Monday Menu: Meatball Subs

The meatballs and sauce can be prepared and frozen, in portions if you like, and used to make subs or serve over pasta.

A quick tip, cookie scoops make meatball production easier and quick.

This is a DOUBLE recipe that makes 8 to 10 subs, you can easily halve the ingredients or you can freeze extra meatballs and sauce for later.

Meatballs:

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef*
  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp basil

Furry Friday: Flora not Fauna

The weather is still unusually hot and while the leaves in the mountains have changed, down here the plants are very confused.

My roses are in full bloom and beautiful. I dread what a sudden frost might do to the plants.

Monday Menu: Yup, That’s A Lot of Garlic

I know this sounds like a crazy recipe, but the Garlic, Garlic Chicken is a keeper.  The garlic roasts to a nice, nutty, sweet flavor, perfect with a slice of bread. A neighbor was overwhelmed with garlic this fall, so gifted me with a couple of large bulbs. And whole chickens were on sale, so it seemed like a perfect time to bring this recipe out again.

I first had it at friends’ house, and I was as skeptical as you are now, but trust me, it’s as yummy as it sounds crazy.
