"This is a great bar cookie. I have been making this since I was in high school (can you say that 70's show) and it always comes out great. I know my mom gave me the recipe but I have no idea where it came from. To be honest it probably came from the newspaper she was always clipping recipes. You are gonna love these & the nice thing is you can change the flavor by changing the jam, we also use apricot."

<p>I like to refer to myself as a Mis-Placed NYer.  I have been living here in Northern VA for 12 years now and go back to NY whenever I can.  I work as a Human Resources Analyst. I love where I work, and the people there are wonderful.  They also love to eat which is perfect since I love cooking. We have potlucks all the time. I'm always on here looking for something interesting to make.  I have posted some recipies as well that I hope (if you try them) you enjoy. I live with my husband and our spoiled kitty Harley. I also enjoy reading, singing, theater and going for long drives especially in warm weather when the convertible goes down and the wind is in my hair.</p> <p>It's hard to write about yourself LOL I can be a bit loud and love to laugh. I make my own greeting cards which I find very rewarding.  I have tattoos and am what one would call a BBW.  I have no problem with that, and if others do well thenit's their loss for judging me without knowing me. Don't you hate when people do that?  Oh well..drop a line if you like. I love meeting others and love trading ideas around.</p>
