Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars (Pinterest)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup AP Flour
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter (split)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cup quick oats

Frosting:

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 3 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp cocoa
• 1/4 cup milk, whatever you have in the fridge (I used evaporated)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugars, 3/4 C peanut butter, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients, just until incorporated. Then, stir in the oats. Spread onto a greased 11 x 15 Jelly Roll Pan (cookie sheet). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.

The frosting is a two step process. First, whip the remaining ¾ C Creamy Peanut Butter until it becomes lighter colored and fluffy. Carefully spread the whipped peanut butter over the pan cookie.

Then, add butter to a small sauce pan and melt the butter. Add the milk and cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Heat just until boiling. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Then, gradually add the powdered sugar. Stir until thickened. Pour over the peanut butter and gently spread over the cookie. Cool completely, and slice into bar cookies.

Potatoes, green beans, and ham..in a crock pot :)

Ingredients:

• 8 red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
• 1 (16 oz) package of frozen green beans (or fresh)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cups ham, chopped, I used hormel sliced ham in water (or 1 lb of slightly cooked bacon)
• 1-2 cans of vegetable or chicken broth (low sodium and fat free)
• 1 Tbsp Tony's seasoning
• salt & pepper to taste

Add ALL of the above ingredients to your crock pot, stir to combine, cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Use your own judgement on the amount of broth. I like a lot of broth with my cornbread.
Super easy and tasty!

3 Layer Fudge Brownie Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 box of fudge brownie mix (follow ingredients/directions on the box)
• 1 package of large marshmallows or 2 handfuls of mini marshmallows

Frosting:

• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 8 oz or more powdered sugar

Prepare brownie mix as directed on the box. Spread into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Bake as directed on box. While the brownies are cooking, mix all of the frosting ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Once the brownies are cooked, remove from the oven, spread the marshmallows over the top and put it back in the oven for 5 minutes, until slightly brown, remove from the oven and top it with the frosting. Let it set for about 5 minutes. Serve HOT! It's very rich and sweet so I would recommend sharing :) I made this for my husbands work. Super easy!

English Muffin Bread (Pinterest)

Ingredients:

• 5 1/2 cups warm water
• 3 packets of rapid rise yeast (1 pkt equals 2 1/4 tsp)
• 2 Tbsp Salt
• 3 Tbsp Sugar
• 11 cups bread flour

In a LARGE mixing bowl, combine ALL ingredients. Spoon into 4 greased loaf pans. Dough will be sticky. Let rise in pans until dough reaches the top of the pans.

Note:To make them rise quicker, while I'm mixing the dough I turn the oven on it's lowest setting, wait for it to heat up, then turn the oven off, leave the door ajar for about a minute and then put the loaf pans in the oven to rise.

Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.

10 minutes before they are done, brush the tops with melted butter. Let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then flip them out on a rack to cool completely. Super easy and NO kneading!

Slice, toast and enjoy! I served it with my Pineapple lemon jam! Yum!
