Mum's Vanilla Fudge


I was approached by one of the guys at work.

He was really looking for someone that could make him some vanilla fudge.






I was able to fix his sweet tooth.


Ingredients

3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt


Stuff you will need

Heavy sauce pan
Heavy spoon that can withstand heat
Crisco
9 x 5 inch baking pan
or 8 x 8 silicon pan (I've got one from Canadian Tire)


Directions

Grease a 9 x 5 inch pan.

In a 3 quart saucepan, using very low heat, mix together confectioners sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, and salt until mixture is creamy.

I tried using a wire whisk.  Oh my.  Learn from my fail.  The wire whisk got all plugged up.

Pour into a greased 9 x 5 inch pan. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into squares. 

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Chicken Meatballs

Image result for chicken meatballs

A few weeks ago, Tonya had gone to the store and she seen these "tubes" of what she thought was ground beef.  Only this time, there was 4 tubes for $10.00.

What a deal!  So she bought one package, thinking it's ground beef.  She took two of the tubes out and examined them.  Oh my...  ground chicken.

So I found this recipe.  Obviously not quite the same as ground beef meatballs, but still, quite delicious none the less!

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons olive oil (makes meatballs more moist)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
additional seasonings optional!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

Makes about 30 meatballs. Place on baking sheet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.
