Simple Yet Gourmet

If you love the peanut butter/ chocolate combo you will love these bars! I made them last Summer for a ward party and they were gone within minutes with requests for the recipe following the party.  Sadly, I forgot to post them.  These bars recently popped into my head when I was trying to think of a yummy treat to make when my sister and her family were visiting so I searched out the recipe and made them again.  Both our families loved them! The second time I made these I halved the recipe for the peanut butter mixture but forgot to do the same with the fudge layer.  I thought about only putting half on but decided that it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to have twice as much chocolate, and it most definitely was not! * Just as a reference, this picture is from the first time I made these with a normal amount of fudge.  

I can't believe it's been almost a year since the last blog post! I haven't stopped trying out new recipes, just haven't posted them.  Life just gets busy I guess.  Anyway...on to the salad.  This Avocado Shrimp salad  is the perfect meal when I have a little extra time to prepare lunch (longer than it takes to make a protein shake) and want to eat something delicious, hearty, and healthy! I love the cajun seasoning on the shrimp! It gives it just the right amount of kick, and when mixed with the citrus dressing is so yummy.  If you aren't a shrimp fan, this could definitely be made with chicken instead!  I didn't add any fresh grilled corn, because it's winter her, but I'll definitely try that in the summer.  I also left out some onion, and cilantro but if you like those go ahead on throw them in.  Just try it out and adjust it to your liking.
