Cocktail Meatballs I
So, one review gave one star because (as they write) they use frozen meatballs from Sam's Club. Haha! No wonder they hated this! Please, if you dont actually follow the recipe and then hate it, then dont review for Pete's sake! The meatball recipe was great, and I cannot imagine the frozen Sam's Club meatballs were any good. My story: made these exactly. Brought them to a cook out in a slow cooker to keep warm. They ended up on the counter in the house where no one ate them... that is not until they were discovered later on. I walked in to a crowd of people chowing down on the meatballs directly from the cooker then dipping in the sauce which I kept on the side. 6 pounds of meatballs (yes folks, 6 lbs!) were devoured in a matter of an hour. Although it was sadly forgotten at first, this dish became the hit of the party and mostly because of the meatball recipe. I now use this recipe as my standard meatball recipe for everything even if I am not making the sauce and instead use the meatballs for something else. So if you're going to make this? Please make sure to use the actual recipe, ok? Do not substitute pre-made meatballs which are generally terrible anyway. This is a great easy meatball recipe and is delicious! Also, I use butter instead of lard, and it works perfectly.

Cream Corn Like No Other
UPDATE: Another Year and Im still making this and everyone LOVES it. A must try. Love this recipe! OK. So let me say, I have always hated creamed corn, but this is wonderful! I made this for Thanksgiving last year for the first time and all of the guests raved about this recipe. Other times I have used fat free milk with cornstarch and cut out the flour which I find sometimes gives a floury texture. Mix the cornstarch in the cold milk to ensure no clumps. Came out just as good as the original recipe and was a little healthier. Do make sure to use fresh Parmesan. The canned grated stuff wont melt into a creamy sauce. This was great!

Souvlaki
Ok, like others, Soy Sauce isnt Greek, but who cares when the marinade is so good? I used this on mushrooms, pork, chicken, peppers and shallots. It was "rock my world" good. One recommendation: definitely allow enough time to marinate. If you only allow a short time, I have found that the flavors from the marinade are weak. I recommend overnight or at least 6 hours. I also use low sodium soy sauce, so maybe this is the reason, but regardless, try this and I know you will not be dissappointed!
