It's a snow day and you know what that means...

EATING!!! You literally feel like you have to eat. Dave and I have done pretty good today: Weight Watchers breakfast sandwiches, 2 low sugar peanut butter cookies, and half a lean pocket (Dave had a bag of chips), but we knew we were waiting for dinner tonight of spaghetti and meatballs!!

I never made meatballs before the Dave...and I never used Italian sausage either. So the first birthday dinner I made for him was spaghetti and meatballs. I knew the basics, but ended up doing things my own way.

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 ground Italian sausage
1/4 cup grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 table spoon Italian seasoning
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tsp fresh ground pepper

1. Mix the ingrediants together and form into walnut size balls.
2. Brown balls in olive oil- turning to get sides browned.
3. Add to sauce of choice and simmer for at least 30 minutes (I do 60)


Still looking for a perfect sauce recipe. Mine is ok, but still looking to improve!
We had homemade garlic cheese bread with this.
