"These are excellent. Not to spicy, easy and quick. A big hit in my household and will be making them quite often. Used ice cream scoop to measure and cooked them on rack over a baking sheet. Used sour cream instead of creme fraiche. Update: Add the Monterey Jack to the meat mixture"

Well it is December 20, 2009 and DH and I are sitting on our lanai having a cocktail. Just got done with eating some chicken wings, courtesy of a Recipezaar recipe. They were delicious, of course. The picture above is yours truly with one of our two dogs, Fritz a Cairn Terrier. Our other pooch is Kelly, a Miniature Schnauzer. We will try and post a picture of her at a later date. I should have made my name Naturelovers, because my DH is enjoying this site as much as I do! We are retired and enjoy the outdoors here in FL, like boating, fishing, beaches and gardening. Between us we have 6 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandsons and 1 great-granddaughter on the way. I have always enjoyed cooking and Recipezaar has really opened up new horizons. I am well noted for finding a great recipe that is a big hit and then losing it. I'm hoping by joining Recipezaar, I will lose that reputation. I remember one recipe, about 48 years ago, and yes I still remember it. I found the recipe in a local newspaper and it is gone. It was for a German dish, sauerbraten, not to vinegary, no gingersnaps and served with dumplings. Oh my, was it good, but alas, gone.
