We had these for supper last week and Lauren ate 3 helpings! They are so simple yet flavorful! (plus I always have canned beans on hand, so they are handy!)
Great Green Beans
2 cans of green beans, drained a little
1 beef bouillion cube
1 T. Worcestershire
1 t. soy sauce
1/8 t. garlic salt
1 T. butter (I don’t add this….actually I forgot it was in the recipe!)
Mix all in saucepan and simmer 15-20 minutes.

Graham Cracker Crust Recipes
Hi! This is for LeeAnn, who has a wayward graham cracker crust and needs to fill it!
First, the easy, fast one....
Turtle Pie
1 graham cracker crust
3 T. butter
3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. chocolate chips (recipe calls for milk, but I use semi-sweet)
3/4 c. pecans
Mix butter and eggs well. Stir in the remainder and pour into prepared graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 for 30-35 mins. When serving, drizzle with carmel and chocolate sauce.
Second, the not so quick one...but VERY worth it!
Fresh Strawberry Pie
1 graham cracker crust
1-1 1/2 qts. of strawberries (I usually use about a lb.), hulled and sliced
Filling:
1 pkg. cream cheese (light is great!)
1 T. milk
2 T. sugar
Glaze:
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. cornstarch
dash of salt
1 3/4 c. water
1 pkg. strawberry jell-o (I've used SF without a problem)
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, milk, and sugar-mix until smooth. Spread over the bottom of the crust; arrange strawberries on top.
In a saucepan, combine 1st 4 glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook/stir for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in jell-o until dissolved. Chill. Pour over berries. Refrigerate. Best served the day of or next day.

More tie-dyed cake
So, I'm really, really into making these...Lauren's b-day cake was really cute, even if the pink frosting was a little TOO vibrant! (It tasted great!)
Pumpkin Bars
Pumpkin bars are a perfect fall comfort food! This recipe comes from Kurt's grandma and was one of the first I requested from her!

2 c. sugar
2 c. pumpkin (1 can)
4 eggs
2 c. flour

1 t. soda
