Happy Foto Friday to you all! The past seven days have been filled to the brim...here are the highlights from the beginning of the week:
I went to Ikea for the first time with Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Clark. It was a grand trip with fantastic company! I got all sorts of decoration and storage ideas and had the tastiest (and cheapest) Swedish Meatball meal I may have ever eaten:
And as you know, Monday was October 31 AKA...
1) Halloween. We celebrated by giving out some candy (to the three trick-or-treaters we had before Bible study) and with hot cocoa from our cauldron mugs Mama Wolgemuth gave us:
2) the Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Brodrecht. The day marked three years of marital bliss for Mr. Poe's sister and hubs. Yay!
What adventures did you have this week?
Another interesting piece of information about Ms. Bobbitt is that she doesn't eat red meat. So to go along with this morning's post, "What's for Dinner Wednesday" will be about the meal I made when she visited us last weekend: spaghetti and turkey meatballs.For the Meatballs:
Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey, 2 large eggs, 2 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs, 1 tsp salt (not shown), and 1 tsp pepper (not shown).
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with your hands. Then, roll the mixture into 1 1/2 inch diameter balls and place in an ungreased oven-safe dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees until the center/largest meatball is fully cooked (approximately 40 minutes).
Note: These balls can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen until you're ready to cook.
For the Sauce:
Ingredients: 2 cans diced tomatoes, 2 cans tomato sauce, 1 Tbs garlic powder, 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt (not shown), 2 tsp pepper (not shown), 2 tsp fresh oregano and basil (optional, not shown)
Stir all ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan. Bring the mixture up to a boil; then turn the heat down to low-med so the sauce can simmer for at least an hour, stirring occasionally.
Serve the turkey meatballs and sauce over your choice of noodle - we used whole wheat thin spaghetti - and enjoy!
