Meatball Noodle Soup and Italian Bread




One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to make soup and bread on Sundays. While I realize it is not technically the New Year yet, yesterday was Sunday and I was itching to do this one right away. I raided my cabinets, pantry, and freezer and this is what I came up with. It's cheap, filling, and it makes a ton - just the way I like it!

Happy New Year's Eve!

I hate New Year's Resolutions. I always make them, and somewhere around January 23rd, I'm over it. It doesn't matter how good my intentions were that year, it just never works for me. So, a few years ago, I made a resolution to end all resolutions. Yes, I resolved to never make another resolution, and guess what? It's the only one I have ever stuck to!

Mini Meatballs




Maybe it's because I'm Italian. Maybe it's because I like beef. Maybe it's because unadorned spaghetti is so sad to me. But I love meatballs. Not just a ball of meat, meatballs are like mini meatloaves, with all kinds of yummy good stuff rolled up in them.

Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

We are big hard-boiled egg eaters around here. I buy eggs in two and a half dozen packs and they are gone within a week. Over the years, I have had more than my share of green yolks, sticky shells, and raw centers. But, I'm happy to announce that has all changed. It took dozens and dozens (and dozens!) of eggs and lots of trial and error with several different methods, but I have finally figured out how to make them perfect every single time.
