Peanut Butter Balls By: Lindsey

Ok...so I am not sure if we already posted this recipe on here. And I should just look under "sweet treats" label...but instead I am going to just post it. Simply because if we did already post it once we need to refresh your memory because these are SO wonderful during the holidays. They are really yummy and a great treat to make to give to neighbors, kids teachers, friends, etc. This recipe makes a lot of peanut butter balls. And, a little tidbit. If you(like me) need to make a certain amount but this recipe makes more than enough you can freeze the leftover balls(but don't dip them in chocolate) and bring them back out when you need to bring a good dessert somewhere else. Just dip them in chocolate after they have thawed a bit. Merry Christmas Everyone!!


-2 sticks of soft margarine
-1 lb. of peanut butter
-2 lbs. of confectioners sugar
-3 tsp. of vanilla
-1 block of milk chocolate almond bark OR 12 oz of semi sweet choc. chips

Mix all the ingredients EXCEPT chocolate. Roll into balls(golf ball size). Then put in the freezer until firm. Melt almond bark or 12 oz semi sweet choc. chips and dip PB balls into chocolate. Put on wax paper and let harden.

*If you use semi sweet choc. chips you will want to add paraffin wax while melting it to help it coat the PB balls.*

Lite Frito Bandito by Ashley

I love making Chili this time of year and I don't know about you, but I always have so much leftover. This is a great way to change it up. My boys loved it. Obviously this is the healthier version from the hungry girl blog, which is what I ate, but for the boys I used real cheese. Either way it is good. Ingredients: 1/3 cup low-fat turkey or veggie chili ( I used my normal chili recipe which has extra lean beef in it.) 1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla (or alternative below) 2 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese 1/2 package Fritos Original Corn Chips 100 Calorie Pack (or other alternative below!) Optional: 2 tbsp. diced onion Directions: Place chili in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and heat for 45 - 60 seconds, until hot. Set aside. Lay tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate, and warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Spoon chili down the center of the tortilla. Cover the chili with cheese, and then top with Fritos.

This recipe is an oldie but a goodie. I remember eating it when I was little. Then I had it at a friends house a few years ago and loved it. But, last night was the first time I have ever made it. We had my whole family over to eat it(17 of us) and it seemed like the perfect amount of food. We served it with sausage cheese dip(look under appetizer label for this recipe). It was really good.
