CREAM CHEESE SAUSAGE BALLS

I got this recipe from a friend who said it is a modified Pinterest recipe.  I am going to make these.  I think the addition of cream cheese sounds good.

CREAM CHEESE SAUSAGE BALLS

1 lb hot sausage, uncooked (or any sausage you prefer)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups Bisquick
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400F.

Mix all ingredients until well combined. (I use my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook attachment) Roll into 1-inch balls. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until brown.

Sausage balls may be frozen uncooked. If baking frozen, add a few minutes to the baking time.

** NOTE - You can use Gluten Free Bisquick for those that are Celiac or eating Gluten Free!

BUTTER BOILED CORN ON THE COB

Tis the season for fresh corn on the cob.  And the internet is buzzing with ways to prepare said corn.  This is one I saw this morning that I have never heard of.  It was posted by one of my friends who had gotten it elsewhere so I have no idea who to credit.  There were several comments to the post from people who had tried it.  Most were saying it was wonderful.  One lady from Iowa said she couldn't tell any difference. Several said it requires no butter when served.  Here it is if you want to try it.

Fill pot with water then add a stick of salted butter and 1 cup of milk. Bring to a rapid boil. Put ears of corn in turn heat to low simmer for 5-8 minutes ! It will be the best corn on the cob you have ever had !!!
