mmm Peanut Butter

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Thought I would share this recipe with everyone. I needed a quick dish to take somewhere this weekend. I already had a few different peanut butter fudge recipe, but I thought I would test out one I hadn’t made before. You’ll need:

1 (18oz) jar of peanut butter (crunchy if you want more texture)
1 (16oz) jar of vanilla frosting

  1. Empty entire jar of peanut butter into large mixing bowl
  2. Remove foil lid from frosting, poke holes in the lid and place back on frosting
  3. Microwave frosting for 60 seconds or until completely melted and pour into mixing bowl with peanut butter
  4. Using hand-held electric mixer, mix two ingredients quickly, pour while still soft into 9×13 baking sheet with wax paper, parchment paper or lightly greased
  5. Spread evenly and refrigerate for 1 hour. Then serve.

Peanut Butter Fudge

That’s it. Sounds to easy I know, but I tried it and it tastes great! Although I haven’t let it sit outside the fridge for very long, it seems like it would hold its form.

Reporting for dootie

Heheh he said dootie.. Not much going on the past couple of days. As usual for Ohio, the weather went from, ahh it’s finally spring to, ahh I shouldn’t have put my winter jacket away yet. Although I did get to play alot of Call of Duty 4 this weekend, which i haven’t had the chance to do.

Speaking of dootie, we trying to get Kayley potty trained. but hasn’t been going that well. For being a very advanced 2 year old, she doesn’t have sense of urgency about going on the big girl potty.

Tonight for dinner, I made my special Mac’n Cheese. Here it goes, you’ll need:

  • Small Box Macaroni Noodles
  • 32oz Block of your favorite cheese
  • 2 tbps of butter (unsalted)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  1. Preheat oven (bake) to 375 degrees
  2. Boil a small box of macaroni noodles to al dente
  3. While cooking noodles, dice half the block of cheese and place into medium size mixing bowl, with milk, butter and microwave or 3 to 4 minutes
  4. Add dry ingredients to cheese mixture and stir
  5. Place al dente noodles into oven safe container and pore cheese mixture over noodles and stir until the noodles are covered
  6. Cut thin slices from the remaining block of cheese and place on top, save remaining block for grilled cheese sandwiches
  7. Cover the dish and place in oven for 28 to 30 minutes
