Welcome

It is too easy to get stuck in a rut of cooking the same meals over and over. I often get requests for my recipes and people ask where I get all my ideas. I thought it was time I compile my recipes, ideas, and suggestions into one place to share with others. In this blog, you will find tips I have for success in the kitchen, kitchen gadgets that I recommend, and recipes. Recipes are tagged with the main ingredients along with cooking style to make searching easier. Enjoy!

Fudge Oatmeal Bars

This recipe came from my sister-in-law. They are excellent! But make sure not to overbake them. Enjoy!

12 oz. chocolate chips
15 oz. sweetened condensed milk
3 T. margarine
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tsp. vanilla

Melt chocolate chips, milk and margarine in microwave. Add nuts and vanilla. Set aside.

1 cup margarine
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup oatmeal

Cream margarine with brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Sift flour with soda and salt; add. Stir in oatmeal.
Press 2/3 of this mixture into a greased 10x16 inch pan. Spread fudge mixture over dough and sprinkle remaining dough over this. Dough is very thick so you will not be able to spread it with a knife. You will not be able to cover the chocolate entirely, which is OK. Bake at 350 degrees 20 to 30 minutes. Do not overbake.

Note: Instead of using Walnuts in the fudge, I use Heath Bits-O-Brickle Toffee Bits. Both ways taste great. But personally I don't like nuts in fudge so the toffee bits added a nice touch
