Meat Candy
My father-in-law shared this recipe with me, and our family loves it! Perfect for any casual gathering (say, Super Bowl® Sunday), these bite-sized meaty treats will disappear before anything else on the buffet!
Pizza Buns
The elementary school I attended back in the 1950s used to make these, and were a favorite of most everyone. My wife and I spent a lot of time trying to recreate these when we were first married. Our kids (now in their 30s) still request these when they come to visit. We use canned pizza sauce but spice it up. Leftovers are easily reheated in the toaster oven.
Loaded Boursin Mashed Potatoes
These loaded boursin mashed potatoes dress up any dinner without much extra effort. Leaving the skins on gives the dish a bit of a rustic look, and it's much less work than peeling potatoes. This garlic-fresh herb flavor is a clever and savory way to style up classic, creamy mashed potatoes.
