Get ready... get set... DON'T STRESS!

Christmas is almost upon us.

Are you overwhelmed by all you have to do?

Are you wondering how you are going to get it all done?

Are you stressed about how you are going to be able to afford to buy the food and

specialty items you want and need?

***

Please don't worry about such things... and let me help you.

But first... remember this...

No one ever died because the table wasn't just so, or someone forgot to make a certain dish.

Breathe.

It's gonna be okay...

***

Oh! Just had an earthquake! A little one... but I felt it... Oh.. there are the kids yelling to let me know we had one...

***

Okay where was I...

Oh yes...

let me help you.

***

Are you the baker?

Get those pie doughs made and FREEZE THEM NOW! Yes, they are freezable,

and turn out lovely!

***

Are you responsible for side dishes?

Stock up on frozen veggies and create your own medley when the time comes to cook!

I microwave my frozen veggies in my Rice Cooker Plus for about 8 minutes

Drain the water that accumlates, and add a little butter and my favorite

Seasoning... All Purpose Dill Mix. Yum! and SO EASY AND QUICK!

Need to bring or make something sweet?

here is the Pampered Chefs Recipe for

2 step Fudge.

**

1 can chocolate frosting

1 12 oz. bag chocolate chips.

Melt the chips on low heat in a non stick pan... take off the heat when they are all melted.

Stir in the frosting...

I SWEAR YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL YOU DIDN'T SLAVE OVER THE THAT FUDGE! I PROMISE!

Love nuts in your fudge?

Stir them in with the frosting!

Spread it all out on a baking sheet or casserole pan (8x8)

Put it in the fridge to set and cut the pieces in the size and shape you want.

***

You can make peanut butter flavored fudge by stirring and melting 1/2 cup peanut butter

into the chocolate chips!

Try different flavors and colors!

White chocolate chips and white frosting!

Pink Frosting and White Chips

or swirl them!

TOO EASY AND DELICIOUS!!!
