Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

2 eggs

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup water

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 13x9 inch cake pan. Mix all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and beat with a mixer for 2 minutes or until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread into the cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Remove from heat and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Cut into bars and remove from pan.

A favourite recipe in my house. The bars have a delicious, cake-like quality.

-- Yes, you can use white cake mix instead =)

Good for you, Courtney! Baking is becoming a lost art; I'm glad to hear young people like you are interested in it.

How about a fruit crisp?

Apple Crisp

5 - 6 medium sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 - 1 cup sugar (depends on how sweet the apples are)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 cup flour

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, softened

pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 375F.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, and spices. Stir well, and let the apples get a little juicy. In the meantime, make the streudel topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together well. Mix in the butter until you have large crumbs but not a paste. It will look like lumpy sand.

Place the apple mixture in a 9x9" baking pan. Sprinkle the streudel topping over the apples, making sure all the apples are covered. Place in the oven and bake about 35 - 45 minutes or until apples are tender and their juice has thickened, and the streudel is golden brown.

This is a fast, easy little cake that my grandmother used to make all the time. It's a good way to use up extra apples, pears or even peaches...

GRAM'S APPLE CAKE

1/2 c. sugar

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 TB baking powder

1 TB butter, softened

1/2 c. sour cream

1 cup flour

2-3 sliced, peeled apples

...Beat first 6 ingredients well. Pour into greased square pan. Top with peeled, sliced apples and sprinkle with some sugar & cinnamon. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 for 30-50 min......

I have several easy recipes on my website. One is for a double chocolate brownie, no bake chocolate cheesecake or a chocolate pan cake. Several others are equally easy. They all have chocolate as an ingredient, so if you like chocolate:

Layer the following in a deep bowl or a trifle dish:

nilla wafer crumbs

real whipped cream

Other versions are:

ganache or chocolate syrup

chocolate mousse or chocolate pudding

real whipped cream

white cake peices
