Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Recipes From The Heart Of Your Home. Don't forget to check out the Christian resources we have linked to on the left of the page. I am a Christian wife and mother, doing my best to take care of my family and be a good steward of the wonderful blessings God has given us. I enjoy cooking for my family and doing it unto God for His glory. I love to cook from scratch when it's affordable and not too time-consuming and I especially love to bake. Lots of family and friends ask for my recipes so I've decided to put them on a blog so they can get them or anyone else who wants them. I think you can make good quality, good tasting food at a fraction of the ready-made price and it doesn't have to break your budget. Please let me know how these recipes turn out. They're our family's favorites. I'll be updating this blog as often as I can. Enjoy and God bless!

Rice Crispy Treats and Variations



These are so easy and cheap to make and great for kids. You can make them fancier by drizzling chocolate on top or using flavored marshmallows or flavored cereal such as Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles. You can also mold them into shapes or use cookie cutters to cut them out and decorate them with icing and candies.



Rice Crispy Treats

3 tbs. butter
1 pkg. (10oz. about 40) regular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
vegetable cooking spray

1) Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2) Add crispy rice cereal and mix it quickly before it starts to stiffen up. Stir until well coated.

3) Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly into 13 X 9 pan coated with cooking spray. Cut into 2 in. squares when cool.

Yield: 24 squares

Microwave directions: In microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows at HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above.


Here's the Fruity Pebbles Treats. These are a sugar rush!


This is the Cocoa Pebbles Treats version. This is my favorite.



Oat Bar Variation:

Instead of using crisp rice cereal, use toasted oat cereal (Cheerios). To make it healthier, you can add 1 cup of dried raisins or cranberries.

Are you a good person?
