Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

January 5, 2015
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Two weeks ago, we made these buffalo chicken meatballs in the oven. Took them out, and loaded them up on a sub. I think I added too much sauce to my sub because my mouth was on fire. They were amazing. This past weekend, we made these buffalo chicken meatballs again, except this time, we made them in the crock pot. While both were delicious, we prefer to bake these in the oven.…

Mini Steak and Cheese

Mini Steak and Cheese

For our family parties, our food theme was “mini.” Last week Fatima made a delicious steak and cheese sandwich. It was my first steak and cheese – ever. When we were thinking of an appetizer menu for Christmas, we needed to think of something to fit into our “mini” theme. So I thought, “why not little steak and cheeses?” These were a hit and were gobbled up in minutes. What’s…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

Banana Bread

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

What’s fall without pumpkin bread?  Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you?  If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass.  I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall.  When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Turkey Chili

Want to wow your guest with little to no effort? Turkey chili is one of those dishes you can have as a lovely dinner, hearty lunch or amazing appetizer. Pour the chili over rice and have it for dinner. Chili the next day is always the best because it makes a perfect lunch. For my party planners out there, carve out a bread to make a bowl and use the…

Beef Stew

Beef Stew

Growing up, I was one of many children. A stew was my mom’s best friend when it came to making dinner. Let’s face it, what’s easier than throwing things into a pot and letting it do its thing all day?  If you are looking to feed an army (or to have leftovers for a few days) making a stew, in this case beef stew, is perfect.
