This was actually really good- I'm not a fan of cumin, but it wasn't super strong. Hey, um, make sure you cook your rice all the way through. I added mine in too late and it was super crunchy!

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars
6 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups pretzel crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Combine the melted butter, peanut butter and pretzel crumbs. Add in the powdered sugar and mix until you can't see the sugar. Layer into an 8x8 dish and put in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. Then, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave. Pour onto the top of the peanut butter pretzel mix and refrigerate for about at least 1 hour.
I doubled up the peanut butter pretzel mixture and I'm glad I did. It was SOOOO good and was a big hit at Bible study. AND it was super easy to make. It was really sweet, but worth it.

Salt & Pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 onion, sliced
2 1/2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, mustard, ketchup, bouillon, Worcestershire, salt & pepper in a large mixing bowl. Preheat a skillet & add the butter until melted.
