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.*

Bulldog Brittle

Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

A Littel Tidbit by Ashley

Ok, so this isn't a recipe, but something tells me you will all want to know.  I have been meaning to tell my Mom, Lindsey, and Kimberly but keep forgetting. If someone told me I could only have two things in my make-up bag, it would probably be eyeliner and mascara.  I found a new mascara that I love.  This is coming from someone who's favorite was $27 dollar a tube Lancome mascara.  It is lashblast from Cover Girl.  O magazine rated it #1 best mascara of this year! I love it!! Just thought I would share! 

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
