Hi gals..a few recipes to share with you!

My gracious the days have been zippping by on me again..waaah!

I am trying to get a few things cleared out again..Why is it that things like desks, and kitchen drawers and pantries can get messy so quickly?

Gee whiz..

Anyhow..I got my desk cleaned out. Yikes..what a mess. I had tucked catalogs for this, and papers for that in the drawers..and gracious..I wound up with half a garbage bag full of paper.

Too bad we didn't have a fire in the fireplace tonight..I could have really had a good bonfire going..ha.

Next up will be cleaning up and organizing the pantry and kitchen cupboards and tackling some cleaning that has been waiting on me. Wanna come help?..ha

I've been working on a few wee Christmas items here and there also.Wish I could show you..but..the recipients of said gifts do happen to frequent my blog from time to time..and I can't go spoiling their suprises now can I?

-------------------

Wanted to share with you all a couple of recipes that can be used for gift items if you'd like.

--------------------

Peanut Butter Fudge

-------------------------

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1 2/3 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

1 (10 oz.) pkg. peanut butter chips

1/2 cup chopped peanuts

1 tsp. vanilla extract

---------------

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a boil.

Cook over medium heat. Make sure to stir constantly. Cook for 5 minutes.Remove from heat.

Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir until smooth textured.

Pour into a greased 9 inch square pan.Cool completely.

Cut into squares. When cooled and cut into squares you can wrap with saran wrap.

Tie a small bow around each little wrapped fudge square to make it look like a mini "package".

Next up is a bath product recipe:

Peppermint Bath Salts

-------------

1 cup fine sea salt

2 cup epsom salts

6-8 drops peppermint essential oil

a few drops of red food coloring

Mix all together in a large mixing bowl.

----------------

Put into small jars and make a pretty decorative tag to accompany.

You can substitute other scents of essential oils. For example:

try an orange scented oil and a few drops of red/yellow food color to create an "Orangesicle Delight" bath salts.

Try Eucalyptus oil, or create a lavender scented bath salt by using lavender oil.

Have Fun!
