Meatballs

Another hold-over from our Atkins days. Carb-free meatballs, and I love them more than any other meatball recipe I've ever tried. Mairi eats about 4-5 at a time, LOL. Great for meatball sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, whatever. They also freeze wonderfully. I have some in my freezer at all times for something quick and easy and nutrious for Mairi.

Meatballs

2lbs ground meat (we only use gr.turkey)
1/2C diced onion
2t garlic powder
1T parsley
2 eggs slightly beaten
1/2C parmesan cheese
4T water
2T oil
2t salt
1/2t pepper
1/2t nutmeg (optional)
2t italian seasoning
2C stock

fry onions in oil
mix all ingredients BUT stock
let sit 10 min
roll into 2T sized balls
bring stock to boil
reduce heat to medium
put meatballs in stock, cover
simmer 30min, turning every 10min

Chicken Wing Dip

Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.
