The Worlds BEST Fudge
This is a family favorite!!! I even entered this recipe in to the fair for 4-H when I was in grade school. I, of course, got a blue ribbon!!! Probably because of the bazaar secret ingredient.
This makes a HUGE batch.
Ingredients:
1 lb. Butter or Margarine
1 lb. Velveeta Cheese (yes really)
4 lbs. Powdered Sugar
1 c. Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp. Vanilla
Chopped Nuts (optional)
In a saucepan melt butter and cheese. Sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa. Add melted mixture to the powdered sugar mixture, along with the vanilla and nuts. Mix well and spread evenly into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Cool and then cut into pieces.
This work really well to pour into small gift tins lined with parchment paper - makes an awesome gift!
Enjoy!!

Cowboy Caviar
With the holidays comes entertaining and with that comes food. I know many of you (including myself) are trying to eat healthier. This is a great healthy appetizer that even those not on a diet will enjoy. I think there are many variations out there on this recipe, but here's one we have made and enjoyed. This is great with chips or wrapped up in a tortilla (or just eaten with a spoon! Yum!)
Cowboy Caviar
Cowboy Caviar
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tomatoes (or more) diced
1-2 avacados diced (depending on your preference)
2 bell peppers diced (I used red and orange)
1/2 onion diced
Sauce-
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 TBS jalepeno jelly or fresh jalepeno
The juice of 1 lime
Cilantro to taste (I used a lot)
salt and pepper to taste
Combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Toss sauce with the other ingredients and enjoy! (I might have addded cumin and a couple of other things...I am not very good at sticking to a recipe! LOL)

Easy Gift Idea
I know this isn't scrap related but I also know that many people are trying to finish up last minute holiday gifts so I thought I would share this great deal with you! Amazon has a full year of the Oprah magazine on sale for just $5.00. You can not bet that price! Just go here to see the details. I got one for myself and one for my mom :) Enjoy!

Easy flower embellishment
Add a little something to your typical flowers with an easy ribbon or fabric layer. All you need is a strip of fabric or ribbon and some adhesive (I used phototape).
Gather your supplies-
Put adhesive on the bottom back of the ribbon or fabric-
Gather the fabric or ribbon together using the adhesive to hold it-
Layer your creation on some flowers and add an embellishment in the center. Easy! (I also trimmed a little around the edge of my fabric after scrunching it up to make the edges a little more wavy.)
