Holiday Cooking

by Lori

Overwhelmed with Joy is hosting “Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style” recipe exchange! I am so excited to try out some of the recipes listed on her site. Below is my submission:

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEX MIX
This one I use for gifts, I make up large batches and then fill some pretty containers with a nice Christmas bow. This give you the salty/sweet combination.

3 c. Rice Chex
3 c. Corn Chex
3 c. Cheerios
3 c. pretzels
2 c. peanuts
12 oz. M & M’s
1 lb. white chocolate (I use white bark chocolate)

Melt chocolate. Mix with Chex, Cheerios, pretzels and nuts. Continue to mix and break up until white chocolate is completely dry. Add M & M’s. Enjoy.

Snack

Sausage Balls (a must with my husband around)

3 cups of Bisquick
1 stick Kraft Sharp cheese, grated
1 pound Jimmy Dean sausage

Have grated cheese and sausage at room temperature. Mix all ingredients into a dough with hands (mix well). Roll into small balls.

Bake at 350 until brown.

Cocktail Meatballs

1 bag frozen meatballs
1 bottle chili saurce
1 jar grape jelly

Heat together the chili sauce and grape jelly, stirring until jelly is melted. Add meatballs (either in a large pan on the stove or in a crock pot). Simmer for approximately an hour (unless in a crock pot, then I put on low setting and let it simmer most of the day).

They all look good. My hubbys family are crazy about the chex mix but I have never seen it served with the white chocolate. Might have to try this one.

I was just over at Laurens catching up on my reading and saw where you have been under the knife! Glad to read you are mending and hope soon you will feel able to eat these nice recipes! And others you will read!

These sound great. The Chex Mix would disappear very quickly around here!

Mmmm…can I just come over right now?!? That sounds good. Glad to hear you’re in recovery now. It’s always a bummer to work with a weakened body, but time will help you get stronger each day! Blessings!

All are my favorites!!! I have never made the chex mix one so I have just printed that one off!!! I can’t believe that we are beginning the season of “holidays”….there goes my diet or what I prefer to call my “lifestyle change” :)

Laurel, all 3 of these recipes sound so yummy! I’m especially interested in the White Chocolate Chex Mix one. I may be giving that out as a holiday gift this year. :)

Thanks so much for participating in my Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style recipe exchange. I really do appreciate it!

Mmmmm!

Mwfhrfhumphyt!

That’s … “I love all these recipes!” in “wired-jaw” language…

Please keep the white chocolate chex mix recipe handy and share it again on Oct. 23 when I host a Homemade Gift Idea Exchange … This will be PERFECT!! Do you have any pictures?

Even though I was teasing above, I do hope you’re feeling better!

Jennifer October 3, 2006 at 5:27 pm

Oh–that White Choc. Chex mix is my favorite. Oh, yum. You can add a little Peanut butter into the melted white chocolate, too. I just use white chocolate chips.

erika October 3, 2006 at 9:44 pm

Yum, yum, yum! All this sounds delicious!

Jenna October 5, 2006 at 8:22 pm
