calmingsolitude rated and reviewed the recipe Peanut Butter Chocolate Jumble Bars

"I made this in a 9.5x13.5 pan and it was just enough I think. I didnt have quick cooking oats so i used instant oatmeal, cinnamon flavor, i figured that would be the least intrusive on the flavors already in this bar. I also used milk chocolate instead of dark and i had no peanuts so i left them out. The bars came out very tasty, almost chewy. wonderful and easy! :)"

calmingsolitude rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

"Just made this today, the whole house smelled great when I came home from work! I found the cream of onion soup suprisingly & I used cream of mushroom with roasted garlic (thought it might add a little extra flavor). Added 1 tbl fresh parsley, decreased the chopped onion to 1/2 a cup, added 2 dashes worchestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp more pepper, 1/2 tbl sea salt, onion & garlic powder. I added 1/2 pkg of cream cheese but I dont think it really added anything to the dish.. plus it left little white specks in it (I couldnt get it to melt completely, maybe I should have left it out to soften first). I think next time I'll add more sour cream in place of cream cheese. Overall very tasty, the family liked it, clean plates! :)"

calmingsolitude rated and reviewed the recipe Layered Peanut Butter Bars

"My son loves anything with chocolate/pb combo so I made these and he went crazy on them! Everyone who tried them loved them. SOOOO easy to make, the only gripe I had is the chocolate topping didnt cut smoothly so it wasn't as neat as the picture but they tasted amazing, so who cares?! lol"

calmingsolitude rated and reviewed the recipe Lemon Cheesecake Bars

"They were a little sour/bitter for me and i am a lemon fan, I LOVE anything lemon! Of course they looked nothing like the picture, I dont expect that.. however I think I was expecting a more delicate texture and the crust was very tough/chewy. Not bad but not great either, I dont think I'll try again. :("
