Easy Date Bar Recipes?

Hi Betty. I'm looking for a really good, but not too terribly hard, date bar recipe. Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a great day.

—Susan

Hi Susan,

I've got a wonderful date bar: Chewy Trail Bars are made with dates, oats, almonds and pecans, are a snap to put together, and bake up in just half an hour!

    I need to make a potato bake and have never made one before. I think I can make it with cream, cheese, bacon, and thinly sliced potatoes, but not sure how to assemble or if I cook the potatoes before baking. Please help!

    I tried to make beef stew in slow cooker; it came out too soupy and potatoes still a little hard. How long should it cook? Instruction book gives no clue, no recipe book, nothing as a guide. Thank you. --Connie
