If there are meatballs at a party or gameday, that’s where I will be. I can’t turn down a saucy meatball on a toothpick.

Why Cook Meatballs In A Crockpot?

There’s something wonderfully comforting about a pot of meatballs simmering away in a rich, savory sauce. Even better? You don’t have to stand over the stove to make it happen.

Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or preparing food for a crowd, frozen meatballs make this recipe wonderfully convenient. Keep a bag in the freezer, and you’ll always have the makings of an easy, satisfying meal.

They’re also perfect for meal prep. Make a big batch and refrigerate. When you need a satisfying homemade meal in a hurry, these meatballs are ready to save the day.

Ingredient Tips: For an extra layer of flavor, stir in diced green chiles or a spoonful of salsa. You can also choose mild or spicy enchilada sauce depending on your taste. Use your preferred frozen meatballs.

Serving Tips: These meatballs can be served straight from the slow cooker with toothpicks for an easy party appetizer. For dinner, spoon them over steamed rice, cilantro-lime rice, or crushed tortilla chips.

Storage Tips: Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Eat within 3 days.

Making Sushi At Home

My daughter and I have always had a love for sushi. But the cost and availability have always been an issue. Sushi restaurants, especially good ones, are pretty expensive. So I have switched to making sushi at home. Sushi bowls, sushi burritos and sushi rolls. With a little practice and finding quality ingredients it is no trouble at all.

For this roll, you will need to make the rice and the sauce first: Sushi Rice, Sriracha Mayo

These Sauces Are Great For Adding More Flavor: Eel Sauce, Mango Sauce

Food Safety Tip: If you’re using raw tuna, buy fish specifically sold by a reputable seller for raw consumption and keep it properly refrigerated. For extra caution, choose cooked tuna instead.

Prep Tip: Keep your ingredients chilled, work with slightly damp hands, and don’t rush the rolling process. Your first roll may be imperfect—and that’s part of the fun.

Finishing Touches: Arrange your spicy tuna rolls on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve alongside soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Storage Tips: Sushi rolls need to be kept chilled in the fridge. Do not keep leftovers for more than 24 hours, I recommend serving and consuming immediately.

Spicy Tuna Roll

Bring the flavors of your favorite sushi bar to your kitchen with a homemade Spicy Tuna Roll.

Course Dinner

Cuisine Japanese

Prep Time 20 minutes minutes

Total Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Calories 595kcal

Author Nicole Harris

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Ahi Tuna Steak raw, minced (sushi grade)
• ¼ cup masago
• 1-2 tablespoons spicy mayo sauce
• 3 cups sushi rice cooked & cooled (but not cold)
• 3-4 sheets of nori seaweed

Instructions

• With your bamboo mat rolled flat on your work surface, place a piece of the Nori seaweed sheet on top of the mat.
• Scoop about 1 cup of sushi rice on the Nori and spread the rice evenly over the Nori sheet, firmly pressing it down (dip your fingers in the small bowl of water as often as necessary to keep the rice from sticking to your fingers).
• Flip the seaweed sheet over so the rice is now on the bamboo mat.
• In a small bowl, mix the minced ahi tuna steak, masago, and spicy mayo.
• Spread about ¼ of the tuna mixture along the long edge of the nori.
• Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the rice and Nori sheet and tightly roll until the sushi is now the shape of a log.
• Sprinkle with tuxedo sesame seeds, if desired.
• Slice the roll into 1” pieces, wiping the knife blade clean after every slice so the rice doesn’t stick to the blade.
• Arrange the pieces to your liking and drizzle with additional spicy mayo.
• Serve with a dollop of wasabi, some pickled ginger, and soy sauce.

Notes

Optional:Tuxedo Sesame Seeds, Wasabi, Pickled Ginger,Soy Sauce

Lazy dinner casseroles are my jam! I love a good mix, dump and bake dinner. When I was a kid anything involving tater tots would’ve been a win. Now that I’m an adult, nothing has changed lol. Tater tots are still a win!

This meal is simple, quick and not too expensive. Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this casserole especially convenient. Simply pull the meat from the bones, shred it, and mix it with the creamy filling. There’s no need to cook chicken from scratch, which means you can get this hearty dinner assembled and into the oven in just minutes.

Crispy tots, creamy chicken, and pure comfort in every bite.

This casserole is also wonderfully flexible. You can add frozen mixed vegetables, add the bacon for extra flavor, or stir in your favorite seasonings. It’s an excellent way to turn leftover rotisserie chicken into a completely new meal.

Whether you’re feeding a hungry family, looking for an easy potluck dish, or simply craving some classic comfort food, Rotisserie Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a recipe worth keeping in your regular dinner rotation.

I’m all about shortcuts, cheats and easy recipes inspired by more complicated dishes. Basically I am a lazy cook! That is why I love sliders that have flavor combinations of my favorite meals.

Unlike traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu, which requires rolling, breading, and frying, these sliders simplify the process without sacrificing flavor. Every bite delivers the familiar combination of creamy cheese, smoky ham, and juicy chicken wrapped in warm, buttery bread that’s crisp on top and irresistibly soft inside.

The best part? These sliders come together in about 30 minutes, making them a reliable favorite for busy weeknights and last-minute entertaining

I’m a sucker for anything that is topped with a fried egg. That runny yolk dripping down is just so satisfying.

The Croque Madame is proof that simple ingredients can create something truly elegant. Crispy bread, creamy sauce, savory ham, melted cheese, and a rich egg topping come together in one unforgettable French comfort dish.

Perfect for brunch, lunch, or even breakfast-for-dinner, this classic recipe is guaranteed to impress guests and satisfy cravings alike.

Tips for the Best Croque Madame

• Use Gruyère Cheese. Gruyère melts beautifully and provides the authentic nutty flavor classic to French sandwiches.
• Don’t Skip the Béchamel. The creamy sauce is what elevates this sandwich from ordinary grilled cheese to French bistro perfection.
• Serve Immediately. Croque Madame is best enjoyed hot while the cheese is gooey and the egg yolk is runny.

Variations

Croque Monsieur
Skip the egg topping for the classic original version.
Turkey Croque Madame
Substitute turkey for ham for a lighter twist.
Vegetarian Version
Use sautéed mushrooms and spinach instead of ham.
Spicy Croque Madame
Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot honey for extra heat.

We just LOVE sliders at my house. They are not made only on game-days, sliders make a regular appearance on my dinner table. I love how versatile they are, so many flavor combos. And it allows everyone to eat as many or as few as they like depending on how hungry they are. Sliders are perfect for feeding a crowd!

What Makes These Steak Sliders Special?

The secret is in the cowboy butter. Melted butter infused with garlic, herbs, a hint of spice, and a tangy kick that seeps into every bite of steak and bread. When paired with thinly sliced steak and perfectly melted cheese, it transforms simple sliders into something unforgettable.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• boneless sirloin steak 
• oil
• salt/pepper
• unsalted butter
• garlic
• Worcestershire sauce 
• honey Dijon mustard
• paprika
• cayenne pepper
• fresh parsley
• red pepper flakes
• onion
• slider buns
• Gouda slices 

Tips for Perfect Sliders

Use high heat for the steak to lock in flavor without overcooking. Don’t skip the resting step this keeps the meat juicy. And be generous with the cowboy butter; it’s what ties everything together.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pound boneless sirloin steak
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp pepper
• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 4 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp honey Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

• Trim fat off the steak as needed. Put one tbsp of oil on one side of the steak, rub all over. Repeat with the other tbsp of oil on the other side. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper and rub in as well. Set aside.
• In a large sauce pan add in the stick of butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, honey Dijon, and the seasonings. Melt over a low heat and stir until combined. Once melted add about 1/4 cup of the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
