These no-bake peanut butter cookies were always served for school lunch. After marrying, I got the recipe from one of the cooks and have made it many times. This cookie is sometimes made with cocoa powder, but I like this recipe better; it doesn't use any.

Easy Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
This dish will warm your heart on a cold day. I first had this at a friend's house in Louisiana and after a few changes, shrimp instead of chicken for instance, I came up with a recipe I think you will enjoy as much as my family does. Serve over rice with additional seasoning on the side if you like it spicier, as I do. Enjoy.
Instant Pot Beef and Noodles
On those nippy nights, this brings all the warmth home. Plan ahead, the frozen noodles need to thaw in the fridge overnight. This recipe is exclusively for those individuals who may find their only method of cooking is with an Instant Pot.
Basil Goat Cheese Pizza
This is among my husband's favorite dinners! The flavors compliment each other so well and it is so easy! I use frozen bread dough to speed the process. Set out dough before you leave for work and you are ready to go by the time you get home!
