Ham and Cream Cheese Rollups

This recipe for Ham and Cream Cheese Rollups brings together 1/2 lb square shaped deli ham (I use the smoked flavored or honey flavored), 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (to make it faster I use the already softened cream cheese that comes in small tubs), 3 green onions, chopped very fine in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 1 hr to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 40 servings.

Argentine Chimichurri Meatballs

Well a couple of years ago, I got to go to Argentina skiing with a good friend – and what a blast. On thing I did learn, is that if you don’t like beef, potatoes or chimichurri … good luck. It seemed like those 3 ingredients were a part of every meal, but luckily I do like all three. One night, we had this amazing grilled fish and of course potatoes … but the appetizers were these simple miniature meatballs with … of course … chimichurri. Well, I am not sure what their recipe was, but the chef was nice enough to tell me that his secret was to add ground pork and a little of the chimichurri to the meatball. Also, theirs was topped with this great tangy cheese. I never got the name of it, but it is similar to a feta being a drier, crumbly cheese, but the taste of a goat cheese, so I think either one works well. I tend to use Feta. Well, I ended up using a pretty classic meatball recipe and this is my version. I make smaller than normal meatballs and just serve with tooth pics on a big platter with the sauce. They are just Yummy Bite Size appetizers. A great holiday appetizer and easy to make. I bake mine, so even healthier. Make ahead and just reheat. I also buy Badia Chimichurri sauce, right from the grocery store. You can also find it at www.badia.com, but there are many other brands that are available.

Pav bhaji

Pav bhaji is carb heaven. Spiced mashed potatoes and vegetables are scooped into soft bread rolls. They are a cornerstone of street food in Mumbai and made with their own masala spice blend. There’s lots of ingredients here, but they are actually very easy to make.
