Why I am blogging......

I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

Weekend Sweetness

Betty Walker's Congo Bars........

1 1/2 sticks melted margarine
1 box light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 1/1 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup nuts
6 oz butterscotch chips                                     
**Blend butter and sugar.  Beat in eggs.
Add dry ingredients and vanilla.  Blend in nuts and chips.  Pour in greased 13 x 9 pan.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until done.  (I usually bake mine 30 minutes).

It is hard for me to chose just one (1) favorite dessert, but I will say this is one of my all time favorites.  I think of  Ms. Betty each time I make them.  She is such a sweet person.  I hope you give them a try!
