Todays cooking wrap up! What to make for Christmas?

What I've learned today.....


1. When making rollo pretzel treats they say use half a pecan for a reason. You have to push the melted chocolate down and pieces while more pleasing to eat will cause you to have to daintily sprinkle and burn your finger when you go to push. Also, Reeses cup minitures don't work. Peanut Butter does not melt at the same rate as chocolate and doesn't "push down".


Lesson #2 This salad is much better COLD and watch how much lemon you get in it. I used bottled lemon juice instead of an actual lemon and it was too strong.

Lesson #3 don't buy cheap canned chicken. Avacado doesn't have a strong taste to mask the cheapness like relish and egg in a standard chicken salad does. Needed alot more avacado also, again watch the lime juice portions. Needs alot of pepper also.

Lesson #4- Yummy Yummy Yummy and lo cal (I hope!). Had this recipe before from someone and lost it. I used a lot of Cilantro and black Pepper (more than asked for), and cheated and used rotel. Made quit a bit really does fill a Quart mason Jar+.
