The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Bring on the big game!

I learned at a very young age to love football season, college or pro, I don't care.  The bowl games and Superbowl were always a time for good food and great friends.  Well, since having kids, it's now a time to have little bites and send the kids off to bed.  So, in honor of my 'little ones', I tried the 'little bites'!

From 'I'll Diet Tomorrow' (love the title of this book!)

Sausage Balls

1 lb sausage (hot preferred)
3 C Bisquick
10oz shredded cheddar cheese

Mix all together using your hands (great to have little hands to help!) and form into small balls.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 20 minutes.

Family Rating: Not bad, but a little dry.
Stomach Rating: Safe if you don't use hot sausage
Time Factor: Can be made in less than 10 minutes

The recipe appears to be missing a binder for all the ingredients.  I added 2 T of water and one egg slightly beaten.  This may have dried out the final product.  A suggestion that these would be good from the freezer as a weekday breakfast on the run.

I'll file this one away for future use, with some more tweaking of course!
