Recipe Corner – May 2018

It’s never too early to start collecting quick, easy and delicious Halloween dinner and party appetizer ideas.  The one I found over at High Heels and Grills is perfection.

Now, they’re called Meatball Mummies, but I can’t help thinking of the Invisible Man when I see these.

Once you have the recipe, don’t get too wrapped up in the details. I bet you could even swap meatball flavors, add mozzarella cheese or go gluten-free.
