Weeknight Italian-Style Beef Meatballs Simmered in Tomato Sauce {Gluten-Free} and DIY Warm Autumn Spice Room Spray

November 4, 2015 by Faith 4 Comments

This Weeknight Italian-Style Beef Meatballs Simmered in Tomato Sauce recipe comes together easily for a delicious weeknight meal. Jarred tomato sauce works well here and when you’re done, I show you how to re-purpose the empty mason jar into spray bottle for DIY Warm Autumn Spice Room Spray!

Some meals are always saved for special occasions.

Usually if it’s just my hubby and I for dinner and pasta is on the menu, I whip up a quick tomato sauce with browned ground beef. Meatballs in my house usually mean a special occasion, mostly because I typically don’t take the time to make them.

But this recipe comes together fast enough to be weeknight-friendly, promise.…

Thank you to Lactalis for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Herbed Roquefort-Stuffed Turkey Meatballs with Cranberry Apple Glaze. I have two favorite meals all year: Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner. As much as I love the traditional turkey dinner we serve on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve is what I really look forward to all year long....

Tomato-Simmered Lemon and Oregano-Scented Bison Meatballs

October 16, 2014 by Faith 5 Comments

On our dinner table growing up, the most unusual meat to be found was venison. (Which my sister and I never liked, not only because of its gamey flavor, but also because the thought of eating Bambi didn’t sit well with us.) I know that’s probably crazy to some of you who eat a whole gamut of meat....

Chicken Meatball Satay Curry

June 9, 2014 by Faith 5 Comments

I love chicken satay; I mean I really adore it. I never hit up a Thai restaurant without ordering it, and I like coming up with different variations of it (like soup and sandwiches) in my own kitchen....

Sweet and Sour Turkey Meatballs

September 25, 2013 by Faith 21 Comments

Sweet and Sour Turkey Meatballs feature veggies in the meatballs and in the sauce, and are a great way to get picky eaters to eat more vegetables! Have you ever come across a wild turkey? When I lived in dorms as an undergrad in college, there was a short stretch of narrow road leading to my dormitory that was flanked by trees on both sides. There was a pack of wild turkeys living in there, and I kid you not, they were mean. And scary....

Lamb Meatballs in a Spicy Curry

May 23, 2013 by Faith 11 Comments

My mom has always been quite the sneaky cook. She always wanted us to expand our culinary horizons and give new things a try. We weren’t picky kids, but when the new things she wanted us to try were hare, bear, and deer, we protested something fierce. (We had some serious hunters in the family…and the bear was a result of my uncle about to be attacked in the woods by a bear when he was deer hunting. He literally had one shot!) So when it came to uncommon meats, my mom tried to fool us every time. It got to the point when she […]...

Basic Meatballs

April 3, 2011 by Faith 24 Comments

I know I’ve shared a couple of my meatball recipes before (more recently kebab meatballs served gyro-style, and quite a while ago turkey-vegetable meatball bombers). The recipe I’m sharing today is for my go-to meatballs…you know, the recipe you’d reach for if you were making spaghetti with tomato sauce and wanted the perfect meatballs to decorate the top....

Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style

February 9, 2011 by Faith 70 Comments

Kebab Meatballs Served Gyro-Style is a delicious fusion of the flavors in classic Middle Eastern kebabs and Greek gyros. For some reason, I really don’t make a lot of fusion foods, but I do like to update classic dishes with slight subtle nuances to keep them fresh and exciting. This fusion was born out of necessity to solve a problem I had with making gyros at home (more about that in a second), and it really is a match made in heaven. Kebab is a Middle Eastern dish of ground meat (typically lamb, but beef can also be used) that’s seasoned with parsley, onion, cumin, […]...

Spaghetti Ring and Meatball Soup

October 5, 2010 by Faith 53 Comments

Spaghetti Ring and Meatball Soup is a healthy twist on a classic favorite; it’s a winner with kids and adults! Growing up my mom was a huge advocate of healthy, balanced meals. Foods like SpaghettiOs were considered junk and names like Chef Boyardee were taboo. My sister and I loved eating at our friends’ houses where we could feel like normal kids and eat things like frozen fish sticks and boxed mac and cheese. Looking back I appreciate my mom making sure we ate healthy, and when I’m a mother I absolutely plan on ensuring that my kids eat right too....

Turkey-Vegetable Meatball Bombers

September 3, 2009 by Faith 19 Comments

Depending on where you’re from, you might know this type of sandwich as something other than a bomber, such as a submarine (or sub for short), hoagie, hero, blimpie, grinder, or po-boy. Anyway, it doesn’t matter since a meatball sandwich by another other name would taste as delicious! These sandwiches are picky-eater pleasers…my husband (who typically will only touch a steak sub) actually loved these meatballs…of course he wanted his bomber without cheese, but at least he was eating turkey-veggie meatballs! (Yes, for some reason my hubby is able to consume slimy green soup without any qualms, but he has a problem when it comes to cheese…go […]...
