It's been awhile since my last post, but I have good reasons for the hiatus - I moved from PennState to Delaware! The move has been exciting so far, but extremely exhausting and time-consuming. It has been more than a week since I first arrived at Delaware, and there are still boxes to unpack. Plus the windows are not yet covered by blinds so any curious neighbors can easily peek in right now, and half of the living room furniture still has not arrived. However, I do get to cook in my new kitchen, so life is good :)
Armed with new gadgets and tools, I am more motivated than ever to try out new recipes. I have only made meatballs once before in my life, and I didn't like how it turned out. In fact, I do not like meatballs in general - I would never order them in a restaurant or elect to eat them when I do not have to. However, this recipe just looked so good that I had to try it. The meatballs are not made from just ground beef or pork; it contains a secret ingredient... Hot Italian sausage! The sausage definitely gives the meatballs a slight kick and flavor. I also love the spinach in the meatballs, because then the meatballs are not a pure ball of meat. The new oven cooked the meatballs well, and the meatballs paired very well with some red-sauced pasta!
