admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:33:45 +0000

Congratulations, Jackie S., who was randomly selected as the winner of the Tupperware prize pack (valued at $45) from independent consultant, Kelli Kyle! I have sent Jackie an email and need a reply within 48 hours or an alternate winner will be selected, per contest rules.

If you are interested in buying or selling Tupperware or hosting a party and earning free products, here is more info from Kelli…

There’s a new Tupperware consultant in town! If you are interested in hosting a party, for yourself or someone else, becoming a consultant, or would just like to purchase Tupperware online you can contact Kelli Kyle at the information below. Hosting a party is a lot of fun; the consultant will show you and your friends how to make a meal, snack, or dessert with the Tupperware. The host of the party will receive a lot of free gifts but also the guest of the party will receive at least one or two items free. It is just a fun time to hang out with friends and family. You can host a party for someone else also if you would like to throw a Tupperware shower for a bride-to-be, mom-to-be, or soon-to-be home owner. People would then come to the party to buy Tupperware for that person. If you would like to become a consultant, you can work from home and set your own schedule. You would be able to buy Tupperware at 25-35% off also. If you would like to host a party and receive free Tupperware or become a consultant you can contact Kelli by email or phone at the information below to schedule a time and day.

This recipe was submitted by Betty Cain:

Fruitcake Cookies

1 cup melted butter
3 eggs
1 tsp. soda
1/2 cup milk
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
6 slices candied pineapple (chopped)
1 cup red candied cherries (chopped)
1 cup green candied cherries (chopped)
15 oz package white raisins
2 cups chopped dates
7 cups chopped pecans

Combine butter and sugar, mixing well. Add eggs and beat well.
Combine dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture
alternately with milk mixing well after each addition.
Stir in fruit and nuts, mixing well.
Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto well-greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 300 for about 15 minutes.
This makes a lot of cookies—enough for gift giving and eating.
Empty coffee cans with plastic lids can be decorated with wrapping
paper and bow on top for gift giving. Just fill them with the
cookies.

And last, but not least, thanks for this favorite holiday recipe submitted by Pansy Shehee:

Thanks to Ruthie Crockett for emailing these holiday recipes:

Christmas Wreath

Ingredients:

20 large marshmallows

¾ stick butter or margarine

1 tsp green food coloring (or more if you want it darker)

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups Frosted Corn Flakes

Several cinnamon “red hot” candies

Melt marshmallows, butter, food coloring and vanilla. Add frosted flakes. Stir until flakes are green and place around a congealed salad bowl or other container to form a wreath shape. After shaping, remove bowl and add red candies on wreath to look like berries. Serve on plate by itself, or put jello, candies, cakes or other treats in the middle.

Yes, it’s similar to rice krispie treats – but now you’ve got some holiday flair!

Snow Ball Cookies

Mix:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup rice krispies

1 cup confectioner sugar

2 tablespoons melted butter

Mix all the above ingredients, roll into ball shape, then roll in confectioner sugar icing and coconut. (To make sugar icing, simply add water and make a little thinner than paste).

F&F Readers Favorite Holiday Recipes I

admin — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:23:27 +0000

This recipe was submitted by Linda Lundy and Carolyn Franke. I’ve had something similar and it was awesome! I think the recipe I saw called for Sprite instead of Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew Apple Cobbler

Granny Smith apples-2 (peeled, cored and cut into 8 sections each)

Crescent rolls-2 cans (1 can does 1 apple)

Real butter- 1 stick (not margarine or substitute)

Sugar-2 cups (can use less)

Mountain Dew- 1 1/2 cups

Wrap each one-eighth section in Crescent roll. Place in lightly greased 9×13 baking dish.

Melt butter and mix with sugar. Spread over apples. Pour Mountain Dew over apples. DO NOT STIR.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped pecans.

Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes.

Can serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

I’m going on a tangent that’s not necessarily a topic that’s Fun and Frugal, but something most of us enjoy this time of year…yummy holiday food! If you have a favorite holiday recipe (finger foods, desserts, anything), please email it to me at fun [dot] frugal [at] gmail [dot] com (brackets & spaces removed) and I’ll select a few to highlight from now until Christmas. If you can send a picture, too, that would be great! Click on the links below for the recipes.

My friend Ashley Smith posted one of her favorite holiday recipes on her blog for Fresh Apple Cake.

This is my favorite holiday punch. If you like egg nog, you’ll love it. I got this recipe from my friend Christy Washington, who got it from Southern Living and it’s called Cupid’s Creamy Peppermint Punch. I substitute ginger ale for the club soda and omit the crushed peppermint candies.
