"Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the Doctor's nose!"

According to http://www.quotationspage.com/search.php3?homesearch=nose Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said those exact words at some point in his life (how they know this I'll never know nor will I sit here and question it either).  Right now though, those words slightly reflect how I feel about my nose and the doctors I've seen about it.  Right now I am fighting my THIRD sinus infection since Christmas!  (This one started coming in last Monday!)  For lack of better words, THIS SUCKS!  I feel like someone has slammed the door on my nose!  You can't provide me with a cure or a way to avoid getting another one, I'll slam the door on YOUR nose!

(One co-worker made it sound like this is how my face looked on Monday!)

(To some extent, this is more how I've felt at times! Haha...)

But, in the moments I was thinking clearly this last weekend I did try to make a couple of different dessert bar recipes that I've had stashed away to try.  (I'll share the other later this week.)  It seems as though if I bake on Saturday or Sunday I make enough or more than enough to last us through the week (pending guests and how good it turns out to be).  Today's recipe comes from the Six Sisters' Stuff Blog.  Though I have never met these girls I love them!  I find WAY too many recipes on their site to try (I'll definitely be featuring more recipes from them!), as well as many great tips and tricks to try out! 

(Do these not look absolutely delicious???
SO quick and easy!!!
Please forgive me for borrowing their picture!
My camera is not behaving right now!
Thanks Six Sisters' Stuff!)

Rolo Cookie Bars

1 (18.25 oz.) Yellow, Vanilla, or White Cake Mix, dry (I believe I used a Yellow cake mix.)

5 oz. Evaporated Milk (Make some Potato Soup for supper & use the remaining instead of cream!)

1/4 cup Butter, melted

40 Rolo Candies, unwrapped and cut in half  (I think you could have opened a few more and it would be even better!  Who doesn't love extra chocolate and caramel?)

• Preheat your oven to 350*F.
• Spray a 9" x13" pan with baking spray.
• Beat Cake Mix, Evaporated Milk and Butter until combined.  (Mixture WILL be thick & sticky!)
• Divide batter in half and press half onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake until set (8-9 minutes) & remove from the oven.
• Place the candies, caramel side down, on top of the "base".
• Drop the remaining batter on top of the rolo's in teaspoon sized amounts. (I found it best to scoop out and, since it was so sticky, "break" and drop in chunks with my hands on top of the rolo's.)
• Bake an additional 20-24 minutes longer or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
• Cool completely before cutting into them (if you can stand to wait that long!).

These were super easy, left the kitchen fairly clean afterwards (ok, most of the mess was from something else I was cooking at the same time or had just cooked!).  Plus they are a bar that hasn't gone bad quickly so they've lasted us a couple of days!  I hope you enjoy them as much as D and I have!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!
