Another BBQ and a Crumble Bar

Carmen over at Waxed Out Creative Life shared a recipe the other day for BBQ Lasagna and I just HAD to try it.

I made a pan of it for my bunch and got thumbs up from everyone. It's a definite keeper.

While I was making ours I thought I would make a pan of it for my Dad who is a vegetarian as well as a diabetic. So for his I just substituted Morningstar Farms Crumbles in place of the meat and I used Splenda in place of the brown sugar. It turned out just as good.

I spent that whole day in the kitchen cooking. I made a couple loaves of Italian bread to go with our dinner and tried a recipe for Crumble Bars that I found in one of my Amish cookbooks.

Crumble Bars

1 stick butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. vanilla

2 cups mini marshmallows

1 bag chocolate chips

2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1/2 cup peanut butter

Mix the first six ingredients together and spread into a greased 9X13 pan.

Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.

Sprinkle the marshmallows on top and bake again for another 5 minutes.

Let cool.

Once cooled, melt chocolate chips & peanut butter together.

Stir Rice Krispies into chocolate mixture and then spread on top of the marshmallows.

Let cool and cut into bars.

These turned out pretty tasty. I thought the marshmallow layer sounded a little different but they gave the bars a little layer of fluff.

Needless to say, it was a long day and by the time supper was over I didn't care if I ever stepped back into the kitchen again or not.

However, that thought was short lived because I spent the next whole day scrubbing the kitchen walls and cabinets down. The Spring Cleaning Bug got me!

Now today I hope to dig through my fabric stash and find enough material to be able to sew a new set of curtains for the kitchen window. Not so sure that I will have the right fabric or enough of the right fabric but I'm gonna try and if I don't get off this computer I'll never have enough time to even sew the curtains.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
