Asian Turkey Meatballs With Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce from Skinny Taste

My daughter makes these meatballs often for her family and serves them with zucchini noodles. Directions for making the "noodles" are on the web site. I liked but didn't love the meatballs but will try... read more >

Applesauce Cake : page 292

I made this originally for a pot luck as I remember. We are not a dessert family, so it was OK but I haven't repeated it. Ingredients include raisins but I am not a fan of raisins in cakes or cookies. This cake has a Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing that is very good but I could just eat cream cheese icing and be happy. The cake is supposed to serve 16.

Crab Meat Pie : page 34

I usually make this every year during the family beach week. It's a beach type recipe because it is easy and really must be prepared ahead. In the morning of the day I am serving, I blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, horseradish and grated onion and spread in a pie plate. Mix lemon juice and a bottle of chili sauce and spread over this. Then spread a well drained can of crab meat on top. Cover and chill before serving with crackers for Happy Hour. Not sophisticated perhaps but easy on the cook.

Three Chocolate Cake : page 291

Yes, this is another cake mix cake. But what a cake! At least in our family it is known as The Chocolate Cake. Easy. You bet. But very, very delicious. I substitute Kahlua for the 1/2 cup dark rum in the recipe and I think that makes the difference. Ingredients: Devil's Food cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, 1/2 cup espresso coffee, sour cream chocolate chips and the Kahlua. I bake it in a bundt pan for 55 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I have been making this for years and often on demand 3 or 4 times a year.

Vanessa's Cocktail Meatballs : page 32

This recipe is very easy, can be prepared ahead and can be frozen. Great party recipe. The meatballs are the usual mix of ground beef, grated onion, and bread crumbs. Shape into bite size meatballs. The sauce couldn't be easier or more delicious. Combine 1 lb can jellied cranberry sauce, a 12 oz bottle of chili sauce, 2 TBS brown sugar and 1 TBS lemon juice or to taste. After combining sauce mixture and bringing to a simmer, add uncooked meatballs and simmer until meatballs are cooked and sauce is thickened. The recipe says to simmer for 2 1/2 hours which seems a little excessive to me. I made this many years ago and can't remember exactly how long I simmered it. My daughter has made it for several of her parties. Serve in a chafing dish with picks for spearing.
