Happily clicking through my Google Reader. Screeeeech. I stopped at Southern Plate’s No-Bake Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars. Oh my. How easy and tasty these would be with Sunbutter® substituted for the peanut butter. How easy to adapt into an allergy friendly treat! Having warehouse club sized powdered sugar and brown sugar on hand helps when [...]

“A man ought to eat what’s offered and be glad to get it!” ~ Rose Watson, Mitford Series My freezer is depleted thanks to the last couple month’s worth of freezer/pantry challenges and good, cheap eats. So, it’s time to batch cook again. Maybe a mini Big Cook. I’ll use what I have on hand [...]
