WHATS ON THE MENU...

TONIGHT WE HAD A CLASSIC...

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

SERVED WITH SALAD, GARLIC BREAD AND CHEESECAKE FOR DESSERT.

I STARTED OUT MAKING THE MEAT BALLS. I USED GROUND CHUCK ( LESS FAT), BREAD CRUMBS, A COUPLE EGGS, KETCHUP, CHEESE, GRATED ONION, AND SPICES..I MADE MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED I WAS ONLY FEEDING 3 TONIGHT!

GARLIC BREAD READY FOR THE OVEN..

THESE ARE MY GO TO ITEMS FOR A FAST FRESH SALAD. I LOVE THE PRE PACKAGED LETTUCES. I NEVER EAT THAT NASTY ICE BURG LETTUCE, AND DOLE IS MAKING LOTS OF DIFFERENT LETTUCE VARIETIES. MY FAVORITE IS THE SWEET TENDER BABY LETTUCE. I ALSO LOVE THE MARKET SIDE VEGETABLE MEDLEY FOR A QUICK GO TO. WE DON'T EAT A TON OF VEGGIES NORMALLY AND THIS GIVES US A QUICK MIXTURE OF VEGETABLES FOR A SALAD. YOU JUST HAVE TO CHOP IT UP! ALSO THE TOMATO, AND RED ONION ARE SALAD FAVORITES IN OUR HOUSE...I FORGOT TO ADD THE CUCUMBER TO THE PICTURE BUT WE NEVER EAT A SALAD WITH IT..ITS SCOTT'S FAVORITE THING IN A SALAD..

GOT THE SAUCE PREPARED AND THE MEATBALLS IN.

I DROPPED THE PASTA..JUST A NOTE...SALT YOUR WATER AFTER ITS BOILING TO PREVENT IT FROM STAINING THE BOTTOM OF YOUR STAINLESS STEEL POT.

FOR TONIGHT'S DINNER, I PUT EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE AND LET THE GUYS HELP THEMSELVES. ITS EASIER THAT WAY...WE ALL ATE IN THE LIVING ROOM. OUR FRIEND HAS HIS OWN LITTLE TABLE THAT HE EATS ON ALL THE TIME AND SCOTT AND I SAT AT THE COFFEE TABLE AND ATE.

AND HERE IS DESSERT. I WISH I COULD SAY I MADE THIS CHEESECAKE SAMPLER BUT I DIDN'T. I WOKE UP TOO LATE TO BAKE SO I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS STRAWBERRY, BLUEBERRY, LEMON AND REGULAR NEW STYLE CHEESECAKE. 1/2 OF IT IS GONE ALREADY! I DON'T KNOW WHICH I ENJOYED MORE.. THE PASTA OR THE CHEESE CAKE! THE BOTH WERE REALLY GOOD!

DINNER WAS SOOOOO GOOD TONIGHT. I KNOW SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS IS PRETTY SIMPLE TO MAKE. BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE ANYWAY!
