Sodium is a part of my life. Not necessarily that I would like to eat everything, but there is something about the praise that taste the best of itself is delicious.
This year, and spend the Christmas holiday arrived, and I did the thing that surprised everyone. And announced that I will do my holiday oven usual, which is not really the bread is much more like making candy. I thought that this would be useful because it may put in a lot of time and effort to improve myself with P90X, and I do not want me to surrender the will to holidays.
My decision and, of course, no support. So my husband decided to comprimise. I have no oven to do my holiday ... But I had to do until Christmas and Holiday cakes, gifts, candy, and peanut butter balls. So, I decided it was time to test my will power and go for it. After all, it was the holidays.
Now, I'm not really sure where the balls of peanut originated from, and I know that there are several different recipes out there that make similar kind of fun, with some of the different components. This is the recipe I've used for years, and part of my family cookbooks.
Not only are these delicious little sweet, but not easy to achieve this is in fact not necessary limited to only these holidays. I have been doing for years, with the exception of this year, and usually creates a surplus of them. After that I did and peanut butter balls set, usually a bag and freeze to remain fresh for longer periods of time.
However, this year, apparently did not do enough. Although usually find these balls of peanut butter in the freezer for me come June of this year did not get to the end of January. Gone are the peanut butter balls. Therefore, you made me think. Maybe I need to do something else. Children love them and, frankly, is not the worst gift you could have a craving for chocolate.
While the amount of calories depends on the type and the type of chocolate you use, (and of course how big your balls) this dessert almost 100 calories per transaction. I can not think of many other things that are worse than that. Unfortunately, you can not eat just one. So I have been warned.
Now let's get to it ...
Leave a large bowl and mix until
Once all mixed, it will be a large bowl of porridge. This is the time to get the others around to help you roll into balls. Be prepared, you will get your hands dirty!

Components
A short list for this recipe, which is good because it means that most of the time you have everything at hand. Or, if you need to run to the store to pick up the ingredients, and you know you will not break the bank.
2 cups peanut butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about half a pack of biscuits)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup margarine
A block of chocolate (dark or normal - whatever you prefer)
In addition to the ingredients, and Laszlo will need a large bowl for mixing ingredients in a bag the size of the gallon ziploc to crush the cookies into crumbs, measuring cups, wax paper so that the chocolate is set, grill and a double (to heat the chocolate).
Focus

Immersion and wetting
I have a special tool for sweets, but dunking a fork will work just as well. Make sure you cover the ball with chocolate. Work quickly. Hot chocolate and may cause balls of peanut butter to soften.
This is how we do ...
This recipe is easy. You can even get the kids involved in the initial stages.
As is the case in all the sodium, make sure you have all the elements and all the tools and ready for delivery. While nothing will happen if they do not because there is really nothing here on time, make your life easier in the kitchen.
The first thing we do is break down the cookie. I put some files in the whole bag at one time and then the delivery of children outside. Like the crumbling up. When you are done, take a rolling pin on top to make sure there is not much left over collapses.
Now measure the ingredients ... Mix peanut butter, crackers, powdered sugar and ghee. Do not try this with a spoon. It will take forever, and your arm gets tired. Even get dirty with it, and dig with both hands. It will be the best consistency and it is much easier for you.
Once everything mixed, to take to the small balls. Do you want to put a piece of waxed paper on cookie sheet and put there. After the ball is thrown, you can go directly to a reduction in chocolate, but I prefer them, and put it in the refrigerator or freezer for about an hour. This will help them to continue together to begin to put it in hot chocoloate.
Now is the time to prepare the chocolate. In the water instead of chicken in a double down the stairs and chocolate in the top drawer. Even if you have a double broiler and you probably already know that! Melt the chocolate.
When ready, place a sheet of waxed paper and start dipping your balls in chocolate. Let's put it on waxed paper until chocolate is good and tight. Then you can put on the decorative plate for everyone to enjoy or can be packaged in a gallon ziploc bag and put it in the refrigerator or freezer. Usually freeze mine, and can be up to 6 months or more.
Yes - It's that easy!
Homemade Pierogi - sometimes the meal comes with a story behind it. Do not miss this great center of the facts and traditions of the family with all the mixed ingredients. And his mouth watering, you do not even dare to give this a try.
Revenge - Lip Smackin "Well - not a recipe ... but for some it may be very good!
Ice cream and peanut butter pie - if you have something to peanut butter, this is the candy you do not want to miss.
Some additional observations
This recipe produces 50 to 60 different balls, depending on how large you make.
This is a great gift for a deal with other goodies such as a nice gift, homemade.
This is very easy ... Even the children of participants.
While it is good to have children involved, and should always be adults who make a decline in chocolate. Chocolate and pan is hot, and can cause burns.
You will get dirty. Do not wear clothes in the best of what they have to this adventure.
Once and dropped balls in the chocolate and let the plan out of the fridge for at least an hour or two. You want to make is good and solid before packing them.
Feel free to change it. While in normally just use chocolate, and this year I was dark chocolate. The results were a surprise, which is probably why we have gone.
This is a sweet enough that having one is definitely a treat for the sweet tooth.
Sarah is not if you do this once and people suddenly being asked to do so again.
These balls peanut butter is addictive. I dare to eat just one!

This recipe seems like a lot at first, but after making this a few times this is a cinch. I make it on special occasions, and it is great when we are having a party too large. Can not be grilled chicken on the grill outside or inside. I also used my George Foreman grill for the preparation of this and that works great too. I use the outdoor grill if I'm having a few guests because you can cook the chicken more at one time. If I'm just making a few meals or if it was raining and I use the grill in enclosed spaces. Snow was falling yesterday so I used the stove top method.
I cook the side dishes in the same almost every time. This is what the parties can order in a restaurant and they make it a complete meal! I also worked out of time so that the completion of each item of the cooking at the same exact time. I will give the recipe this way so it is very easy to follow.
Wash all vegetables and chicken. Asked once what kind of soap, one should be used to wash the chicken, so let me be clear, were not you want to use Dawn dish soap or any other soap on food. The cold water should do the trick!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees collect your ingredients, and lets get this party started!

Prepare the chicken
Chicken breast or chicken Tenderloins
Olive oil
Panko bread crumbs
Salt
Pepper
Provel cheese
I use a hammer to attack meat chicken and laminate it. It also allows me to cook more evenly since the meat flat and thinner, but this step is not necessary. I next roll the chicken in olive oil, then bread crumbs, but this is set up very slightly baked you do not have to worry about paint so perfect.
Put the chicken on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side over medium heat.

White wine sauce
White wine such as Pinot Grigio or CHABLIS
Sliced mushrooms
Prosciutto Ham
1/2 C of butter
1/2 C of lemon juice
1/2 C of white wine
1/8 tsp. Of red pepper flakes.
Mix all ingredients together except pork prosciutto. Bring to a boil low and allow these elements together to cook until the chicken. Toss pork during the last minute of cooking the sauce. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes for flavors to combine reality and mushrooms and to absorb the sauce.
Steamed broccoli
I use a steam basket is a way to prepare vegetables for me. I just trim the florets and steam them until they are bright green, about 8 minutes. If you overcook the broccoli turns ugly, and they are very soft. Home cooks pasta sauce with broccoli in it - and this does not allow the flavor to penetrate the vegetable sauce, but it can turn into a green color in the sauce so I do not do this.
Grilled chicken at a time of your own potatoes is that you should be prepared to come out of the oven and should be broccoli. I melt a little cheese provel on the top of the chicken. You do not want to drown the chicken with the sauce - is a bit tart so you only need a few tablespoons and it is perfect!

Vegetarian PIZZA
Labels: VEGETARIANIf you are a strict vegetarian, or a new plant in particular, or if you have to cook for a vegetarian, you may wonder how to make a good vegetarian pizza.
Make a vegetarian pizza is very simple, and that vegetarians eat cheese. Therefore, you can make a cheese pizza, or even just a natural cheese pizza loaded with all kinds of vegetables.
The challenge for the vegetarian pizza is the fact that vegetarians do not eat cheese. A cheese plant for sale, and, of course, but even before it goes on this road should consider something else.
Original pizza, one in which all the others are pizza originated in Naples in southern Italy and is known as the Pizza Marinara. That the original pizza, for the first time a reality, not cheese.
This seems very strange to most of us who are used to match the stringy cheese pizza dripping. However, in Italy and southern Europe in general, pizza without cheese is very common.
In the Mediterranean region, covering North Africa and the Near East and South East Asia, Europe, and is sometimes used as a descriptive chips pizza dough. Pies, pizza without cheese is amazing too.
In fact, although we think of when we think of pizza in the pizza, making pizza great is the rule. Without the presence of a suitable base, no matter how good the ingredients are, unfortunately, and pizza will be a failure.
Is a real meal with Italian Marinara Pizza 00, and this is good, such as talcum powder, but with a lot of protein and gluten, so it can stretch very thin, but still very strong and an excellent thin crust base.
In addition, real pizza marinara must be baked in wood burning oven super hot, so hot pizza can be cooked in a little bit of every 60 to 90 seconds.
If you do not have a wood oven baked pizza, do not worry. Although you can get a wood fired ovens in the reach of your backyard now, and there is also a pizza oven amazing counter top that does an excellent job. Instead, you can get bread pizza stone also gives superior results.
Marinara Pizza is one true marinara sauce ingredients, oil, garlic, oregano and olive oil.
Again, the ingredients are very important here. It consists sauce tomatoes marinara with authentic San Marzano, oil, garlic, thyme and olive oil must be fresh.
Now if you want to add components to this, you must do so in moderation and good taste. American tradition of pizza rapid accumulation of food ingredients on the pizza is not for this purpose.
You can get a very innovative combinations, especially using such
Oven roasted garlic and red pepper pizza
Garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil and olive quality (with the drill!) And mustard seeds
Tomato pesto pizza
Mushrooms and artichokes seasoned with lemon juice and pepper pizza hearts
White garlic sauce with onions, homemade caramel, and fresh sliced tomatoes, red pepper and a little chopped
Pizza Potato (paper thin sliced potatoes with fresh rosemary, chopped, onion, pepper and ground (optional), and extra virgin olive oil) - Pizza certainly alien to the American ear, but a common favorite in Europe.
Now, if this is not for you, you can go from the traditional fast-food pizza the U.S., and only veganize.
Thus, a vegetarian alternative to cow's milk cheese, cheese, and you can even get a flavor of the meat alternatives pepperoni, salami or ham.
There are even vegetarian frozen pizza taste good too.
Regardless of the path you go, there really is a lot of options for vegetarians who want to eat pizza.
Not only that, but do not have to be a fake vegetarian alternative, but the real pizza, real, original, as it was supposed to be.
Also be sure to Sweet and Sour, Kung Pao Chicken and Orange!
No doubt this is the favorite food of my family. I developed this method of cooking chicken in order to mimic the Pei Wei Honey Chicken and Panda Express Orange Chicken, but without the fat to fry. I love this recipe because it's quick and easy, and because this method of cooking chicken is low in fat, but tastes so good. For cooks like me who sometimes forgot to remove the chicken from the freezer in time, I should mention that you are my honey chicken or frozen chicken parts (I know because I've done many times). Another advantage is that you use the same method to do all kinds of different foods. In fact, I often cook the chicken and then 2-4 different dishes at once. You can also use this method of cooking chicken Orange Chicken, Kung Pao, sweet and bitter! If you do not like chicken, or want some variation in the flesh, you can also use pork. Give instructions for the following variations.
Honey Chicken
1-2 pounds chicken or pork cut into 1 "(frozen or deep frozen, some is OK)
1/4 cup and 1/2 of corn flour (flour is also used, but is not as crisp)
A tea. Garlic, salt
1/2 tea. ground ginger (optional - is a stronger taste of Asia, but my kids do not like)

Photos by step instructions picture.
First Diced chicken on the cutting board.
Second Sprinkle the meat with the cornstarch. Mix until all pieces are covered.
Third Heat the pan and take the chicken (you can add a little oil if you like, but do not really need).
4th Stir and fry until chicken is just done through. This takes about 7 minutes. If you cover the pan, you can go faster, but the chicken is not as crisp. Even if the chicken is frozen, it takes a little longer and not as crisp.
5th As the chicken is done (not usually measured, but only from the container, pour the honey) honey, pour sauce or another. Cook until it begins to bubble.
6th Serve over rice or noodles (see recipe below).
7th You can save for later reheating and still tastes very good, despite the loss of the crispy skin.
Variations:
First Orange Chicken: Cook, as above, but put on Panda Express Orange Chicken Sauce (or other orange chicken sauce) instead of honey.
Second Kung Pao Chicken. Chicken cook as above. When just cooked, place in a bowl. Saute 1 cup onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (I like red and green color). Place chicken on a plate. Place 1/2 cup peanuts or cashews in a frying pan and fry until you get a good flavor. Place the chicken mixture, onion and bell pepper to the pan and mix. Pour the sauce over commercial or Kung Pao with my homemade version (very good!).
Kung Pao sauce
In a small bowl, mix:
1 1/2 TB soy sauce
2 tb Sherry
A tea. Chicken broth
1TB of vinegar (red or rice)
2 tea. Sugar
A tea. Ginger
1 TB cornstarch
Pour the chicken, onion, bell pepper and mix peanut / cashew and cook until thick and champagne.
Third Sweet and Sour. Chicken cook as above. Place in a bowl. Saute 1 cup onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (I like red and green color). Place chicken on a plate. Boil 1 cup fresh pineapple (which is nice, but works well preserved). Add chicken mixture to give back, onion and bell pepper to the pan and mix. Pour into a jar of sweet and sour sauce. Cook until bubbling and serve over rice.
Perfect rice
Of course, if you have a rice cooker, you can do it, but a Chinese friend of mine told me how to cook rice perfectly years ago, and it always works.
2 cups water
1 cup rice
A tea. Salt
Bring some water and salt in a saucepan. When the water boils, put the rice and stir. Reduce heat and the pot. Setting the timer to 18 minutes. When the rice before cooking the chicken should begin right at the same time be carried out - dinner in under 20 minutes!
Simple Noodle
3 cups cooked Chinese noodles or spaghetti
1 tb sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
1-3 cups chopped vegetables such as onions, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, Chinese cabbage, water chestnuts or bamboo shoots (I use what I have in the fridge or the cupboard!)
Mix the sauce: 2 TB soy sauce, chicken broth 2 TB, 2 TB sherry or other wine
Oil in skillet. Add cooked noodles and stir until hot. Place the noodles in a bowl. Add vegetables to the pan (thicker at first) and fry until almost cooked. Place the noodles and then mix and cook until vegetables are just done. Pour the sauce mixture and cook until bubbles. Serve alone or with honey chicken on top.
Why are the muffins are the best!
Cupcakes are best because they have this time of the cake, but you can on a personal level. Never feel like you ate too much with a cupcake, but a piece of cake can sometimes be overwhelming or too difficult.
Muffins, either vanilla, chocolate or any combination of the two are. Cupcakes are good in both directions. If you have to feed a group, make cupcakes that everyone knows how they get their fair share. With a little cake, anyone can make a rose ....
Depending on how you can decorate cakes from casual to go from simple to elaborate, from children's birthday parties, weddings and gala balls.
For starters I have a vanilla cupcake, a dairy and a special cake recipe egg free, including one for chocolate coating.
Cupcakes vs. Muffins - Blogger solve the puzzle
All cakes, all the time: Muffins vs. Cupcakes Redux
The quick and dirty answer to that is that cupcakes have frosting, whereas muffins do not. But in the research, I found an excellent definition of the difference formulas ...
Super-vanilla cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups cake flour, not yeast
1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Start preheating the oven, setting it to 325 degrees.
Get your small cake pans prepared by lining with paper liners.
Implementation of your electric mixer with the paddle. Use this function to combine the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar, mixing at low speed. Then add the butter a few cubes at a time and let it mix until the butter covered with just flour, then stop the mixer.
Well, in a separate container of vanilla extract, milk and eggs, stirring. Turn the mixer back in the middle and slowly pour in wet ingredients. Use a spatula to scrape down sides of bowl as you pour this part in. Do not over beat the batter.
Use a spoon or small cup with a peak measurement to fill muffin tins. Fill each cupcake shirt will increase only two-thirds or cupcakes too far when they burn and bake in the tray.
The cupcakes should be about 17-20 minutes. Half of cooking, rotating the mold in the oven. Muffins test if carried out by driving a stick in the center of the bottom of some of them. They want to see, does not stick the stick "clean" with the dough, it will.
This recipe makes about 30 cupcakes.
When muffins are done, they turn to guns and let sit finish cooling on rack. NOT FROST cake until completely cool. Otherwise, the glaze melts and drips to the right of the cupcake.
Serve small cakes at room temperature. Store in sealed plastic or covered in the refrigerator. Eat within three days for best texture and freshness.

Enjoy XOI (sticky rice), simple steamed rice, soup noodles, lo mein, fried rice, wok dishes, Bao (steamed bread, salad, and countless other dishes.
You can see pork in many, if not all Asian restaurants to win most probably due to the red food coloring customers' attention to. The contrast could not be more harmful than that of M & Ms or candy, but never really know what's happening in the kitchen. So, if you be sure that no dye gets into your roast pork Chinese style will be the best solution would be to prepare his home. Thit Xa Xiu I prefer, since I'm familiar with it.
Here's how to solve Thit Xa Xiu at home. This recipe omits red food dye color, but juicy and tasty Asian-style pork barbecue. I could not with the eyes cathcing store or restaurant bought Thit Xa Xiu compare, but I can guarantee that this is the best.

Classic Chocolate Truffle
Labels: Chocolate
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (or chocolate)
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Chopped nuts, cocoa powder, coconut, sprinkles, etc for coating truffles
Place the chopped chocolate in a large glass bowl. Heat cream and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat just to scalding. Remove from heat as soon as the cream begins to boil, do not boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let stand for one minute to soften chocolate. Add vanilla and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into a casserole dish 9-inch square. Refrigerate for an hour or until chocolate is set, like fudge, but still able Scoop.
In the meantime, prepare your coatings truffles. Toast the nuts and coconut, if desired. Enter the desired ingredients in small bowls, shallow and mount against him. Remove the chocolate filling from the refrigerator. Using a small cookie scoop, chocolate making into balls, flatten against the side of the middle your baking dish. Roll truffles in desired coatings and wax paper on a baking sheet lined. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to two weeks. Makes 20-30 truffles, depending on size.
Some tips and suggestions. . .
I like to use all semi-sweet chocolate, milk or sour but if you prefer, that's fine too. You can even find a combination.
If you have a small cookie scoop, I recommend always before truffles. I made truffles with all kinds of devices to collect, and cookie scoop is the way to go! I think it helps me with a paper towel, rinse and truffles every 5 or so to dry. With a spoon actually reduces the clutter in rolls of truffle with your bare hands (which can still be done if you want perfectly round truffles) are involved. I like the flat bottom, though - they fit perfectly into small paper cups and cute!
If you let your chocolate in the fridge too long and find it difficult to remove, just let it come to room temperature and try again. Also, you have to press any fear Carefully layers in truffles, if you do not seem to hold.
You can dip chocolate truffles, if desired. You probably want to make them smaller than the size of the ball cookies if you go this route. I tend to make a big mess when dipping in chocolate, so I always roll mine in the coatings. It's also fun to choose different sprinkles on various festivals and celebrations reflect.
You can flavor your truffles (mint, orange, raspberry, etc.) by replacing the vanilla with different extracts.
If you saved your truffles in the refrigerator, it will taste better if you bring them to room temperature before eating (if you wait that long).
If I intend to give these have usually double the recipe. Four or five of these homemade truffles in a nice little box makes a thoughtful Valentine's gift and delicious! Happy Valentine's Day!
