Simple 5-Ingredient Date Bars

Last summer my friend Carol had a few of us over for dinner, nothing planned, the kind of evening that just happens. After we ate she set a plate of bars on the table and I had two before I even thought to ask what was in them. She laughed when I asked for the recipe — said it was the simplest thing, barely even a recipe. I went home that night and made them that weekend. I’ve been making them ever since. Why You’ll Love It Practically no effort — one saucepan, one bowl, and the oven does the …

Four ingredients. This is the recipe I text my daughter when she calls me panicked at 5pm. Try …

I’ve been making this casserole for probably eight years and I still don’t measure the pepper. I just shake it until it feels right, which drives my sister crazy when she tries to recreate it. The recipe came from a church cookbook my mother-in-law gave me when we got married — her handwritten note in the margin said “add more butter than it says” and honestly that’s the best cooking advice I’ve ever gotten.

The kind of meal that feels like a hug from your grandma… with gravy.

Maybe even a little old-fashioned. That’s how it is around here, anyway. Out past the towns and traffic, where the fields are just snow-dusted stubble and the roads creak with frost, you start thinking in terms of “what’s good with mashed potatoes” instead of “what’s new on Pinterest.” Try our Slow Cooker …
