Top with cheddar cheese as well.

Pad Thai from A Taste of Thai.  Had to do this one twice as I used double the noodles on the first try. Second go around was alot better. Used chicken instead of shrimp and had some spicy asian pepper sauce on the side to give it the extra kick. very good and I hope to make more recipes from that site soon.

Sidenote……I really have to start using my categories.

Ingredients
1/2  cup peanut butter
3  tablespoons butter, softened
1  cup sifted powdered sugar
8  ounces chocolate-flavored candy coating


Directions
1. In a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper. Let stand until dry (about 20 minutes).
2. Chop candy coating. Place in a heavy saucepan, cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Dip balls, one at a time, into coating. Let excess coating drip off peanut butter balls. Place on waxed paper; let stand until coating is firm. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Makes about 30 pieces.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Pecan Sandies
Buckeyes (chocolate covered peanut butter balls)
Macaroons
Chocolate covered pretzels
Pralines (like ya get in Charleston!)
Chocolate Covered Ritz Peanut Butter Sandwiches (Wife Specialty)
Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats

And to top it off, for dinner tonight I made Chicken Parmigian.  So yeah, I excercised my bakers muscles this weekend and hopefully I can push alot of it off on my coworkers.  So unless you got a Turducken up your sleeve, I’ll take the pot!

Just kidding, hope everyone else is enjoying the CHRISTMAS season as much as we are.
