With Regards to the Meatballs...

(see this week's Recipe of the Week)

I do make my own meatballs. After 6 years of somewhat okay but edible meatballs I finally found a great recipe, and with a little of my own creativity in the kitchen, I invented "Amazing Meatballs" (that is what they are called in my recipe database). Some dishes I use them in are meatball subs, sweet & sour meatballs, polynesian meatballs,  and creamy rice and meatball casserole. I think perhaps that these will be my own secret recipe... just request them next time you visit!

Clean Floors

Today I got a lot done in the kitchen. Cupcakes for a cupcake-cake for Daniel's baptism.... icing for the cupcakes... chocolate chip cake because I made too much icing and wanted to put it on something rather than eat it with a spoon... communion bread... lunch was sandwiches and dinner was leftover spaghetti... and I just finished cleaning the floor. I love clean floors.

Baking Bread

I have discovered over the last couple years the joy of making my own bread. I will readily admit that I do use a breadmachine to do most of the work, but I still find it fulfilling. The bread is usually delicious (sometimes I must mess up the recipe) and I know exactly what goes into it. How much sugar and salt is in a 2$ loaf of white bread at the grocery store? I don't know, but I know that my bread only has 2 tbsp sugar (sometimes I substitute 1 tbsp honey for the sugar) and 1 tsp of salt, and that makes me feel good. I also sub some of the white flour with whole wheat. Plus whenever a loaf comes out of the oven, I can have a hot fresh slice (perhaps with my own raspberry jam!).

Recipe of the Week

I want to share some of the yummy things this family eats, but not everything has a story.
So my plan is to post a new recipe every tuesday of something we ate during the previous week.
Please remind me if I forget.
