hmmmm not so sure about that lol ...

I have a finely tuned recipe and my sauce is dependent on good meatballs ...

Sorry to offend your meatball snobbery

lol .. I wont hold it against you Cassie lol

My sauce is one thing that I really go all out on .. and I dont make it but maybe every 4 months or so .. so I guess for that one occasion I can splurge on the meat right .. (I brown sausages(whole) and pork chops and chicken breasts with the garlic and that is in the sauce for the first 4-5 hours. The pork and chicken come out and are dinner the first night in some form. The sausage goes back in with the meatballs (cooked) and simmer for a good long while. THen they sit in the fridge overnight and then simmer more the 2nd day.


Do you do anything similar with the bulgur for meatloaf?

I have never made meatloaf, but I imagine you could. Just never was a fan as a kid and neither was DH so we don't make it. The bulgur really is very subtle in the dish. Once everything is mixed you don't know it is there at all. One thing I do, do is add a lot more spice to the meatballs, but that is more because I love spicy meatballs.

Salmon burgers and salad tonight. It must be fish week for us. The Costco salmon burgers are pretty darn good.

Tonight is burgers, oven fries and asparagus for us.

Bag Chili mix from Menards! lol All I have to do is add ground beef, water, and tomato sauce. I'll check in later and let you all know if it's any good.

Still eating the sauce. Probably not enough time to throw together a lasagna
so probably just a cass bake in the oven with noodles/sausage and cheese with the sauce.

DD is making spaghetti tonight. I don't eat spaghetti, so I'll have a hot ham and cheese sandwich!! Yummy!!

tonite I am making my world famous Bbbq ribs baked beans bbqed hot dogs and hamburgers with macaroni salad and a large watermelon for desert I think I will make my CocaCola BBQ sauce for the ribs with my special rub too.

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! I love ribs. One more thing my family doesn;t like to have to eat, so I rarely get them!! Eat an extra one for me!!

The bag chili mix wasn't bad--will do in a quick pinch but you can do pretty much the same thing with Ortega taco seasoning packet, tomato soup, can of beans and water with ground beef. Not as good as homemade of course, nothing ever is.

Tonight is salmon and whitefish cakes w/ horseradish sauce, baked lemon pasta and yellow squash.

GNO ... think the family is having samwiches.

I'm going to Bone Fish Grill ... if my daughter stays well enough. She was up last night with the pukes. Lovely.

Ick! Sorry Juggy!! That is one part of motherhood I never have mastered. That's DH's job!!

Well last night was suppose to be spaghetti, but ended up hot dogs and french fries. So tonight is suppose to be spaghetti!! I want chicken!! My family would say that's always what I want!! Anyway, let's see what we really have!! The fish ya'll have been eating has been sounding really good!!

Cassie probably wouldn't approve , but I am having popcorn tonight since DH is gone. A girls' gotta do what she wants to do
