All New Food!

I’ve really been getting tired of cooking the same meals lately. It’s tough to branch out when you have a husband that is as picky as mine (Don’t tell him I said he’s picky again, he got a little offended last time).This week I’ve decided to try different things for dinner that we don’t usually have. Maybe we just might find something that makes its way into our usual rotation! The meals I decided on for this week aren’t anything special, they are just different than what I usually make.

Let’s start with Day 1.

Meatball Subs (idea from The Pioneer Woman’s Mini Meatball Sanwiches)

Start by combining a pound of ground hamburger, 1/2 c. panko bread crumbs, minced garlic, salt, pepper and 1/2 c. milk)

Mush it up real good with your hands and form little meatballs with it.

Meanwhile, in a sauce pan saute an entire chopped onion in a little bit of olive oil.

After the onions have started to get translucent, make room for the meatballs.

Brown the meatballs on each side for a few minutes. Then, add a jar of marinara sauce (my favorite is Classico Four Cheese) and simmer for about 20 minutes on low heat.

Assemble meatballs on top of a hogi bun and top with provolone cheese!

Verdict – It was pretty good. I think I was expecting too much because the Pioneer Woman (who is pretty much my hero) swears that this is such a fabulous recipe. It was alright. I would make it again on a night when I need to whip something up real quick.

As you can see, I am a wannabe food blogger. I am also a wannabe photographer. Someday, I want to be able to combine food blogging and photography together and have my very own food blog. First on my agenda is to learn how to better photograph food so that it doesn’t look like a bloody mess topped with cheese. haha. Someday, people…someday.
