I still have lots of fun cookie pictures to post from our cookie baking party yesterday! I will get those up!

Tonight Katie and Kurt came over for dinner. Katie is recovering from ACL surgery is hobbling around with a huge brace and crutches. She is doing pretty well – minus the stairs 🙂 Katie and Kurt are both big athletes – Kurt is the head football coach at a highschool and Katie is a volleyball coach. Kurt had ACL surgery last summer so they should be both be as good as new by summer!

Brady requested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, so that is what we had! I also made green bean casserole(the first time I made it since Thanksgiving, I sort of threatened Kurt’s life not to finish it so I could take leftover for lunch tomorrow), salad and fresh bread.

I even broke out the Christmas napkins –

We made the meatballs homemade too! The recipe was super simple:

Homemade Meatballs

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Laura’s Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 -2/3 c. Italian bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper
  • Italian seasonings
  • garlic poweder
  1. Mix all ingredients together and form small balls.
  2. Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Toss the warm balls into sauce and serve over hot pasta!
