Peanut butter cups

This recipe makes a lot. You can always cut it in half.

 Peanut butter cups

Mini paper liners (used for mini muffins)
1 cup peanut butter, creamy
1/2 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 T. Flour if not thick enough to work with

2 cups chocolate chips
1 t. Oil
1 t. Vanilla

Mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and flour together. Take a small teaspoon or half a teaspoon full, roll it into a ball then slightly flatten and set aside.

In a melt chocolate with oil in microwave or over a double boiler. For microwave, mix after 30 seconds or until melted.

Spray liners with Pam or canola spray or brush with melted butter. Take a teaspoon of melted chocolate and fill the bottom of paper liners. Place the flattened peanut butter filling in the cup, pressing down slightly. This helps to make a more even layer on the bottom. Place more melted chocolate to cover and fill. Refrigerate until hardened. We keep them in the fridge until realdy to eat.

Creamy potato soup

2cups water
1 can chicken broth
3 celery ribs, cut
4 russet potato (peeled, cut)
1/4 c. Sour cream or buttermilk
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Romano cheese
2 Tablespoons butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Dash of allspice
Salt and pepper to taste

Bring water, broth salt, potato, celery to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potato is tender. With a hand blender (or regular blender) puree ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients.

Schnitzel

1/2 of a pork tenderloin (can use boneless, skinless, chicken breasts)
1/4 cup flour
Dash salt and pepper
1egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1cup Panko or bread crumbs
Paprika
Vegetable oil
Lemon for squeezing over the snitzel at the end

Take out 3 bowls. Fill one with flour, salt and pepper. Fill another with milk and egg (whisked together). Fill the last bowl with Panko and a pinch of paprika. I used pork tenderloin because it cooks up moist. I sliced it at a diagonal. I hit the pork with the bottom of a small pan to about 1/8 in thick. First coat with flour, then egg mixture, then the Panko crumb mixture. Preheat oil on medium heat. I fried the pork in oil for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Fry in small batches. Don't forget to squeeze lemon on top.
