7 Layer Bars

I took this picture off the internet. I wanted you to see what they looked like, but I was being too lazy to take a picture!! ha

1/2 c butter

1and 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c peanut butter chips.

Place butter in a 13X9 baking pan. Place butter in a 350 oven until melted. Remove baking pan from oven. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs evenly over butter. Poor the milk evenly over the crumbs. Sprinkle with chips and press down firmly. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

I added coconut, walnuts, and then put all the chips on top. Oh yeah I also added butterscotch chips. they are so easy and fun for the kids to help with!! The coconut and walnuts is what makes them 7 layer bars!! 7 ingredients.....you get the picture right??

Baked Spaghetti Squash w/ Beef & Veggies

I make this every year with spaghetti squash fresh from the garden. It's a pretty forgiving recipe, so if you like something, you can add more or withhold others. Always best with ingredients fresh from the garden! Enjoy!
