Everyone loves to party; it’s all about good food, drink, and getting together with friends. When I saw this Perfect Cocktail Party Meatballs Recipe with cranberry sauce, I had to give it a try. When it comes to parties I put food at the top of my list, and this combination of flavors as an appetizer sounded like it fit the menu pretty good. I prepared the recipe as is. If you need a larger amount, for a bigger guest list, just double or triple the recipe. The recipe does not call for any salt or pepper, and it tastes fine without it, but you can salt and pepper to taste if you choose. So the next time you are getting ready to host your next cocktail party give this recipe a try, your guests will love it. Enjoy

When the Holidays roam around it always occurs to me I don’t have a ham recipe on my cooking blog so I decided to get this done so at least when Thanksgiving and Christmas get here I will have a Ham Recipe on my site. When I saw this Orange Honey Glazed Ham Recipe I wasn’t sure how the orange flavoring would go with the ham. I have had orange chicken and it was very good so I thought I would give this Orange Honey Glazed Ham Recipe a try. It was very good, and the family loved it. I didn’t slice or score the ham; I just went with the brushing instructions and the amount of glaze that was absorbed into the meat was perfect. The next Holiday season give this Orange Honey Glazed Ham Recipe a try. It’s a simple recipe; you and your guests will love it.

This Green Bean Casserole Recipe is a popular recipe during the Holidays, but it is one of my favorites no matter what time of the year it is. It is one of those recipes that no matter how much of it you make there is none left over. This Green Bean Casserole Recipe would also be a great dish for graduation parties or pot luck just increase the recipe for the amount needed. So treat yourself and your family and give this Green Bean Casserole Recipe a try and enjoy.

This Peppered Shrimp Alfredo Recipe took a little time to put together but it was well worth the effort. I thought the recipe looked a little unusual because of some of the ingredients, but it turned out very good. It has a nice rich flavor because of the cream and a little bit of a nip created by the cayenne pepper. For the shrimp I was able to get tail off for this recipe; just use whatever is available. The recipe calls for raw shrimp but I’m sure cooked would work out fine. So if you want seafood on the menu tonight give this Peppered Shrimp Alfredo Recipe a try and enjoy.

This is another simple recipe with a great flavor. I was busy with some chores and needed another set it and forget it type meal so I decided on this one dish Slow Cooker Herbed Chicken with Wild Rice Recipe. Rice and chicken go great together and I like wild rice and the crispy bacon is always a nice touch. The only problem was it smelled so good I could hardly wait till it was done.  I didn’t make any changes to this recipe and it came out great as is. I think if you used boneless chicken thing or a combination skinless chicken pieces it would work out just as good. Put this Slow Cooker Herbed Chicken with Wild Rice Recipe on the menu tonight and enjoy.

Once and awhile the local grocery store here will run ground round on sale and this Simple Ground Round with Mushroom Gravy Recipe is one of my favorites. This recipe is very simple and good tasting, and the gravy is excellent served with mashed potatoes. I am sure this recipe would work out great with any type of lean ground beef. If you in a little bit of a rush and want something simple and good give this Simple Ground Round with Mushroom Gravy Recipe and enjoy.

Nothing seems to be able to replace mashed potatoes for the Holidays. This Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes Recipe is a simple recipe without a lot of ingredients, and you save a little time by not having to peel the potatoes. This Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes Recipe is smooth and creamy and would be great for the upcoming Easter Holiday. Enjoy

In search for a one dish meal and something a little different I decided on this Chili Macaroni Casserole Recipe. This recipe is mildly seasoned which I like, but if you like it hot you can turn up the heat by adding cayenne or red pepper flakes to taste. There are a lot of ingredients, but if you time it out right, it doesn’t take very long. While the burger is cooking you can cook the macaroni and put the cheese sauce together. When you serve this Chili Macaroni Casserole Recipe you can top it with sour cream; it’s a nice added touch. Enjoy

I am 60 years old and I can swear I have had spaghetti at least one time a week since I was born. Call it a comfort food or whatever you like that is just the way it is. The tradition lives on-this week I decided on this Italian Sausage Spaghetti Recipe. I have made this style of spaghetti before except I used bulk Italian instead of links. The original recipe calls for precooking the Italian Sausage links, but I decided to cook them from scratch by simmering them in the spaghetti sauce until they were done, which blended the flavors of the Italian spaghetti sauce, into the Italian sausage. This produced an excellent combination of flavors and was well worth the effort. I also added mushrooms and white wine to the original recipe and I marked these as optional. The next time you have spaghetti give this Italian Sausage Spaghetti Recipe and enjoy.

I wanted to make chicken nuggets, but I wanted to stay away from the oil. When I saw this Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe I thought it looked pretty good and decided to give it a try. This is a very simple recipe without hardly any prep time. Buy the time the oven is preheated they are ready to go in. The propionate flavor in this recipe is the Parmesan cheese.  I served this with homemade fries and a vegetable. If you’re in the mood for chicken nuggets, give this homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe a try and enjoy.
