These bars won’t win any beauty awards, but holy yum are they delicious. Shauna Sever, in Pure Vanilla: Irresistible Recipes and Essential Techniques, describes them as a great alternative for people who love lemon bars but like something a little less messy.

Quesadillas with Black Beans, Corn and Tomatoes
A few days ago we finally got a fish for Alex’s aquarium. We knew you were suposed to start small–i.e., don’t get 10 fish at once–so we just got one. But here is the problem. We got the fish at Meijer’s, where I had not been planning to buy a fish, but we were there…
Trofie Pasta with Bacon, Crimini and Cherry Tomatoes
You may have been wondering what is going on with the aquarium project (check out the Spanish Soup post for a picture). We have had some issues getting the heater working right, so we still don’t have any fish (much to Alex’s irritation). But stay tuned! I am hoping to have some tomorrow!

Indian Inspired Hash of Midwestern Garden Veggies

You want to know how much I love Bundt A Month? I got home from the Outer Banks well after midnight on Saturday. By Sunday 2 pm this bad boy was baking away in my oven. Like I was gonna miss the month with the caramel theme!
Fallback Doctored Tortilla Soup
Ack! Sorry for the delay! I managed to be a good blogger through the first week of vacation, but the second week things just got away from me. Meals got made but pictures were not taken. Honestly I did not even turn my computer on the entire second week (!!).
