this morning I dug meatballs out from the freezer…

then I made a sauce to go with them and decided to add the spaghetti to cook in the sauce…

once it was cooked, it went into the fridge to cool down which helps reduce the carbs…

when I reheated half of it for my supper, it was delicious;-)…

my grandson brought over some items he had picked up for me and stayed for dinner…

we had fresh spaghetti (which we picked up last week) and meatballs with a tomato sauce I made last week…

our meal was finished off with garlic bread and a salad…

a lovely visit and Christmas wishes discussed;-)…

hard to believe that there are only 34 days until the big day…

today, I got dressed, lol… I know that is a big deal for me and a lot of you, I’ll bet… not having to worry about anyone coming to the door makes pjs perfectly acceptable all day…

in the morning I cooked spaghetti and let it cool down so that the sugars would fly through my system when I warm it up…

looked in the fridge and found part of a jar of spaghetti sauce which I used as a base for my sauce…

the addition of spices, A1, ketchup, and soy sauce, with time to mingle together, makes for a tasty addition to the spaghetti… also added some frozen meatballs to get in the required protein… smelled lovely as it was simmering…

while that was cooking, I went out and shovelled between the front steps and the driveway… snow seemed heavier than in the backyard yesterday, lol… and my back is not so happy just now;-(…

my shovelers came by this morning and did the driveway and sidewalk (but not the connecting area)… very happy they were able to get that done as it needs to be clear for the mail carrier… and Tuesday my grocery order should arrive as well…

supper was tasty and there is enough sauce and spaghetti for two more meals… yay…

seemed like a full day;-)…

this afternoon I made some tiny meatballs…

felt like I was channeling my dad… he made the best meatballs ever… and the tiniest, lol…

haven’t made meatballs since forever… of course now that I’m not supposed to eat pasta I haven’t bothered even with meat sauce…

remembered the times we made spaghetti from scratch with my parents, Aunty Minnie and her mom, Mrs. Jenetta… tasted amazing and we had such fun… 

to make the meatballs tiny, I used a melon baller that the wonderful Jacqui Eade had me purchase for a great dinner party that she cooked for my friends and I…

great to remember these special moments… 

maybe I’ll make spaghetti for supper tomorrow…
