My husband is a big fan of these lemon bars. Give them a try! I made these to take to a friends' house when we were invited to dinner. The brownies I made from a box and I lucked out that the lemon bars and brownies turned out the same height to make this checker-board pattern work out.  The lemon bars are pretty quick and simple. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Blend together (cut in): 1 cup softened butter (substitute: Smart Balance and/or shortening.*)  2 cups flour 1/2 cup white sugar Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together: 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1/4 cup flour Whisk in: 4 large eggs 6 Tbsp lemon juice (about 2 lemons juiced) Pour over baked crust and bake for 20 minutes. Cool to firm and cut with a pizza cutter. Top with powdered sugar. *I used 1/2 cup Smart Balance and 1/2 cup shortening

When making shish kabobs a while back, I started without realizing that I only had a few sticks left. So, out of desperation, I decided to stick with my grill plan and use the aluminum foil method. It all turned out as great as I could have imagined and didn't take as long poking all the pieces onto sticks too.  Great flavorful meal!

I made these delicious enchiladas using this  recipe for the sauce. I made a lot of the enchilada sauce mix and it's so easy to throw it together for a meal that way (Scroll down for the sauce mix recipe and instruction).  Enchilada topped with fresh Pico de Gallo. I added an unusual ingredient to these enchiladas, green cabbage, chopped small. It gave them added moisture (since the cheese is lacking and can't accomplish that) and nutrition and honestly, none of us could taste it in there, even though I put like half a head. In the bowl of chopped ingredients: grilled chicken, cut bite-sized Cabbage cut small Black and Pinto Beans Finely chopped red bell pepper. Coarsely chopped cilantro Garlic Salt Boiling Enchilada Sauce Coating tortillas and layering ingredients. You can make the sauce each time you make enchiladas using THIS RECIPE , or you can make some dry sauce mix in advance to help dinner preparation be more speedy. ...

These are an easy and tasty addition to a meal. Using my new Simple Slicer from Pampered Chef, I whipped these potato and sweet potato (or yam) chips up in about 20 minutes.  Seasoned lightly with garlic salt and sprayed ever-so-lightly with cooking spray/oil spray. I love how the yam chips curled up and browned so nicely. Both tasted great and were loved by young and old in our house.
