I'm always looking for recipes that use basic ingredients. Recipes that call for basic foods will usually be cheaper, and they will help you rotate your food storage. Sometimes they take extra time to prepare, but not always. Here is an example of a recipe that uses basic ingredients that is quick to prepare:
Fast fast fudge
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup butter (one stick, unmelted)
1/4 cup milk (reconstituted powdered milk is fine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sift powdered sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Add butter and milk. Do not stir. Microwave 2 minutes on high. Stir. Add vanilla, stir. Pour into 8" square baking dish. Refrigerate 1 hour before cutting and serving. Serves 16.
Tonight I was asked to bring treats to choir practice just a few hours before it was time to go. I scoured my cookbook for something that I could cook quickly with ingredients I had on hand, and I found this. I whipped them up quickly. They were a hit at choir practice tonight. This is a great recipe to have on hand during the holidays: quick, fancy, and inexpensive.

I keep my powdered sugar in a Tupperware container. How many cups would equal 1 pound?
3 3/4 cups of powdered sugar equals one pound.
