A week ago we celebrated Don's birthday with some of his kids, grandkids and his parents. I made his favorite dinner and his mom brought over Angel Food cake for dessert. It was a hectic day. We spent a couple of hours in the morning planting some vegetables with Ethan's help and then we visited with the kids and cooked up dinner for everyone. While the meatballs were cooking I took off with the girls for a pedicure. Yeah, I know it was Don's birthday so why did I get the pedicure? So I could get that "sexy red toe nail polish".
I made Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner and have had many requests for my recipe so here it is."Michelle's Red Sauce"
1 #10 can crushed tomatoes (Sam's)
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons Basil
2 Tablespoons Oregano
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup minced garlic (bottled)
Simmer, stirring occasionally for at least an hour.
"Michelle's Meatballs"
5 lbs. Ground Beef
5 eggs
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup minced garlic (bottled)
2 Tablespoons Basil
2 Tablespoons Oregano
3/4 cup rice milk (or regular milk)
1/2 cup Catsup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Mix together all ingredients. Use ice cream scoop to get even proportions for the meatballs and mold with hands. Place in pans sprayed with Pam (must have sides to catch grease). Bake at 375 degrees for about an hour. Transfer to pans lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Makes about 4 dozen meatballs (1/2 cup size).
Happy Birthday to the best Husband!! You're Awesome! I love you more than you know!!
