Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

S'mores Squares

Making cookies and s'mores has never been easier! Or better! This combo is one that can't be beat. They're super good if you add a big ole' scoop of vanilla ice cream on top because it makes it extra good!!! (Not that I would know this from personal experience or anything.)
