Delicious Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
I had a recipe like this years ago that I loved and had misplaced it. So when I found myself with a lot of leftover raspberries & blueberries from our 4th of July bbq, I found this recipe and went to work. I had so many berries that I made two 13x9 inch pans so that means I made TWO double recipes. One pan was raspberry & the other was blueberry. I made the berries into a jam like sauce first. This recipe is so simple and so delicious. I can imagine this with so many different jams. I bet pineapple or apricot jam would be delicious. Lining the pan with sprayed foil sure makes life easier. I feel like I'm being somewhat healthy when I eat these. Oats, berries...it's almost health food really! Yes, I highly recommend these. I recommend doubling all of the ingredients and making a 13x9 inch pan. They do not last long.

Blue Ribbon Apple Cake
This recipe is a wonderful way to use up some apples that have gotten a bit soft. I made mine in mini loaf pans instead of a bundt pan. I also topped the baked loaves with a vanilla icing. Great recipe. Be careful not to bake too long. The top still looks a bit wet when I removed them from the oven, even though they were thoroughly baked. Besides the peeling and slicing of the apples, this is a quick recipe to put together.

Chicken Milano
I chose this recipe because I had a carton of cream to use and a family pack of chicken breasts. What a perfect recipe this was to try! This was definitely a tasty dish. You won't get by with just one or two dirty pans - it produces a lot of dirty dishes! Before I made this recipe, I checked out the other reviews and took notes. You MUST make a double recipe of the sauce. The sauce would be enough for maybe just the chicken by itself but if you serve the noodles underneath the chicken, more sauce is needed. I agree with others that the sauce DOES need to be thickened. I followed a couple of suggestions - I added two big handfuls of parmesean cheese - plus I used cornstarch to thicken it. Both worked wonderfully. I also added some mushrooms to the sauce when I added the sundried tomatoes. I might think of cutting back on the sundried tomatoes next time. Although they do contribute delicious flavor to the dish, there are just a bit too many of them. I liked another reviewers suggestion about using fresh tomatoes but instead of putting them into the sauce, I sprinkled some chopped tomatoes on top of my chicken & pasta after I plated it. Yummy! This is a dish that the whole family will enjoy. It's like an alfredo sauce with a bit of spice added. I recommend it.
