3 sticks butter
2 1/2 c. peanut butter
2 tsp almond (plus an extra splash)
2 lbs powdered sugar
24 oz chocolate
1/2 stick parafin

Combine butter, peanut butter, almond, and powdered sugar. Mold into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter, lay onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper. Put cookie sheets into fridge so the balls can harden, probably 1 hour. Melt chocolate and parafin in a double boiler (you can just put a large bowl on top of a pot with boiling water, but the last time I did that I burned the hell out of my hand). Spear each peanut butter ball with a toothpick, dip in chocolate, and put back on wax paper. Take toothpick out, cover up hole. Put back in fridge to let chocolate set. These should be kept in the fridge (not on the counter), and you can also freeze them.

But see, the problem is that they're really only RIGHT when Shannon makes them, just like my aunt and her pumpkin bread on Thanksgiving. (I'm hoping that blatant -- and totally genuine -- sucking up will remind you to make sure you save me some... :) )

I will save you some, since it makes about a million. :)
Just a recipe note...I'm leaving the parrafin out this year. It sounds gross, and I'm not sure that it actually does that much.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
