Happy Friday! Are you as ready for the weekend as I am? I am looking forward to watching a couple of movies and relaxing. We do not have any plans and I hope it stays that way. Sometimes it is nice to let the weekend unfold gradually.
If the baking bug hits you this weekend you should consider whipping up these peanut butter bars. They're pretty delicious and do not take long to make. Also, you probably already have the ingredients at hand.
