What could be better than loaded mashed potatoes? Loaded mashed potato balls of course! They are dippable and pop right in your mouth. Just try to stop eating these little balls of joy. They have so much flavor that my mouth is watering just thinking of them. You bite into them while they are hot and get a burst of cheese and bacon flavor. The cheese strings from each bite! Isn’t this just the side or appetizer that everyone dreams of?

I put out a ranch dipping sauce for the family, it seemed like the obvious choice. They could also be dipped in sour cream, and maybe add some seasonings in there. Honestly, dipping is fun but these stand on their own. They are packed with flavor and ready to go. They also store well and you can just pop them back in the oven to crisp them up, though my son heated his in the microwave and said they were just fine.

Quick Tip: You can use any type of cheese you prefer, mozzarella is good too!

I love pumpkin flavored everything and I’m always sad when the season ends, and it’s Christmas time and flavors change. I love pumpkin lattes, salted caramel, apple cinnamon and more. I dive right into the fall recipes with fervor and cook, bake, boil and fry away happily as the leaves begin to change color and drift outside my window. It’s simply lovely!

You don’t have to swim upstream to get a good salmon meal, nor do you have to be smarter than the average bear. This spectacular recipe is so simple and flavorful you’ll feel like you’re eating at a 5-star restaurant. I actually made this recipe for family that was in town visiting. My sister is a big fan of salmon and when I asked her what seafood meal she wanted, of course she said anything with salmon.

I always thought tabbouleh looked gross when my mom ate it. But she’d sit there and rave over how delicious it was. I remember thinking, “Nah, I’ll just go get a cheeseburger.” As I grew older and began to appreciate more mature tastes I became curious about the dish. I finally decided I was going to try it, but there was no way I’d buy it already made. I was making it fresh to get the full flavor and make a decision on whether or not I liked it.

When I was first introduced to sushi, I was skeptical. I was not a fan of fish, let alone raw fish. I started out with a California Roll as it seemed safe and had all ingredients I liked. I could do crab because I knew it was cooked! Much more acceptable. This salad has all the ingredients of a sushi roll – all the flavors you’d expect! It’s just thrown over a bed of lettuce. It’s extremely satisfying and delicious and requires no rolling, so that’s a bonus!

I have the best memories of going to the seafood restaurant Red Lobster. It was my family’s go-to place for large get togethers, especially for anniversaries. The crab legs, shrimp and of course lobster were my favorites – what a treat. The only other thing I enjoyed on the menu was the cheddar bay biscuits. They are so moist and delicious that they don’t even need to be buttered! How fabulous! I often fill up on them alone, so I need to force myself to eat a side salad so I don’t overdo it!

This happens to me often, and I am sure it does to you too. You find a recipe for something that you get in the freezer section or at a local restaurant and you realize it’s much easier and healthier than you imagined. Then you’re able to whip them up with no guilt, and let them nosh on them as often as they desire. Mine like em’ while they play Minecraft, watch Disney movies and do homework. My husband will eat them nonstop til they’re gone… which probably isn’t the best choice but when they’re homemade at least I know what’s inside them.
