Peanut Butter Cake Bars

Need a quick, last minute dessert for the family or potluck? 
We were having family out for our usual Sunday Supper and I had no idea what to make for the dessert so searched around Pinterest and found this easy recipe.

Simple Beef Stir Fry

Have you ever had a craving for something, but there were no places around that cooked that particular food or dish?
    Well that is basically the answer for just about every craving I ever have. Living in a small town, we don't have much. Yes, we have a McD's, Sonic(yuck!), and Denny's(double yuck!),a few pizza places, an itty-bitty teeny-tiny italian restraunt and a Soulman's BBQ, but that's it. No sushi, no Chick-fa-la, no Starbucks, no  french bistros, no amazing mexican restraunts. NaDa! They are all in the neighboring towns. (we actually have a small chinese place that opened recently, but the "food" is mostly sauce, not meat or veg; so we only went once.)
    Recently, I have been wanting Chinese food. Stir fry to be exact. Beef and veggie stir fry to be even more exact. Well after looking online for several different recipes, I did what I usually do. I combined a few recipes and made it my own by changing some things.

Mix together everything for the sauce and cut the onion and pepper(s) 
I actually had some assorted peppers already sliced and frozen; so I measured what I thought would equal 1 pepper

Simple Brownie Recipe with a Chocolate Frosting

For the past few months, my grandparents, my aunt, and uncle have been coming out the the ranch on Sunday nights so we can have dinner and see each other since we all go to different churchs now, and dont get to see each other that often. Well I found a recipe for brownies and I thought that I could make it for our sunday dinner since everyone in my family loves sweets, especially brownies. I decided to make a 1/2 batch yesterday, just to make sure that they tasted good, before i made it for everyone else to eat. (pictured below)

The brownies turned out to not only be simple to make, but they tasted good too. If you usually make a store bought brownie mix, and you think that this recipe will taste similar, then you would be wrong. These brownies are rich and fudgy and oh so decadent.I ended up letting my parents have a small piece and took the rest over to a family friend who works at a salon, so she and her clients could have something sweet to eat.
 There is also a frosting that you can make which you can use on the brownies or omit.

Here is the Recipe:
