It's very difficult to pick only one recipe! But I have chosen one from a Canadian book called "Food That Really Schmecks", a Mennonite cookbook by Edna Staebler. It's a good recipe for a Christmas sweet that you don't have to cook. (And I would recommend any of Edna's 'schmecks' cookbooks to those of you who like tasty food that is simple to prepare, and old-fashioned.)


SNOW BALLS

1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup rice crispies
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Mix well in a bowl and with buttered fingers form into small balls.

ICING

1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
Warm water to make a thin icing
Grated coconut

Blend sugar, butter and water. Roll balls in icing, then in coconut.

YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!! And the best part...you don't have to cook it!!! Seriously, though, the 'Schmecks' cookbooks are awesome and worth checking out! Everything I've made from them tastes GREAT.♥

HAHA. I kinda like and kinda hate cooking. it always depends on my mood. XD

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Same with me. I don't always like cooking and sometimes I cut corners to make it quick. Proper cooking needs time and patience and for me, total relaxation. Plus I have to be in the mood.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

LOL. A lot of these recipes are very fattening, but there are also some that look very healthy!
