I remember the school cafeteria serving up super cheesy pizza rectangles with a delicious crunchy crust and I needed to get in line quickly because this pizza was the first thing that they ran out of and my favorite on their menu.

If you were lucky like I was, we had some amazing lunch ladies that made some of the best lunches. Alas, kids these days won't know how good food could be. Anyway, one of these items was a peanut butter bar dessert, and oh my goodness... it was such a prized item. If you were lucky, sometimes they'd let you come grab another one if lunch was just about over and they had extra (also rare). Keep in mind that this is for a jelly roll sized portion. If you would like to make a 9x 13 size portion, just cut the recipe in half. Here's what you'll need to make about 24 large or 48 small bars:

One day a week, without fail, my family goes against societal norms and lives dangerously. Breakfast for dinner is serious business in my house, and one of the few meals that no one has to be pestered to eat. We load up on scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and french toast. Sometimes we add waffles, egg muffins, or even chipped beef into the mix. Sometimes we even make a breakfast pizza!

Breakfast Pizza a Kid-Friendly and Easy Weeknight Meal

I think I speak for the masses when I say that scrambled eggs are one of the most delicious, timeless, enjoyable dishes ever created. It’s the first thing I ever learned to cook with my mom at three years old, standing beside her on a chair, with a kitchen towel “apron” wrapped around my waist. Its the culinary embodiment of sheer simplicity and pure magic.

Louisiana State

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Whenever I go out to eat where hush puppies are served, I can't help but order some. They are so addicting! Unfortunately, they're also usually pretty expensive for what they are. Last time I ordered them at a restaurant, they were $1 each. That was definitely a wakeup call for me since a whole batch can be made up for not much more than that! Here's what you'll need to make about 24 hush puppies:
