No Bake Treats for a Bake Sale
Our church will be having a rummage sale and bake sale next weekend. It's too hot to turn on the oven. I'm needing ideas on No Bake treats or desserts I can fix, that won't require refrigeration (like pudding), afterwards. Nothing with chocolate, as it'll melt in the temperatures we're having now. Thanks for your help! (At our last bake sale (in May), I fixed mini cheesecakes, they didn't sell very well.)

Pyrex Bakeware in Different Shapes
Does anyone know whether or not you can buy Pyrex or other glass bakewear in shapes like hearts? My favorite recipe is best baked in glassware rather than metal, but I need a shape other than square or rectangle. Most round ones have sides like you would expect for pies - but do they make one with straight sides? Thanks in advance for any help!

I am looking for a recipe that my mother used to make when I was a child, about 20 or so years ago. It was a savory healthful breakfast cookie-type thing. The recipe was originally distributed in a recipe booklet by Quaker and it called for oats, eggs, bacon, and cheese among other things that we have forgotten. Does anyone have this recipe?
Thanks!

I have a big bag of mixed frozen fruit that's been in the freezer for a couple of months. It's still good, not freezer burned or anything. I haven't used it because I don't know what to use it for!
I thought about making smoothies, or topping them with pancakes, but I want to use them in a unique way.
Anyone have any unique and tasty ideas or recipes?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Bread and Butter Pudding Recipe
We spend a large amount of each year in South East Texas where we often eat 'Bread and Butter Pudding' this is unlike the British dessert of the same name and I would love a recipe for it. It is quite lemony, with a kind of custard and fruit in the bottom, the bread and butter bit is on the top. Can anyone help?

Use good old dry powder mix for your lemonade - I prefer Country Time, but any will do. Then, go over to the alcoholic mixers, but you won't be going to get drunk. You're just going to get the strawberry stuff. I like the kind that has the puree in it, not just the juice or flavoring. Mix up the lemonade like you would for your family to drink in either 1 to 2 gallons. Then add the strawberry puree. It takes about 1/3 to 1/2 a big bottle to make it taste and look just right. Of course, you may have to sample it along the way to be sure it comes out all right. Serve it over ice and you've got yourself a very refreshing drink. It's yummy without all the work!

This happened to me a couple of months ago. I was making my family's favorite "smashed" potatoes, when I realized I didn't have any milk in the house. Bad news. Everything else was ready! I quickly looked in the fridge and found a bottle of blue cheese salad dressing and I thought, "why not?"
Well, I'm very pleased to say that my family, including in-laws!, LOVED it and "begged" for the recipe. All I did was substitute the salad dressing for the milk!
I've since tried ranch in my garlic smashed potatoes, turns out to be another "family favorite".
"Accidents" aren't always bad!

Tender Juicy Barbecued Pork Ribs
Tender Juicy Barbecued Pork Ribs (Crockpot)
I have found a recipe for the most delicious ribs 'n sauce, and you don't have to stand at the grill all day! They are tender, juicy, simple and yummy!
Place ribs in slow cooker.
In small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour sauce over ribs, turning to coat. Cover, cook on low for about 5 hrs, checking periodically after 3 hrs, to make sure they aren't over done. You want them strong enough to be able to grill!
Transfer them to a plate and cover. Take the sauce and pour into a sauce pan and reduce. Add ribs to grill and baste with reduced sauce!
Very simple and easy for a hot day! Grilling time is very quick so don't leave them for too long!
