When my four girls were still living at home, I made these delicious Turtle Bars quite often. Now that they have all… .jpg) It’s raining hard. Really hard. Scary kind of hard . . . lightening . . . thunder . . . wind. It’s o.k. I’m eating Ice Cream! Healthy & good for you Ice Cream. See. Yes, that’s right. Creamy, soft-serve style ice cream with just one ingredient. I didn’t need sugar, dairy or even an… A fabulous idea! I had 2 frozen sliced bananas in the fridge and just whipped them up with some peanut butter. It was good – but it ended up being a bit, shall we say sticky? a little stringy like bananas sometimes get? It was delicious and I had no problem eating it, but I was wondering if you had any tips for making it more creamy and less banana-y. Maybe a little milk?? Thanks in advance!February 1, 2012 – 6:22 pm I cannot tell you how much I love your blog! Your recipes are so creative So funny – on my blog this week I posted about this ice cream! Except I only added peanut butter to the banana. Cocoa powder or fudge sauce sounds really good!August 18, 2011 – 2:58 pm I love just get off your butt and bake!! (the name too!) We loved this ice cream, I wasn’t completely convinced it tasted like ice cream until I tried it, it’s fantastic. My five year old son told me last night that he put more bananas in the freezer so we could have some more today. I was a little afraid of how he had placed them in the freezer, but he had cut them into slices and put them into a bowl. We are hooked, we will be stocking up on bananas!August 3, 2011 – 7:43 pm I’ve been using frozen bananas since I was a little girl. I wasn’t very fond of eating breakfast and my mother used to make me frozen banana milkshakes and smoothies to get something healthy in me before school.July 13, 2011 – 3:00 pm This is the most incredible simple dessert I have seen for a while. I absolutely love it! I happen to have two bunches of speckled bananas on the counter and just this morning thought – oh, don’t waste them, make banana bread – but this is sooo much better! Thanks!July 13, 2011 – 8:32 am Oh my heck! That is so awesome. I am going to go cut up bananas right now!!! This just may be what I need to get me through the diet and am yet to start… laughing!July 13, 2011 – 8:12 am You are a genius ! Do you think this would work with any other frozen fruit ?July 13, 2011 – 7:09 am Such ice cream I love myself I’ve always been a huge fan of frozen bananas as a snack, and I use them in smoothies. I’ve yet to blend it into “ice cream.” Looks so wonderful!July 12, 2011 – 5:55 pm My husband loves ice cream….I think I’ll have to try this!July 12, 2011 – 5:46 pm .jpg) Summer is a funny creature. I love it . . . I hate it. It’s busy. A man by the name of Russel Baker said it best, ” Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. “ I love the warmth of the sun, I hate the weeds, I love… They make a cheesecake instant pudding too that might work well. My sis-in-laws made these yesterday and they were AMAZING!!!! I am printing out 2 copies of this recipe and keeping one in our fireproof safe. This was delicious!!

You really inspire me .. especially when i see such great photo’sJuly 11, 2011 – 12:55 pm This dessert is so wonderful looking!July 11, 2011 – 9:20 am I used a regular graham cracker crust, sugar free pudding and sugar free cool whip and low fat cream cream. Husband said it was a keeper.

But also, I adore the plate in the second picture!July 8, 2011 – 10:15 pm Yum! Those look so good. I’m going to have to find me some Bavarian Cream. Mmmmm. Just to read Bavarian Cream takes me back so many years when we could get Bavaian Cream Empinadas from Taco Time. We didn’t induldge on stuff like that very often, but when we did, we enjoyed every bite! That cheescake however looks like it would even top and old favorite! mmmmmmmJuly 8, 2011 – 9:19 pm .jpg) Many of you will be celebrating the 4th of July . . . in big ways.

I asked a question on my joint blog with my daughter about blogs readers were loving lately, and this blog was mentioned so I thought I’d stop by. Fun blog and I noticed your play the piano. I do as well when I’m not in the kitchen. Lesa I love that you wrote this. I think it’s so cool to remind people that shortcuts are okay, and still turn into delicious and beautiful treats! Thanks for sharing. Oh, I love the cookie spoon too!!! .jpg) I had a whopper birthday on Friday. I’m not having anymore . . . that was the last one. Over the hill + 1.

The cookbook looks fantasic!June 15, 2011 – 9:39 am I commented on the Rhodes post and liked them on facebook. The cookbook looks fantastic!June 15, 2011 – 9:38 am .jpg) I live in Idaho. We raise a lot of Potatoes. We eat a lot of Potatoes. Mashed . . . boiled . . . fried . . . and everything in between. Without a doubt, if I had to choose my favorite potato dish it would be this one. CREAMY CHEESY POTATOES but POTATOES AU… Hi April, Once you brown your chicken or pork chops, just layer them in with the cut up potatoes. Pour the cream over the top of all of it, season and then add the grated cheese to the top. Cover with foil then bake! JonnaSeptember 11, 2012 – 12:11 pm This looks yummy, can’t wait to try it, but I’m a little confused on adding the chicken/pork. You say to “mingle” it before you bake it. Does that mean add them to the dish and put everything in the over?September 10, 2012 – 9:44 pm I made these and even though they were “good”, I gotta say I like the “funeral potatoes” better. I guess I just prefer the taste of the condensed soup and sour cream over whipping cream.September 2, 2012 – 9:49 am Hi Kallie, I cover with foil for half of the baking time. The Lion house recipe doesn’t say whether to cover or not. Do you cook them uncovered?August 18, 2012 – 2:44 pm I cannot say enough about these Au Gratin potatoes. OMG, WOW. This is by far the best thing I have ever made, in my entire life. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.May 6, 2012 – 4:50 pm WOW! Finally someone who does not like funeral potatoes. Those things are nasty and EVERYONE seems to love them and make them all the time–yuck!June 29, 2011 – 4:50 pm I tried this recipe and it was sooo fabulous! My husbnad loved them and wants me to make them again next week.June 18, 2011 – 7:48 pm Thanks for the delicious recipe! I am a fellow Idahoan and daughter of (two) potato snobs. This recipe looks like a keeper, thanks for all your recipes…I love stopping by!June 15, 2011 – 2:36 pm These are just so dang good! I love the added bacon in these ones. I bet that is good. I think they will be on my menu next week! Yum!!!June 15, 2011 – 8:45 am Oh my goodness does this sound good. I also love your idea of adding pork chops and baking. Definitely gotta try!June 14, 2011 – 2:57 pm Wonderful pics….everything looks so tasty. All I can say is that: “you had me at potato” Yum Mom…I love these! Will you bring some to me? Love you!June 13, 2011 – 5:32 pm This is a testJune 13, 2011 – 4:52 pm I, too, live in Idaho. I, too, am a potato snob! These look amazing! I will have to try them out…perhaps they will become my new “favorite” potatoes! Thank you SO much for continually making me smile with your fabulous recipes & beautiful photos! You’re simply the best. HaileyJune 13, 2011 – 8:32 am Oh dear goodness those look heavenly. We’re planning a BBQ for the 4th and I’m thinking these just might have to make an appearance. Thanks for sharing yet ANOTHER awesome looking recipe!! Well hey now! I like funeral potatoes. Maybe it’s simply because I grew up with them and my mom has a great recipe for them. But your potatoes… those are a whole different species. I can definitely see myself eating an entire pan of those babies.June 13, 2011 – 7:34 am .jpg) Rain. More rain. Windy and Cold. I’m not outside pulling weeds, mowing the lawn, taking long walks or running. I’m too big of a wimp to do all that in the rain and the cold and the wind. My house is cold, so I figured I might as well heat up the kitchen by making… I just made a batch – these are so delicious!! Thanks for posting the recipe.March 10, 2012 – 9:29 pm Made these tonight…delish! The hubby doesn’t like raisins, so half the batch I scratched the raisins:) Loving your blog:)January 26, 2012 – 9:02 pm Old fashioned or quick oats work just fine. I used quick in this cookie.September 4, 2011 – 4:04 pm Hi What kind of oats did you use, old fashioned rolled oats or quick cooking oats.September 1, 2011 – 1:36 am Jonna, I wish I was more like your husband and could stop at only 2 cookies. Not me, I would have a dozen!:) Thank you for the great cookie recipe. I am excited to try them. I will make both my son and my hubby extremely happy with these cookies. Also, I love the cooking site that you passed on to us. Thanks for the good find! You are amazing!!! One of these days we will get a week without rain and life will be good! But really, I can not believe that we are only 3 weeks away from July 4th holiday and we are still wearing jackets. Sooooo crazy.June 11, 2011 – 9:32 pm Congrats.. i have no words to say . what a lovely blog u have.. great space:)June 11, 2011 – 10:48 am We live on oatmeal chocolate chip cookies…can I just say how completely odd it seems to have a man who doesn’t like sweet stuff. Really just odd. You’re photos are AMAZING Jonna. Love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.June 10, 2011 – 6:56 pm Those look beautiful! I on the other hand married a chocolate chip cookie SNOB. I spent the first 5 years of marriage perfecting the chocolate chip cookie, which I think we did! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although, my kids have turned into chocolate chip cookie snobs now too. Help me! .jpg) It’s a rainy Monday at my house. The kind of rain that just mocks your windows and leaves a mess. I mocked right back . . . and made Dessert! Oh well . . . we had one nice day. If your weather is also crappy, this light fluffy frozen dessert will make you feel… 
I have made this for years. It a family favorite in my husbands family. I am actually baking the crust right now and happened to stumble onto your site and there the pic was at the top of the page. Never thought about using different fruit, but I will have to try it in the future.June 15, 2013 – 9:43 am I have had this recipe for years and frequently make it for holiday get togethers. It is always a favorite. A few hints that I have discovered while making it. 1) Watch the nut topping carefully while it is browning as it overbrowns pretty easily. Also, you can use a package of frozen strawberries instead of fresh. It turns out great. Just let them partially defrost before using.June 3, 2013 – 9:35 am I love your site! I want to try all of these recipes in one day because I can’t choose which one I like the best!! Thank you soooo much for sharing!! My husband will thank you too!May 7, 2013 – 11:11 am Made this today. I doubled the batch and put in 9″ x 13″. Only issue I had was with egg whites and sugar. First batch would not thicken (too much sugar I think) so I made another batch with half the sugar and it worked great. Looking forward to having it tonight.August 11, 2012 – 1:21 pm Hi Kelly, Hi, Is there any substitute for the egg whites?June 17, 2012 – 12:33 pm Thank you for sharing your recipe and photos. My mom has always made me a dessert nearly the same (less lemon juice, more sugar) for my birthday for years now and I’m 51–never have gotten sick from those egg whites. Mom’s recipe is titled Frozen Strawberry Squares and she makes it in a 9 x 13 dish so yours must be delightfully, decadently thicker than what I remember of hers. Yumm!!! One thing I’d note for future readers is to not bother trying this recipe with Splenda substitutions. I did and won’t do it again either. Don’t mess with perfection. Thank you!!!June 6, 2012 – 2:47 pm Thanks Donna! Hi! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it for a celebration at work, and it was very much enjoyed all around. Great recipe! http://whatthedogate.blogspot.com/2012/05/strawberry-cream-cloud-crumble.htmlMay 17, 2012 – 11:47 pm My mom would make something really similar to this (pressed the crust into a 9X13 & didn’t crumble it). I loved it! My mom was such a great cook; I miss her so much! I have made this dessert and it is really yummy!May 8, 2012 – 10:43 pm Hi srestica, could i use mangoes instead of strawberries? what do you think.. as its the season of yummy mangoes.April 12, 2012 – 3:08 am Hi Debbie, The egg whites are beaten to make a meringue that is then folded into the whipped cream. The egg white of the egg, is really not a danger, but you could always use pasteurized eggs. If you do, I suggest using 1 extra egg white than what the recipe states. Making Egg White Meringue with Pasteurized Eggs: Pasteurized egg whites do not tend to get fluffy as easily as the unpasteurized egg whites in making meringue, but allowing them to warm to room temperature will help to counteract this tendency toward heaviness. Beaten pasteurized egg whites may never reach the volume of unpasteurized egg whites. If you need a specific volume of meringue, use more egg whites than the recipe calls for to make sure you have enough. What about the egg whites in the mixture? Are they not cooked?March 8, 2012 – 2:57 pm Hi Debbie, Do I understand correctly that you do not back this again after adding the egg whites?March 6, 2012 – 8:28 pm Hi Erin, My grandmother used to make something very similar to this. With your permission I would like to feature this on my website with a picture and of course linking it back to your site. If it is ok, it would be published 02/27/12. Thanks for sharing!February 1, 2012 – 10:13 pm This is such a beautiful dessert! I had to post it on my blog with a link back to your blog. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful blog!June 14, 2011 – 7:21 pm I love this crumble, look amazing!!! gloriaJune 10, 2011 – 1:57 pm Hi Leslie, I think that Cool whip would work just fine. I’ve made other desserts which were similar and used Cool Whip before. Do you think you could fold in cool whip instead of the whipping cream? I cant have dairy so i like to sub with cool whip but wondered what you thoughts were. ThanksJune 10, 2011 – 8:25 am Made this tonight for Bible Study with some ripe peaches we had at the house instead of the strawberries- rave reviews from everyone! Thanks for the delicious (and versatile) recipe!June 8, 2011 – 8:20 pm That looks so refreshing. Thanks for sharing.June 7, 2011 – 8:34 pm I wish it would rain here, maybe that would bring down the high temperatures we’ve been having. Then again the last time it rained while it was hot a tornado came through, so on second thought… I’ll make this dessert and just pretend it’s not 100 degrees outside!June 7, 2011 – 8:30 am What a wonderful dessert!

Gretchen - Jonna,
What do you mean by Caramel Syrup? Could Caramel ice cream topping be used? Can’t wait to try these.
Thanks

Jonna - Hi Tonya,
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda.January 18, 2012 – 5:14 pm
Tonya - When you say “1/2 TSP SODA” .. what type of soda? Also can I use graham cracker instead of quick oatmeal? Do you think it’ll alter the taste much?January 18, 2012 – 1:37 pm
Jonna - Thanks Jana….we also love them!

Jana - Tried these last night….so stinkin’ good!! I took them to a meeting I had this morning so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat all the rest of them by myself today!! I’m posting these on my recipe blog today (or possible tomorrow!):) Thanks for great recipes!!!October 6, 2011 – 10:49 am
Jonna - Oh Monica….I’m so sorry! I’m not sure what could have happened. I’ve never had a problem removing the bars when I use Parchment paper. The brand we find around here, is Reynolds. These are one of my favorites, so try try again. I’ve also made these without Parchment paper, but you need to spray your glass baking dish well.
When the bars come out of the oven, take a knife and go around the edges….quickly, so that they don’t stick. In fact, I do it several times….while they are cooling.
Hope this will help,

Monica - Hey! Love your website! I wanted to share with you my experience with the turtle bars. Not sure what I did wrong, but they stuck horribly to the parchment paper. And I even sprayed it with veg. spray for a little insurance. It was a total loss – had to toss them out. Any advise? Thanks!

Jonna - Hi there,
You can just use a jar of Caramel Topping….like you use for Ice Cream.August 7, 2011 – 3:58 pm
Uzz - Hi These look fab!!! Just wondering what caramel syrup is and if there is an alternative? ThanksAugust 7, 2011 – 7:36 am
Kira - These were so delicious! We loved them. My three years old is still confused why they are called turtle bars, but they have chocolate, so he did not hesitate to eat them. Printed and added to my recipe book. Thanks. (We also loved the one ingredient ice cream – I actually prefer it served soft as opposed to frozen. It was so creamy.)July 21, 2011 – 11:51 am
Aimee - yum. I love anything with caramel. Yum (did I say that yet?)

Lindsay - I love your website I can’t wait to see what your next recipe is. I always go to my google reader and check to see if you have posted a new recipe.
