When one is trying to watch what they eat they should probably avoid having really good treats in the house. I have survived multiple batches of cookies (I truly believe the more I bake of something the less appealing it becomes)but then Ben requested I make some nut goodie bars and now I'm in trouble.
These little suckers are so yummy. I think they taste like a baby ruth bar which has the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I made them 2 days ago and I think Ben has had one. I, on the other hand, keep "testing" them. I finally had to put them in the freezer. We went to the Brown's last night for dinner and more running and the plan was to take a bunch over there, but forgot them, ugh. Oh well, I'm sure I can pawn them off on someone :0) If you like to live dangerously, here is the recipe. You can click to make it larger.
Speaking of recipes...I love it when I get recipes handwritten on actual recipe cards. I had always wanted to retype all my recipes into the computer and make it all fancy, but then I read somewhere about how the handwriting of the giver was part of the history of that recipe.
This is "the green cookbook". I have all of "my" recipes in it. You can tell by the splattered cover this baby gets a lot of use. It has to be good to make in here.(yes that is the back of a Bisquik box peeking out the bottom. I keep my bisuik in a jar and I can never remember the waffle recipe) It is also where I put the recipes that are given to me. Here are two recipes that are special to me.
The first one is from my grandma. It is for a Hungarian potato bread. I miss my grandma. How could I retype that. The second one is from my dear friend Megan who shared the secret of the perfect crust. Every time I flip through my book I see these and think of my friends and family. Isn't that part of the cooking tradition? Someday before Ben and Sam leave the nest, my plan is to make them a "green book" as well full of their favorite recipes handwritten, of course, by mom.

It's so hard for me not to eat the goodies if they're in the house! Be strong! That is so neat that you have a recipe written in you grandma's handwriting. Very special.
