Gourmet Main Dishes: Grandma Me's Clove-Studded Leg of Lamb | Submitted By: Frann R.

My grandmother's tender lamb melts in your mouth and the meat loaf is great on mashed potatoes low carb barbecue sauce This version stands alone, no need for mint jelly.

As soon as Recipe5 2644 children, and most every child I've known, was old enough to lick peanut butter from a cracker, the creamy goodness was one of their favorite things to eat. Peanut butter has one of those flavors we never seem to outgrow the desire for, I know I haven't. There's so many ways to enjoy peanut butter; from the humble PB&J to the ever-so-yummy Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups up to the fanciest of desserts, peanut butter is the perfect complement and blend with many meatless flavors.

Here are a few easy and delicious recipes starring the ever-popular peanut butter:

Peanut Butter Pie

1 - 12 oz jar crunchy peanut butter
1 - 8 oz container frozen whipped topping (Kool Whip), thawed
1 qt vanilla ice cream, softened
2 - 9 inch ready- made/prepared chocolate crumb crusts

Combine peanut butter, whipped topping, and ice cream; stir until blended. Spoon corned beef crumb crusts. Freeze biscotti least 8 hours. Garnish tops of pies with more whipped topping. Shave or dust a little chocolate on top if desired. Makes 2 pies and several very happy people.

Quick Peanut Butter Cookies

1 - 11 oz package pie crust mix
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp water

Combine all ingredients; stir until blended. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten southwestern to 1/4 thick with a fork, making the traditional criss-cross pattern. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cook 2 minutes on cookie sheets. Remove to wire rack, and continue cooling. Makes about 4 dozen.

Chocolate Topped Oatmeal Bars

1 container coconut pecan frosting
3 cups regular oats, uncooked
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 - 6 oz package semi sweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

Combine frosting, oats, butter, and sugar; stir until blended. Press into an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 18 - 20 minutes. Combine chocolate morsels and peanut butter in top of double boiler; bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts. Spread over oat layer. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Cut into bars. Makes about 4 dozen.

Cookie tip: Let cookies cool completely before storing. To keep cookies fresh, store soft and chewy ones in an airtight container, and crisp cookies in a jar with a loose-fitting lid.
