Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Toffee Bars

Good Sunday Morning!  Got a lovely bar for you today.  Not too sweet, not too crunchy, and a favorite of my son's since the early 70's.  He'd ask for these at least once a week as an after-school snack and whenever the kids brought something to school for a party these are the ones he'd request.  I'd almost bet the recipe came from a Good Housekeeping set of recipe books sold at the supermarket.  Remember?  Buy one book a week and get a free plastic holder with the last book?  The recipe calls for baking a thin bar in a 9x11 pan but every so often I'll use a slightly smaller baking dish for a thicker bar...like today's munchies.  The timing IS 55 minutes but I never let it go that long.  I usually remove at 35 and let them finish in the pan.

Taking a minute here to welcome Katussia.  Katussia has lots of freebies on her blog -and yes, they're freebies - so please go check her out @ http://katussia-just-a-dream.blogspot.com/

Thanks for stopping in, catch ya' later!
