    A slice of meatloaf or a platter of meatballs? We are torn when it comes to deciding between the two, but when it really comes down to it, finger food is the best option for all ages, especially for parties, game days, and lunches.

    It's a part primal instinct, part convenience, and all about the flavor, of course. Have you ever dipped meatloaf into a creamy, homemade ranch dressing? It is a more likely situation to dip the perfectly formed, and baked, meatball into that deliciousness - just make sure that the meatball is about 1 inch in diameter.

    You might already know how easy meatballs are to make, too, particularly if you are a connoisseur of them, whether they be beef, pork, or turkey. What you need to know about cooking with ground chicken is that it is not enough to mix some lean chicken meat with spices and call it a meal.

    That just won't do! It is an absolute must to add moisture and a hint of fat (or use less lean meat) so that your creation does not dry out. And forget the breadcrumbs; those are so passé; coconut flour works wonderfully to hold everything together.

    It may be a bit of an overkill, but while we are salivating over the idea of our meatballs drowning in a spicy buffalo sauce, chicken with a buffalo ranch coleslaw comes immediately to mind - maybe we'll save that for later in the week. Right now, however, this meal is in need of a cooling cucumber salad.
