E.V.'s on a roll...literally!

Sorry for ditching my fans for the past two days....And, for the record, I use the term 'fans' rather loosely...I do not believe I have really reached a point where I have those.:-)  Someday, when I do, I will list you all...personally...  I promise!   I had cats and other catastrophes with which to contend..as well as an entire list of excuses...no one likes excuses whether they are legitimate or lame, however I'm back..with a vengeance!

Before I proceed to the delicious spaghetti and mozzarella-stuffed meatball meal...we shall start with our afternoon walk in the park.  It was rather hot here, for a change!

"Mama, it's hot out here...can we just lie in the grass for a minimum of ten minutes??"

Which we actually ended up doing because she wasn't about to move...no matter what I tried!  She's rather stubborn.

The more I tried to be convincing...the more adamant she was about not really leaving said 'cool' spot...So I finally gave up.

Once I actually did get her to move, we proceeded to the park...where she rolled around in sand and grass...  That is just GREAT for your carpeting and furniture, by the way.  Just GREAT!

"Look, Mama!  I'm great at rolling around in grass AND sand.  Aren't I special????"  Yes, she is 'special' in her own way only a mother could love :-)

Once we were done lurching around the neighborhood rolling in things (A stupid bee stung me in the ankle thereby making it difficult to walk...like you care!  hahahaha  Just kidding..but it really hurt!)...I managed to make a meal.  It was pretty tasty! 

I purchased some roma tomatoes and slow-roasted them today with some garlic cloves...to make the sauce...homemade sauce is the ONLY route....seriously.

Cored, sliced in half, topped with Italian herbs, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Roasted for about 3-4 hours at 275 degrees..I then peeled the skins and pureed.  Salt free and super delicious!

Being the carnivore I am...I couldn't help myself.  I made meatballs...only these were special meatballs.  Inside were little pearl-sized pieces of mozzarella cheese...which makes the meatball THAT much better.  You just need to trust me on this one...

Typical meatball recipe...only with mozzarella cheese in the middle.  It makes for a nice surprise!

IT all came together once I finished my angel-hair pasta...

Topped with a little fresh basil and parmesan cheese....simple, affordable and scrumptious!

This is pretty much a no-fail meal....and I encourage you to give it a try soon.  You totally need to put cheese in the middle of your meatballs.  Umm..Umm..Delish!  Have a great evening.  Thank you for your patience as I bailed the last two days...it shouldn't happen again.  After all, a girl does have to eat!!  Even if it IS alone! :-)
