Slow Cooker Beef Stew I
Made this just as written, tasted yummy and the house smelled great all day long while it was simmering in the crockpot! Next time I make this I may double the broth and add more potatoes and veggies - I like to make LOTS when I make soups/stews and freeze the leftovers for work lunches and this recipe didn't make a ton of stew.

Grandma's Corn Chowder
Had a WICKED craving for corn chowder for some reason, and this fit the bill. This chowder is rich, creamy, and sweet. Next time I make it I will add more potatoes and things because I like chowders more chunky, but that is just personal preference. A nice thing about this recipe is that it was easy to slim down a bit for my diet! I used fat-free half and half and Canadian bacon instead of regular, and you would never know the difference! Such great comfort food :)

Raspberry Coconut Layer Bars
These are to DIE for! So rich and lovely! I have made these twice now, and have given out the recipe many times. People love them! They look impressive, too - someone asked me if I had gone to a bakery to get them. They do take a VERY long time to make because of having to wait for things to set and chill, so make sure that you make these a day or 2 ahead of when you need them - they are not something you can whip up the morning before a party. Just a tip - I had some trouble getting the chocolate to melt to a consistency where it would drizzle prettily. My solution - I heated a pan of water to almost boiling and then turned off the heat. I put the white and semisweet chocolates in different Ziploc bags and placed them in the water to melt. Once they were all melted, I cut off one corner of the bag and voila! Chocolate drizzle!
