When I read the words, “no bake” I feel relieved. It’s not as if putting something in the oven requires any work, just more waiting and worrying if it’s going to come out okay. Not to mention heating up the oven – rarely do I have time for that! Nor do I have the desire to heat up the house. This pie was perfect. I could easily buy a chocolate pie at the store but homemade is best made, I always say. It has that extra bit of love in it that makes it taste so much better.

Chocolate anything is always a winner, so I was anxious to whip this baby up for the family. As expected it pleased my tiny crowd. It’ll make yours happy too! With such a simple and packed full of chocolate punch recipe, I could whip this up for a work or church potluck, too. These are the recipes my recipe box is built upon!

Quick Tip: Top with your favorite whipped topping and chocolate shavings.

No grasshoppers were harmed in the making of this pie! While I am fairly certain in some countries they do have pies made of actual grasshoppers, (ew!) this one just features creme de menthe. This pie gained it’s popularity in the 1970’s and is now a classic dessert. I had never had it before finding this recipe but my grandmother says it was a big hit, and she made it often for company coming. I would have liked to be that company! What an amazing treat for young and old. This one definitely deserves your attention.

I’ve been a blonde, and it was definitely fun. When it comes to these classic treats blonde is a nice change! I love brownies of all kinds whether they have nuts, are frosted, or have caramel drizzled over. They go perfect with milk, coffee, tea or nothing. What I’m saying is I’m all in with brownies!

Am I the only one that remembers the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he sings, “Hot tamales, hot tamales – get them while their hot” or do you recall too? Either way, I love tamales and so does my entire family. You don’t have to watch an episode of Bugs to get the idea, tamales are Mexican fare that feature a tender cooked meat and seasonings inside a cornbread crust. This casserole has all the important players from the meat on the bottom to the soft, delectable cornbread topping. So yes, it’s all in there and in every single bite!

Whether you sang Hot Cross Buns or played it on a recorder in grade school I bet you never realized they were actually a thing – or maybe you did. Well I didn’t! I was surprised to see the recipe floating around and knew I had to make them because my mind was blown.

When I first saw the recipe for Spaghetti Corn I said, “Wait, what?” Needless to say I was intrigued. When I found that it cooks in the crock, I was excited! Then when I read the ingredients I drooled a little bit.
