"These comforting Potato Puffs make a convenient appetizer in a pinch. They come together with the help of pantry staples, like whole milk, flour, vegetable oil and butter."  Comment from Food Network Kitchen

Seriously, forget dinner, I would love to have these as a meal.  Potatoes are one of my favorite foods and I am always happy to find a new potato recipe.  These would be great appetizers for a party.

Slow cooker recipes are awesome even for retired people at home all day like me.  It is just more convenient.  Take all those simple ingredients, put them in the cooker and walk away.  And it freezes well.  This recipe is for me since I have never had corn chowder and I love everything that goes in it.

"Cashew chicken is one of those menu items that you’ll find at most Chinese or Asian restaurants, but you don’t always have to enjoy it as take-out. It’s easy and quick to make yourself at home. There are no traps or pitfalls between you and a restaurant-quality dish."  Comment from Taste of Home

What a treat it is to prepare a favorite meal from one of your favorite restaurants.  It is also important to make your own variations to the recipe.

"Plan a southern-style meal by serving this country chicken and gravy with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and buttermilk biscuits. The chicken turns out so juicy and delicious, and the homemade gravy only takes about five minutes to make."  Comment from Taste of Home

This is my kind of meal and I am anxious to make it.
