Kid-Pleasing Sloppy Joes
This is one of my kids' favorite recipes! I could make this five times in a row and they'd never get tired of it. It's easy to make and a real quick, hot meal for those busy nights. I will add cheese on top of these kid-friendly Sloppy Joes or warm the rolls in the oven. I occasionally add mild banana peppers on top for my husband since he is a fan of spicy things.
Blueberry and Banana Cream Cheese Pie
These pies freeze well; enjoy one now, and freeze the second pie for use later!
No-Bake Snickers Pie
This no-bake Snickers pie tastes just like the Snickers bar you know and love—caramel, peanuts, and chocolate, but in a fluffy, creamy pie. Roasted, salted peanuts in the graham cracker crust add delightful crunch and salt. Any Snickers lover will easily fall in love with this decadent pie.
