Not sure if I've posted this here but this is an old school classic that my mom has been making since the 60s.
Everyone I share them with love them because they are a unique Christmas treat and while time-consuming they are incredibly easy to make since there's only like 5 ingredients.
Orange Balls
*I recommend you double this recipe since you can't really find 6oz frozen concentrate these days.
1 lb vanilla wafers mini work.. Basically a whole package
1 stick unsalted butter
1 6oz can frozen orange juice
1 lb confectionary sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Put wafers into 1 gallon freezer bag and smash with a rolling pin until it turns to dust.
Cream butter orange juice and sugar together in large bowl
Add remaining ingredients and mash together. Smaller balls work better, drop into bowl of powdered sugar.
Before rolling into balls, put "dough" in fridge a couple hours to make them harder and the powdered sugar won't absorb into them and disappear after rolling in it. It also won't stick to your hands.
I found filling the sugar bowl up with 20-30 balls then shaking it around and freezing 3-4 out at a time with your hand like a cage allows you to shake the excess off while leaving perfect snowballs.
Serve chilled from fridge.. If they get too warm the butter will absorb the powdered sugar coating.
1 1/2 hours into the rolling process...

Shakshuka
4 T olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
14 oz can of fire roasted chopped tomatoes
5 Roma’s, rough chopped
1 heirloom tomato, rough chopped
2 t paprika
2 t cumin
2 t coriander
4 T harissa
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 eggs
Cilantro to garnish
Method
Using a large black iron skillet, I heated the oil over medium heat. Added the onion and the dry seasonings. Added the garlic as the onions became translucent. Added the harissa.
Added all of the tomato products and cooked down for 35-45 minutes. Using a spoon, I made a little nest in the tomato sauce, placing a raw egg in the nest. Repeated for all the eggs.
Cut the heat up to medium and put a lid on the pan to help the eggs set. I served once the eggs were poached.
Served with a garnish of cilantro and French bread.
Next time, I will put my stick blender to the tomato sauce to purée a little of it. I’ll also add a sprinkle of feta to serve. The harissa is an excellent addition.

Wasn’t really sure what I was doing. Knew what I wanted to make and what to make it with, but just kinda winged it as far as recipe goes. Really pleased by the delicious result.

Sassy's Salad (Used to be in the cookbook, but I can't find it now.)
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c canola
4 T sugar or less (I use Splenda)
2 T white wine vinegar
2 t pepper
1 t salt
5 dashes Tabasco
Shake to dissolve sugar. Keeps in the fridge. I double and triple it all the time.
Good with mixed lettuces like romaine and butter lettuce,spring salad mix or baby spinach, sliced strawberries or mandarin oranges, toasted almonds or pecans or praline pecans, crumbled feta (or goat cheese) and red onions. There’s a brand of pecan pie pecans by Emerald or something like that in a green bag that most stores sell in the nut section that works perfectly with this salad mixture.

Praline Cookies
1 extra large egg white
1 c light brown sugar
2 c whole pecan halves or pieces
½ t salt
1 T flour
1 T vanilla

Drop heaping tablespoons on greased cookie sheet or silpat.
Bake at 275 for 20-30 minutes. Let cool before removing. They will get harder as they cool.
