Chicken Wing Dip

1 rotisserie chicken- I think this is the easiest or you can use chicken breast and cook and shred
1 stick cream cheese
1 bottle of Chunky blue Cheese dressing
1 bottle chicken wing sauce
mozzarella cheese

- Spread cream cheese in 9x9 pan
- Add shredded chicken, blue cheese dressing (eyeball how much you want), chicken wing sauce (eyeball), Moz. cheese (eyeball)
- Cook 350 for about 20 minutes or until cheese has melted

This is ALWAYS a hit!!

Meatballs

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

1. Combine beef in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
2. Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold it's shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.

I mix flour,baking powder, and baking soda ahead of time
beat shortening, sugar, eggs, beat til creamy, then alternate flour mixture with milk. I add lemon and vanilla mid way through the mixing.
