Can't Be Beet Chocolate Cake

This delicious cake is also relatively healthy and Lenten!  I found this recipe online last year when a friend gave me a beet she didn't want to use.  I'm afraid of beets, and I refuse to eat borscht. However, I will eat anything (afraid or not) if I can hide it in something I do like.  I'll be making this recipe today for our Presanctified Potluck.  It was a big hit last year with everyone, but DH.

So, if you have a beet and want a nice treat try this yummy cake.

Peanut Butter Balls: A Lenten Dessert

These are DH's favorite, and when I brought a tray for the potluck after Presanctified Wednesday, he asked, "Why are you bringing those here?  Aren't they for me?"  Everyone else loved them just as much, but we did manage to return home with two small ones for the next day.  This was a recipe that he learned in his first grade class, but I've changed a couple of ingredients to make it healthier and fastable.

Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1/4 cup ground oats
1/4 cup honey

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.  Roll into balls (and sprinkle with extra powdered sugar if desired).

Quick, easy, and no actual cooking required!
