I can cook, sorta

I have decided that I want to get into the habit of trying 1 new dinner recipe and 1 new desert recipe every week....so for this week, I decided to make Fresh Strawberry Bars..the recipe came out of Better Homes and Gardens and had been beckoning me to try..so I did. It was fairly easy, other than the fact that I don't have a mixer, so I had to do it all by hand...I am sure most women older than me would laugh, having cooked and baked without special tools..but I am a wimp. I put it in the oven and 25 minutes later it was nice and done. After cooling, I topped it with fresh preserves and fresh sliced strawberries...yummy! The cake/bars are kinda like peanut butter cookies, in cake form. Yum. I can't quit saying that. Yum. My two taste testers, Ethan and Aimee agreed that they were yummy and Ethan begged for seconds, I allowed him to have 2 total. So my first recipe was a success and I will undoubtedly make them again, next time probably with the use of a nice mixer to save my arthritic hands..
