No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

Here's a great way to use leftover rice. I always keep frozen vegetables on hand for emergencies.


Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

 INGREDIENTS
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon plus and 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 3 cups cold cooked rice (I used brown)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup mixed frozen vegetables
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
  1. In a nonstick pan, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom becomes firm, then flip it like an omelette and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove from pan and dice into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium heat and fry the onion just until translucent, about 4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and cook until heated through. Probably no more than 5 minutes.
  5. Taste it and add salt if desired. I found the soy sauce salty enough.
Tips: 
  • If you don't have leftover rice, simply cook any rice according to package directions and spread on a cookie sheet. Allow to cool completely.I don't have a wok, but if you do, feel free to use it! I also didn't have any scallions, but I'm sure they would have made a tasty garnish.
