Creamy Lemon Oat Bars

If you like lemon bars, here is a nice little twist for you! It's not as tangy as a lemon bar, but it's still so yummy! My husband is a HUGE fan of lemon bars, and when he tried one of these, he says that these are ALMOST better than lemon bars...almost. 


It has a nice creamy center, but a yummy oat crust on the top and bottom of it. With brown sugar mixed in, you really can't go wrong. The only problem is, it doesn't make enough to last 48 hours...so you'll just have to make more soon! Because I assure you these puppies will be gone PRONTO.


Creamy Lemon Oat Bars


Ingredients:
- 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 t grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 t baking soda
- 1/4 t salt


Heat oven to 375. Coat 8x8 pan with non-stick spray. Mix milk, lemon zest and lemon juice in bowl until thickened and set aside. Mix remaining ingredients in medium bowl until crumbly.


Press HALF of the crumbly mixture in pan and bake for 10 minutes.


Spread lemon milk mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle the rest of the crumbly mix over the lemon milk and press down gently. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Nothing is better than homemade mashed potatoes! So much better than ones right out of the box. I have a recipe for you that is so easy to do, you'll be thanking me later. Some people think mashed potatoes take a lot of time, but with this recipe, you gather your ingredients, put them into a pot, and walk away! Garlic Mashed Potatoes Ingredients: - 6 medium red potatoes - 3-6 cloves of garlic (depending on how garlicy you like it) - milk - butter Fill a large pot up with water (enough to cover all your potatoes). Bring that to a boil. Meanwhile, wash and quarter your potatoes and peel the cloves of garlic. Once you have your water to a boil, sprinkle a little salt and put the potatoes and garlic in. Let them boil for 30 minutes. Once they are done, drain all the water out, use a potato masher (I use my mixer) to mash your potatoes and garlic. I just splash in some milk and put a tablespoon or two of butter in, but you can put in  as much or as little as you...

Fruity Pebble Rice Krispies

Bringing rice krispies to a whole other level! I LOVE rice krispies, love, love, love them! For my birthday last year, i got a 1 pound rice krispie & i ate it...all. It was delicious. These fruity pebbles added into the mix just make everything better. Just make sure that when you're making these, you have a big enough pan to mix everything in. Ingredients: -8 Cups Rice Krispies -4 Cups Fruity Pebbles -1/2 Cup Butter (1 full stick) -2 (10.5 oz) Bags of Mini Marshmallows -1/2 Bag of White Chocolate Chips Directions: Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray In a large sauce pan, melt the butter. Once butter is melted, add both bags of mini's to the mix. Stir until melted & remove from heat.  Pour your krispies, fruity pebbles & white chocolate chips into your marshmallow mix & stir to combine evenly. (Keep in mind, your white chocolate chips are going to melt mostly since the butter/marshmallow mix is still warm). Press into your 9x13in ...
