This is foolproof All Butter Pie Dough. The dough that I make on repeat all year long. The recipe I often double and have extra in the fridge. The dough I use for fruit pies and blind bake for cream pies, even for savory pies. And no, it does not need to be chilled! And because of all of that – it is the best pie dough ever!

As well as a perfect chewy crunch combo. These bars meet all the criteria. And they are easy. Basically not much more than a melting, stirring and assembling the ingredients.
This easy week night pasta and sauce came about as a ‘I am tired and not looking to follow a recipe and want dinner on the table in 30 minutes meal.’
It became immediately known as ‘Quinton’s Pasta!’ In part because he alone had 5 helpings and because everyone, especially said 2 year old nephew, proclaimed it was great.

Cheesecake is delicious! There is nothing to argue there. But it can be finicky and require a great deal of cream cheese in many recipes. So these are technically more of a cheesecake bar with a shortbread base and fresh berry swirl. And they are completely, deliciously awesome!

Continue reading Strawberry CupcakesThese individual skillet brownies are one of my new go-to must have chocolate recipes. They come together so quickly with pantry staples and only take 22 minutes to bake. They are also unbelievably good when eaten warm right out of the oven, straight from the skillet.
