Peanut truffles

[turlough]

Tried out a recipe for peanut truffles yesterday, Jordnötstryffel med mörk och ljus choklad. It's in Swedish which I don't think many of you can read so with the help of Google Translate I made ( this rough translation... )

Changes/notations: Made it according to the recipe but when I make it again I will use a slightly wider tin (17-18 cm) and maybe use a little less garnish. Or at least make sure all the nuts are properly stuck in the chocolate.

Verdict: Loved it! The mix of dark & light chocolate prevents it from being either too bitter or too sweet and the salt from the peanuts add the perfect zing.

Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet

I made Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet from Budget Bytes.

The recipe was easy to follow. As I couldn't find Anduille sausage I used hot Chorizo sausage instead. I also used frozen peas instead of peppers, putting them in during the last five minutes.

It was delicious though a bit too hot for my liking. Next time I'll use the mild Chorizo instead. It also freezes well and I think it will make some good leftovers.
