Spaghetti and Meatballs

When it comes to this recipe keep it simple. This is a great fast recipe, using store bought meatballs. We are so busy these days that few of us have time to make homemade meatball I can post a homemade recipe later, but this recipe is for families on the go.

2 Cans organic diced tomatoes

2 lbs cooked hormone and antibiotic free turkey meatballs

2 Bay leaves

1 1/2 teaspoon dried organic basil

1 teaspoon organic garlic powder

1 teaspoon organic sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 lb spaghetti noodles with protein and omega-3

1 tablespoon organic olive oil

Directions: puree the tomatoes, mix ingredients together (except for noodles) and place in crock pot or slow cooker with meatballs. Put sauce on low and cook for 2 to 3 hours. You can get this together before you go to pick up the kids and when you are done with after school activities dinner is almost too. Cook pasta according to directions. Put a salad together while noodles cook and dinner is served. This is my families favorite red sauce. Hope your family likes it as well. Remember kids like simple. oh yeah don’t eat the bay leaves.

Taco Night

I know Taco night is So easy. I set mine up like a taco bar. My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free. Look around your grocery, you may find similar items. Directions Put beef and 1 package seasoning in skillet and break up while cooking until all meat is browned. In another skillet put your cleaned shrimp with shell and tail removed. Add other package of seasoning to shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink. Heat taco shells in oven according to directions.

I Have A Problem

I am writing something other than a recipe today. Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem. The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food. So the dishes you see are my dishes. I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few. So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked. However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave. So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store. So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes. They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop. I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
