    Secret Sisters from the 3rd SS Swap ~ This is YOUR cookbook!!!

     I hope you enjoy it as much as I did compiling and putting it together just for YOU!! :O)

     I can't think of a more appropriate way to begin this cookbook than by starting it off with this post shared by Linda (cllw)..........

     "Yesterday I received my SS-reveal from Nadine, and there was a calligrahy poster she sent me by her friend and neighbor, Holly V. M. Monroe. (MANY thanks Nadine!) The poster is just lovely and I am honored to have received it. I wanted to share these Ten Commandments for Friends with you-my new Sisters and friends!"


    Ten Commandments for Friends

     *Though shalt feel free to talk about anything and everything.
     *Thou shalt share laughter, tears...and chocolate.
     *Thou shalt lend an ear, a hand, advice or clothes.
     *Thou shalt accept her as is and help her become all she can be.
     *Thou shalt not take thy friendship for granted.
     *Thou shalt observe a regular girls night out.
     *Thou shalt not forget to honor thy friend's birthday.
     *Thou shalt be there if your friend needs you~even at 3 a.m.
     *Thou shalt thank God and pray for her every day.
     *Thou shalt be friends longer than forever.

                                                ~ Holly Monroe

    Cheese Fondue

    Posted by: purplechef_fl  -  Posted on: 2/13/2007

    purplechef_fl (Patty) says, "I found this in one of the Reiman mag. I make this for a meal and pair it with fresh bread, hot dogs, and veggies. Apples are great with it too!"

    Cheddar Fondue

    1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

     12 slices of tomato
     1/2 lb. Mozzarella cheese, shredded

    Italian Cheese Puffs

    Posted by: jellyjams_PA  -  Posted on: 5/30/2007

    jellyjams_PA (Karen) says, "When I was active in our community’s local Writers Guild, our December meeting was always a Christmas social. Because we met in one of the public library’s meeting rooms, we didn’t have our own place to keep eating utensils, so everyone was required to bring a “finger food.” I took these the first year because they’re easy and one of my favorite finger foods, but I took them every year thereafter by popular demand. They’re best when hot out of the oven, but they’re also good at room temperature, and they reheat well in the microwave."

    Italian Cheese Puffs

     Preheat oven to 400 degrees
     Bring 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup margarine to a boil.
     Stir in 1/2 cup flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture leaves side of pan and forms ball.
     Remove from heat, put in mixer, and beat 2 eggs in thoroughly, until smooth and velvety.
     Mix in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
     Fold in 1/4 cup finely chopped ham – optional (I use baked ham lunch meat)
     Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
     Bake 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

     Let cool before storing (at room temperature) in plastic bag or cookie tin.

     *Mixture will look gloppy and unappetizing at first – keep beating until smooth and velvety.

    Meatball Appetizers

    Posted by: cllw  -  Posted on: 5/17/2007

    cllw (Linda) says, "I am almost embarrassed to post this~but honestly, it is so good and you will really fool your guests into thinking you worked all day. I impressed the unimpressable with these at Christmas~she thought I worked all day and asked for the recipe. YIKES! I smiled and wiped my forehead and told her they are SOOOO hard to make~then gave her the recipe and she didn't believe me! lol-some days you just can't win ;) - YUM"

     Meatball Appetizers
     I hate to make meatballs from scratch~these work well for us as long as they are the all beef...We hate the beef-pork-turkey mix ones! eewww

     One bag of armour all beef meatballs
     1 can of Hunt's garlic and herb spaghetti sauce
     splash about 1/8 cup pinot grigio in the sauce

     Brown the meatballs in olive oil to give them a 'browned' color. Transfer to baking dish.
     Mix sauce and wine and pour over meatballs.
     Bake at 300 for quite awhile (at least an hour or so, but keep checking them)~the sauce will thicken and stick to the balls.
     
    Linda's Notes: As long as the sauce doesn't dry out, you just can't over bake them..for us, the thicker the sauce gets, the better. Serve with warm bread, dipping oil and DaVinci Toscana Chianti!
