Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars (Super Healthy) by Ashley

My 8yo and I made these last night on a whim. We had all the ingredients in our pantry. They are delicious and healthy. My boys loved them.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

Ingredients:
scant 1/2 cup peanut butter
scant 1 cup pumpkin puree
2 cup oats (whole rolled; not quick cook) (I used quick and it still worked)
1 cup brown sugar, packed (I used Splenda brown sugar)
1/2 cup white sugar (I used Splenda)
1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup each of add-ins: white chocolate chips, Craisins, or whatever your heart (or pantry) desires (I used Craisins, chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir by hand. Spread batter (it will be pretty moist) into a foil-lined and sprayed 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bars may still look underdone, but that's okay because they will continue to set up as they cool. Allow to cool very well before slicing into squares. Store extras on the countertop, refrigerator, or in the freezer for long term storage.

Buffalo Chicken Chili

Hey Friends!! This recipe is super easy and quite good. Beware that it is a little spicy. If you like wings or anything buffalo style then you will like this. Buffalo Chicken Chili Ingredients : 2 chicken breasts (cooked & shredded or raw & whole) I used 3 total. 1/2 bottle Frank's Buffalo Sauce 1 (15.5-oz) can beans (garbanzo, black, pinto, whatever!) I used garbanzo. 1 large sweet onion, chopped 2 (15-oz) can tomato sauce (oops! I think I only used 1 can) 1 can cream-style corn 1 cup salsa 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped I used sliced jalapenos in a jar. Directions : Dump everything into the crockpot, and stir well. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. If your chicken was raw when you put it in, take it out after about 8 hours, shred it, and then stir it back into the chili. Enjoy!

Yummy Corn Casserole By: Lindsey

Hey ladies! Well, just wanted to let you in on a GREAT recipe that my mother-in-law shared with me. EVERYTIME I make it people go on and on about how much they love it. The other day, at a neighborhood block party(where I knew no one) someone called me the corn girl and asked everyone to give me a round of applause for the corn casserole that I made(and they did). Ha! So, definitely try this one. You will LOVE it! 1 8oz. cream cheese 1 can creamed corn 1 can whole kernel corn(drained) 1 box of jiffy corn bread mix 1 stick of butter Mix all the ingredients together(I would highly recommend using a mixer...not by hand). Spray a small pyrex dish(unless you double the recipe, then use a 9x13). Pour the mixture into the dish. Bake on 400 for 45 min-1 hour. Take out when it is a little brown.
