As for the carrots- I steam them until just tender, then add a couple of teaspoons of butter and a tablespoon of maple syrup. Cook a couple of minutes while the sauce bubbles (be careful not to burn), turning and coating the carrots. Turn off and after a minute, sprinkle with a bit of salt. Super quick and easy side dish that takes very little time or effort while you're cooking the rest of the meal. You can basically steam while everything else is on it's last 10 minutes then do the glaze within a minute or 2.

[@mommy2libras]

I still make pigs in a blanket fairly often, usually on a random weekend afternoon for us to have for lunch or just snack on. Sausage balls are another favorite. Add 2-4 oz of softened cream cheese to the sausage/cheese/Bisquick mix and they'll be much less hard and dryish. You can also make those, freeze them after you've made into balls and then cook from frozen pretty much the same as from just raw. I keep a batch in the freezer to take to gatherings. The cream cheese really helps if you have to use gluten free Bisquick because that is drier and grainier. If you don't want tonadd the cream cheese then mix and let sit in the fridge for a few hours before rolling into balls and cooking to give the gluten-free Bisquick time to absorb moisture (but i recommend just adding the cream chese. Doesn't affect the flavor, just helps make it more manageable and keeps them from being dry once cooked, especially leftovers which can harden once cooled or refrigerated).

That's exactly why everytime I think about having a gathering in my home, that's as far as it goes. Sadly, entertaining is becoming a lost art.

I have suggested a potluck gathering -- something my mother's generation used to do -- where everyone brings a dish to pass. But that also seems like too much trouble for most. One commented, "But I would still have to clean my house!" I can't help but wonder how home life will be for the next generation.
