Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Preheat oven to 400F

1lb ground chicken
1/2 small onion, grated
2 cloves garlic grated
2T parsley (or more if preferred)
salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
2T butter
1/2c hot sauce (franks)

In large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except butter and hot sauce. After combined well separate into sections and make 4 large meatballs OR 16 small meatballs.
Arrange on a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle with a little olive oil. Place in oven for 10-12 minutes for small meatballs or approximately 25-30 minutes for large meatballs. Use thermometer to make sure they are cooked through but not overcooked.
While the meatballs are baking melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.

This recipe makes wonderful meatballs that can be used in spaghetti or other recipes if you don't want them with hot sauce.

Leftover Cereal Bars

6 Cups cereal
1 Cup peanuts
1/2 cup peanutbutter (crunchy works great)
1 bag (10.5oz) mini marshmallows
2T milk
Hint: this recipe used up all the little bits of cereal that I had at the bottom of boxes that weren't getting eaten. I used cocoa crispies, cookie crisp, smores cereal, special k, and cheerios. The varieties worked great.

Spray bottom and sides of 13x9 cake pan. I also lined mine with parchment paper and sprayed that. In large mixing bowl combine the cereal and peanuts.
In 3qt saucepan heat peanutbutter, marshmallows and milk on low heat. Stir occasionally until it's all melted together.
Pour mixture over the cereal, stir well to coat. Works well if you spray your mixing spoon with cooking spray first. It's very sticky so my advice is take your rings off, spray your hands with cooking spray or butter and dig in. Then press it into the pan. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
