Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Meatball Subs

I love meatball subs, but have never thought to make them myself at home.  The other night I had a craving for one and decided there was no reason I couldn't make some.


I found a meatball recipe in my Taste of  Home Cookbook that didn't require the meatballs to be baked and they turned out great!  This was a yummy meal!  


Ingredients:

2 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 lb. ground pork
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped onion
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Provolone cheese slices
4 sub rolls

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs, garlic, and parsley.  Crumble pork over mixture, then sprinkle with cheese and mix well.  Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls and set aside.

In a large skillet, bring the spaghetti sauce to a boil.  Carefully add meatballs to sauce.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.

Preheat oven to 350*.  Cut sub rolls open.  Fill rolls with meatballs and sauce, cover with Provolone cheese.  Bake until cheese is melted.

I had leftover sauce and meatballs, so the next night I cooked some pasta and we had pasta and meatballs.  Two nights of meals, hooray!
