the sausage balls

My absolute favorite appetizers are cheese and sausage balls – they always have been and they will always be. That recipe will go up in next few days but that’s not what we’re discussing here. Today’s subject is the Buffalo Chicken Ball!

The idea for these buffalo chicken balls came to me when I was prepping buffalo chicken dip and sausage balls for a party. I figured I could use the same technique as the sausage balls with buffaloey chickeney ingredients and create a tasty new snack. I had to add a few more seasonings but in the end, I think they turned out pretty good!

Make sure you serve these with ranch for dipping. It really rounds out the flavor.

The perfect team

Since I just recently learned how to cook (I’m still learning…I probably shouldn’t write that in the past tense!), I never realized I had such a love for grilling! Pat and I received a gorgeous gas grill as a gift for our wedding (thanks to some amazing friends), and it was been getting some amazing use this summer! Some of my favorite recipes I’ve ever posted on The Cookie Rookie have been from the grill. This recipe is one of those favorites.  Healthy, flavorful, quick, and easy. And SO delicious California Fitness.

The Cookie Rookie As always, Scout was on hand to supervise the cooking process.  She is the absolute best sous chef…except if left alone she would eat everything in sight.  So she supervises the grill and I supervise her California Fitness.
The perfect team.

I’m slowly but surely learning to cook healthier meals!Chicken Fajita Kebabs with Cilantro Pesto. So yummy on the grill! The Cookie RookieI love basil pesto, but had never tried, or even tasted cilantro pesto. YUM! I love cilantro on my salsas and in Mexican recipes, so it was the perfect compliment to these Chicken Fajita Kebabs.  All the flavor of Chicken Fajitas on one healthy stick.  Perfection.
