Fae NC was asking about cooking instructions for Jan P's Fudge. I am not the person that submitted the recipe, but I did make it and had perfect results. Every microwave is different, depending on the wattage, so when I made it, I melted the chips and butter on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds and then stirred it. I continued to heat it on high for 1 more additional minute, and they were completely melted, so then I added the remaining ingredients, except I didn't put the nuts in, and poured it in the pan and chilled well before cutting. You do NOT cook it after adding the rest of the ingredients, but it sets up well. Is very smooth and delicious!
Hope this helps?

These are an excellent appetizer (made quickly using the frozen meatballs) to take to the office holiday party, etc. I have also made these for wedding receptions and they always go over so well.

BBQ Crock Pot Meatballs

1 bag frozen pre-cooked plain, or Italian, thawed
1 bottle BBQ sauce
1 bottle sweet and sour sauce

Put thawed meatballs into Crock Pot. Mix equal parts of your favorite BBQ sauce and sweet and sour sauce and pour over meatballs. Cook on low heat for 6 hours.

Cookie Mixes from Prepared Pantry
Christmas Gift Ideas for the Baker

In the 12/10 newsletter Trudy Slidell asked about dipping cold items in melted chocolate. She was concerned about the cold items causing the chocolate to seize up. I have never had this problem and I have made thousands of dipped items over the years, especially when are son was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. I prefer melting chocolate or almond bark in a double boiler, but have also used the microwave with success. Typically you chill the items in the refrigerator for a period of time, just so they are easier to work with when you are dipping them. Of course anything made with cream cheese or similar ingredients have to be refrigerated to prevent them from spoiling. If you would feel better about trying to dip items in the chocolate for the first time, you can let the items you are dipping set at room temperature for 10 - 15 minutes before you start. Good Luck and have fun with your candy making.

I first had these in Atlanta while living there. Loved them, had to have the recipe.

Pecan Pie Cookies

Cookies:
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Filling:
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°F.

For cookies: Beat butter and sugar on medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and mix. Reduce speed to low and add flour and baking powder. Beat until well mixed.

Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Make an indentation in each cookie with your thumb; rotate thumb to hollow out slightly.

Combine all the filling ingredients (pecans through vanilla) in a small bowl. Fill each cookie with 1 rounded teaspoon of filling.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute on baking sheet then remove to cool completely on a wire rack or sheet of aluminum foil.

A friend recently shared this recipe with me. I have no idea, if Elvis ever ate this fudge. We assume it is named after him, since he had a fondness for peanut butter and bananas.
Robbie IN

Elvis Fudge

1 10 ounce bag peanut butter chips
1 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk - not evaporated milk
4 Tablespoons butter or margarine (1/4 cup)
1/2 Cups chopped peanuts
1 10 ounce bag white chocolate chips
1 very ripe medium size banana

Prepare a 9x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the peanut butter chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add the cup of condensed milk and two tablespoons of butter. Microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.

Stir until the peanut butter chips are melted and smooth. Quickly add the chopped peanuts and stir until they are combined, then pour the peanut butter fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.

Place the soft banana in a blender or food processor and blend until it is completely smooth and liquidy.

Place the white chocolate chips, banana puree, and two tablespoons of butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. White chocolate can burn quickly, so watch carefully during this step!

Once the white chocolate is melted, stir it until the mixture is smooth. It may seem broken at first, but keep stirring until it comes together. Pour it on top of the peanut butter fudge layer and refrigerate until the fudge is completely set, at least four hours or overnight.

To serve, cut into small 1-inch squares. Elvis fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

When we lived in Germany we'd go out to eat on our paydays and try the different German food. My favorite was Jagerschnitzel. Then when we got transferred to New Jersey, it just so happened that my neighbor had cooked in a German restaurant. The sauce was available here in the U.S. for a while, but now you must order it and have it sent from German.....well I sort of revised the sauce (very simple). Everyone that comes over and has had it always asks me to make it again.

Jager Schnitzel

boneless pork chops - thin cut
Ritz cracker crumbs (must be Ritz)
evaporated milk
1 egg
flour
Butter or margarine

With a meat hammer pound your pork chops out on both sides. Then dip the chops on both sides first in flour, then in an mix of the egg and evaporated milk and finally coat both sides in the Ritz cracker crumbs.
On a preheated griddle that you have place butter/margarine put the schnitzel on and brown on both sides.

Sauce for schnitzel: I use the prepackaged mushroom gravy packets. Make according to directions and add 1 can of mushrooms to it. Serve the sauce over the cooked schnitzel. In Germany the schnitzel is served with French fries which also have the gravy on them. Enjoy!!
