We have our first Christmas Party of the season this week, and that means I'll be starting my holiday baking. Since my kitchen will be busy this week, I'm sticking with fast, easy go-to meals for our suppers.
Monday - Spaghetti with Meatsauce, Green Salad
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Dinner at church
Thursday - Grilled Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans
Friday - Todd's Faculty Christmas Dinner
Saturday - Leftovers
Sunday - Lunch with friends
This week I'm including my favorite Christmas treat recipe. Peanut Butter Balls have long been a tradition in our family. I package them prettily and give them as gifts every holiday season. My sweet friend Estelle refers to them as "Heaven Balls" and eagerly anticipates her box of treats every year.
Peanut Butter Balls
1 jar crunchy peanut butter
3 sticks butter (salted)
1 t. vanilla
2 lbs. powdered sugar
1 1/2 packages chocolate almond bark (Ghirardelli is best)
Melt peanut butter and butter together in a large bowl in the microwave. Add vanilla. Stir in sugar. Form balls and dip into melted chocolate. Let cool on waxed paper.
Yield: 100 balls
