Meatball Kabob Appetizers

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Quick Chef | 1 Comments

TweetConsidering how much we love meatball appetizers I can’t believe I don’t have some recipes for making them myself.

Now that I have brought that flaw to my attention I will start working on some different recipes. My…

Tweet Tips for hosting or just bringing incredible dishes We’ve hosted Christmas day at our house for most of the 13 years since we moved into this house.

TweetNothing says the holidays to me more than stuffing or dressing. In all my years it had to be the old fashioned stand by.

Tweet This is a favorite recipe of my daughter’s. I’m not a mint fan but it’s tops on her list when it’s added to cocoa. I can picture people drinking this after a cold day of skiing and playing in the snow. Sitting by a fire and possibly reading a book or chatting about the fun you had. Man I…
