Spaghetti and Meatballs

Wednesday's Menu for Mom meal was spaghetti and meatballs. I tired their recipe. It was good, but I prefer the one that I have done previously. I did take their suggestion and mixed up five pounds worth of meat, baked and froze them. I separated it into 4 meals rather than 5 so I have three meals of meatball in my freezer. We also had salad, garlic bread, and apples. I altered the garlic bread recipe. I used sliced Italian bread; mixed softened butter, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and dried parsley together. Spread it on one side of the bread. Placed them in a pan and sprinkled fresh Parmesan cheese on top. Baked at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and them broiled them on low for about 5 minutes. Yummy!

Spaghetti

Yesterday we had spaghetti. I browned up hamburger with some sausage seasoning turning it into sausage. Mixed the sausage with spaghetti sauce. I steamed the broccoli over the cooking spaghetti. We also had pears and cottage cheese

It was a good dinner. I liked cooking the broccoli over the spaghetti, I felt like I used less pots. It was also fun to turn the hamburger into sausage.
