Well, bless her heart, Carol Wilson is at it again. This time, the Everett cook and Forum helper-outer solves the Super Bowl Sunday what-to-make problem for us.
“I love those little Jiffy muffin mixes,’’ she starts off, “and I like the corn bread mix because it’s a little sweeter than the regular.
“I found this meatball recipe on the Jiffy Mix Web site. These meatballs are really good for dinner served with Spanish rice and refried beans.
“They are also perfect to make for a party, so I plan to make these for Super Bowl Sunday. I can assure you there are no leftovers with these.’’
Then, for a nice cold kickoff contrast, we have a quick-fix dip from the folks at Roland Foods. It’s a dilly of a mustard-zapped yogurt concoction, the perfect center for a sunburst surround of assorted raw veggies.
