These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars are a favorite of mine. They’re so easy to make, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Healthy oats help give these bars their chewy cookie texture! Great for the lunch box!

I like to freeze most of the batch and they are delicious and chewy straight out of the freezer.

Boy-oh-boy are these Bayou Brownies ever good! The bottom layer is almost blondie like in its chewiness, and the nuts are a wonderful crunchy surprise.

Yum! So different and SO GOOD!!! Very easy to make

Not like your usual Brownie. The best thing about them is the cream cheese/cake mix texture variation, which you don’t normally get with the standard one-texture brownies.

This 14-Carat Carrot Cake is just like the cake that one of our local restaurants serves (they claim it’s the best in the United States).

No, there aren’t 14 carrots in it–only two, but this carrot cake with pineapple and pecans and a cream cheese frosting–worth every cent!

This recipe is the best! It is from a Junior League Cookbook.
