July 2018 Recipe of the Month

GoodGrandma℠ Recipe of the month is Peanut Butter Squares by GG’s sister Angela, aka Angie, an amazing sister, fabulous wife and mother, amazing teacher, grandma someday (hopefully soon), and a fantastic baker and cook. She is awesome! These Peanut Butter Squares are a family favorite, especially with my little brother, Weston. The recipe came from Scera Park Elementary, years ago when school lunch was prepared at the school.
