Spinach Balls

This is a great appetizer to take to parties!

  • 2 10 oz packages of frozen chopped spinach; cook and drain (squeeze it).
  • 1 pkg chicken flavored stuffing (do not prepare)
  • 6 eggs (beat)
  • 1 1/2 sticks of butter (softened)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Mix together and make balls; put on cookie sheet. Then, put in freezer for a little while.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Balsamic Roasted Chicken

Another whole chicken recipe that we love!

  • whole chicken
  • onion
  • a few garlic cloves
  • balsamic vinegar
  • olive oil
  • thyme or rosemary
  • Cut up onion and put on bottom of baking dish. Place whole, cleaned, and gutted chicken on top. Put a few garlic cloves around the chicken. Mix in bowl balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and rosemary to taste (I usually use about a half cup of oil and 1/4 cup vinegar). Place a few extra sprigs of rosemary inside the bird. Pour mixture over it. Bake at 350 for 90 minutes. Chicken should be crispy and golden when done.

Slow Cooker Chicken

Here is a great Crockpot recipe. We love it around here.

  • Whole chicken
  • 1/2 cup of broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 t Worchestshire(sp?) sauce
  • 2 t balsamic vinegar
  • 2 t lemon juice
  • 1 t sesame oil
  • 2 T minced garlic (I don't use the garlic...too strong!)
  • Empty inner cavity of chicken
  • Pat chicken dry with towel and place in the slow cooker
  • Mix ingredients together and pour over chicken.
  • I cook on high for 4 hrs. Tastes great over rice.
