Shannon's Peanut Butter Balls

You need: 5& 1/4 C of powdered sugar, 2 sticks of margarine, 2 cups of creamy peanut butter, 12 oz of milk chocolate pieces, 1/4 square of paraffin wax.


Melt the butter and mix with sugar and peanut butter


Mix and then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.


First you melt the paraffin wax over low heat and then add the chocolate and melt mixing together (this is my make shift double boiler)


Make 1 inch peanut butter balls and dip in chocolate using a tooth pick. Set on wax paper to cool.

Thanks for the recipe Shannon! These were great!

Wedding Punch

I call this wedding punch, because it is the one my mom made for my wedding. I made it for a friend's baby shower last month.


Mix 5C of water with 2 C of sugar stirring the water until the sugar melts


Puree a carton of strawberries in a food processor


Mash 3 large ripe bananas


Add a carton of concentrated orange juice to the water mixture


Add in one large can of pineapple juice


Add in the strawberries and bananas


Mix together


I'm sure there is some other way to do this, but pour the punch into plastic cups and place in the freezer. Before you serve take out and defrost under hot water. Put in punch bowl and mash frozen punch into sprite. Makes 28 cups with this recipe + 2 liters of sprite. It is so good!


Here we are at the shower and the punch.

You will need 2 C of milk, 8 eggs, 6-8 slices of bread, cheese, and sausage or ham.

Together in a bowl wisk 8 eggs and 2 cups of milk until completed mixed together


Layer the cooked sausage on top of the bread, and cover with grated cheese


Cover with the egg and milk mixture.
Cook at 325 for 45 minutes. You can also make this the night before and refrigerate until the morning.
