Toffee Bars
I first had these bars when a roommate of mine in college made them. I never got the recipe so I winged it when I started making them a few years ago. They are very simple with a nice crunch.
Pudding Pound Cake
When I was young my mom made a pound cake that had pudding in it. I always loved this cake. It was incredibly dense and moist. Awhile back I got a hankering for this cake but my mom didn’t remember how to make it. After a few failed attempts to re-create the recipe I finally got it and made myself a wonderful vanilla pudding cake. This is probably the easiest cake you’ll ever make.

Not So Bad For You Green Bean Casserole
Green Bean Casserole does not have to be bad for you. Replace the french fried onions inside the casserole with dried minced onions and cut down on the amount on top by crushing them. Combine that with 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup and this traditional side dish is made not so bad for you.
Easy Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
This casserole is oh so easy to make and very yummy. In fact, I don’t think there is a casserole that is easier to make. I think that pre-made gravy is awesome, it makes weeknight dinners easy and tasty, but beware of it if you are watching your sodium. You can also make this with cream of whatever soup, I like the Campbell’s Healthy Request version, lower in fat and sodium than the regular ones.
