Strawberry Rhubarb Bars

I was always reluctant to eat rhubarb, but first ate these without the knowledge of the ingredient a few years back, begged for the recipe and promptly buried it in a file. It was recently rediscovered, just in time for strawberry and rhubarb season. After making two batches in one weekend, I dub it a winner. For all naysayers — TRY IT! I dare thee.

Dilly Casserole Bread

I was six and more interested in playing Ants in Pants when a lady at church taught my mom how to make this recipe, but I distinctly remember the aroma of it baking. If you’ve never tried making yeast bread before, this is the one to start with – as long as you have the ingredients, it is virtually impossible to mess up.
