Breakfast ~ DInner


Since Hubby made me his famous breakfast omelets (this time he put both bacon and sausage in them), I had to come up with an awesome dinner.



We topped our toast with my homemade caramel apple jam too.

We had very strange weather yesterday.  I kept telling the kids it looked like rain, and soon after they left for school, it rained.  Then around 2:00pm, it snowed.  It got cold enough to fire up the wood stove too.  Thankfully, Hubby and I had restocked a small area of wood on the porch. 

Hubby decided we would not split wood yesterday, so I'd have time to make homemade meatballs to go with spaghetti.  Funny how that excuse got him out of working the wood, ha ha!  We still have a bit of home canned tomato sauce left too.


I used Candy's recipe over at Lazy J Bar C.  I used half for dinner and froze the other half for another meal.  I love that these use oatmeal instead of any bread crumbs, and I don't have to brown them on the stove top.




I made us a big bowl of salad too - arugula, endive, radicchio, and shaved Parmesan.  This was topped with a homemade lemon vinaigrette. We have never tried radicchio, and I'm not even sure we have eaten arugula.

Three meatballs were enough for me.   I used my cookie scoop.  They are the easiest meatballs I've ever made, and delicious.  We used half ground chuck and half ground pork.

That salad of yours looks fabulous! I absolutely love arugula and grow it every year. I tried once to grow radicchio, but didn't have any luck. I should try again 'cause it's always expensive in our organic grocery store.

I make my meat balls in the oven, too, so no browning in a skillet involved. I just made a fresh batch of them for the freezer a week or so ago.
Yum and Yum! That jam looks amazing as do your meatballs! I am with you on this weather...was snowing here too. Here is hoping spring comes back with warm weather! Nicole xo
Mama Pea, after making a meatball recipe on the stove (many years ago), I never wanted to make them again. I love the oven type. So easy! Hubby is in heaven, as are the kids. You are right, radicchio is expensive. The kids loved the salad too. I am so eager to get more greens in my garden this year.
Thanks Nicole. I made the jam one time, and we are savoring it. It's not the easiest to make, but so delicious.

Candy, I love the meatball recipe! I joked to Hubby this morning about making meatball omelets, ha ha!

I love radicchio, so peppery tasting, and adds color to salads. I like the sound of that jam.
Your supper looks delicious.
Your weather sounds like weather we have here sometimes.
It's crazy isn't it?
I'll have to go and check out this recipe of Candy's.
...I just noticed. I have a plate similar to yours. Corell with the brown flower print! ;)
have a wonderful weekend.
Mary, it does give the salad color and flavor. Yum.
Patricia, the recipe is wonderful.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
