White Chocolate Peppermint PopCorn











3 bags microwave Tender white Popcorn, popped
1 6 oz box candy canes, crushed
1 package White Chocolate Almond Bark


After you cook the popcorn, melt white chocolate in microwave. Add the crushed peppermint to white chocolate and start adding to the popcorn with a wooden spoon. The popcorn needs to be in a large bowl or pan so you can evenly distribute the chocolate mint mixture through the popcorn. Spread it out on parchment to harden.

1/8 t Creole seasoning( I used Tony Chachere’s)
A splash of Worcestershire sauce(I use French's)

Sear in hot olive oil until pork has a grilled look, 5 minutes on each side.
Broil under broiler for 10 minutes on each side, no pink left in the chop.
Yum! I made these today for lunch and boy were they good!!!

Rollo Mini Wrap Around Cookies

                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                           


Heb.12:

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." 
27 This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken--that is, things that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 
29 for our God is a consuming fire.





Nestlé sugar cookie dough(flat pack not roll)
Rollo mini candies (already unwrapped)

Take the square cookie dough and wrap it around the Rollo mini. Roll into a ball. Bake 14 minutes at 325 degrees on parchment. Let cool. Yummy!!!

Do not let the simplicity of this recipe fool you, they have a gourmet taste without the trouble!!
