Sausage Balls
from Vivian Garnand
Our favorite food to take to any of our family gatherings at Christmastime
is "Sausage Balls". They are asked for months in advance and our daughter,
who is now married and a Mom, demands them and says they are what make
coming home wonderful for her. It's a simple recipe, but so-o-o-o good.
SAUSAGE BALLS
1 pound sausage (medium is the best)
Grated Cheddar cheese (use however much you want)
Bixquick (enough so mixture will form balls)
Just mix and bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Ayotte Family Porcupine Ball
My favorite thing to take is a porcupine ball. I take a round of bread, anytype, scoop it out, put in dill dip
and put cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, olives and anything else I have on toothpicks and stick them into
the outside of the bread until all is covered.
Perri Storch's Shrimp Dip
My favorite holiday dish to share is a shrimp drip. It is a simple recipe
that is both delicious and pretty to look at. Take one block of cream cheese
and let it warm enough to allow a cracker to slice through. Add a handful of
small shrimp, which has been well rinsed. Pour on top of the shrimp and
cream cheese your favorite cocktail sauce and top off with another sprinkle
of shrimp. Serve with a selection of crackers. Enjoy!
