Last night I tried another dish for the first time...don't worry, I am not always like this. Usually I go for the same old stuff until I get the bug to try new dishes. Anyway, I made meatballs for the first time in my life. They were also very good. Here's the recipe if you'd like to make them also.

As always, I modified this recipe also. I didn't buy seasoned bread crumbs...just the plain and then seasoned it to my own palate. I also added more onions and garlic...yum!

What are you doing to me? These all sound delicious, and here I am, fasting. I will have to check them more closely after my fast has ended.
Those sound really good! I love meatballs and have a couple of different recipes. I will have to give these a try.
