13 mini-marshmallows equal 1 regular marshmallow.Some families play chess or practice the piano or build intricate models together but not my family. Nope. Not us. We spend our precious time together otherwise engaged:
Here then is an excerpt from the Berdusco family life:
Cathy reading a recipe* which calls for 10 regular marshmallows. She only has a half bag of mini-marshmallows. She wonders aloud how many mini-marshmallows make up one regular marshmallow. Everyone weighs in with their guess. Cathy is unsure and googles the information. Corey is closest with his guess of 12 marshmallows. Cathy now wonders if she actually has enough marshmallows (10x13=130) to complete the recipe. She asks everyone how many marshmallows they think remain in the bag. A record keeper is appointed and guesses are recorded:
COREY : 150 (after he ate 6)
RACHEL: 315
KATHERINE: 200
TOBAN: 300 (before he stepped on three)
CATHY: 210
The marshmallows are carefully counted out. The total is exactly 400. Rachel wins!
The recipe is completed and another family activity comes to a conclusion.

*CHEWY PEANUT BARS -- NO BAKE
A VERY easy recipe. Somewhat reminiscent of an Eat-More bar only much much better. Always a huge hit.
3/4 cup creamed honey (I've also used liquid honey with great results)
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 regular marshmallows (or 130 mini-marshmallows!*)
3 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup finely chopped salted peanuts.
Grease 9 X 13" pan.
Combine honey and peanut butter in saucepan. Heat on low, stirring occasionally, until just boiling. Remove from heat. (I just put them into a large bowl and melt in the microwave).
Add chips and marshmallows. Stir until melted.
Add cereal and peanuts. Grease your hands slightly. Pack, pat, spread - whatever - the mixture into greased pan, pressing firmly and evenly. Chill. Cut into bars. Enjoy.
*8 Regular Marshmallows = 1 cup
16 oz bag Miniature = 8 cups
10.5 oz bag Miniature = 5-1/2 cups
50 Miniature Marshmallows = 1/2 cup Miniature Marshmallows
5 Regular Marshmallows = 1/2 cup
64 Regular Marshmallows = 16 oz bag

3/4 cup of chicken broth;2 tbs corn starch; 2 tbs sugar;2 tbs soy sauce;1 tbs white wine vinegar;1/2 tsp ground ginger;2 tsp peanut oil; 2 green onions chopped;2 garlic cloves chopped;1/2 tsp red pepper flakes;1 lb ckicken breast cut into strips 2 cups cooked rice.

I usually cook the chicken first and pre mix all ingredients into a bowl. After chicken is cooked i add all ingredientsinto wok and let thicken, then serve over rice. If you likeheat you can stepup the amount of ginger and red pepper flakes. This is a quick and easy meal to make. You can also make the sauce and substitute vegetables anduse it in a stir fry...enjoy...
