Recipe: Buckeyes
Buckeyes
The Christmas holidays are over but this recipe is good any time of the year. It is a favorite of mine especially being a native of Ohio. Make these for a friend for a sweet Valentine's treat!
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (16 oz. jar)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Up to 2 cups of confectioners' sugar
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
2 tbsp. shortening
In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, butter, and vanilla. Add confectioners' sugar with hands a little at a time to form a smooth, stiff dough. Do not add all at one time or your mixture may be too dry. You may not use all the confectioner's sugar-use your discretion. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on wax paper-lined cookie sheets.
Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips in a double broiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

Recipe: Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Noodles
Homemade soup is always better with homemade noodles! Here is the recipe my sister gave me she has used for years.
Homemade Egg Noodles
1 cup of flour
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
Stir together ingredients and roll out on a flat surface with LOTS of flour. The dough will be very sticky! Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into thin noodles. Drop into soup on a low rolling boil for about 15 minutes until they are done.
