Ketchup!
And when you realize how easy it is to make ketchup and the deliciousness of the homemade variety … well, you’ll have this on your menu all summer long!
And a great day to revisit my donut posts: Spice Cake Donuts, Filozes Portuguese Donuts, and Donuts With An Attitude.
The Spice Cake Donuts still stand tall! I love cake donuts!
This Portuguese donut recipe is a variation of filozes … made without yeast. Whipped up in minutes and meant to be eaten immediately. The traditional with yeast is on the menu soon.
Donuts with an Attitude was my attempt to recreate the famous croissant donut cross. While it was delicious the appearance and lightness were not close enough to the original. I haven’t given up.
If you need an excuse to eat a donut … today is your day!
