Not much cooking

Lately, I’ve been in a food funk. Not sure why, but all the pretty food in the kitchen has not been inspiring me. Instead, village inn, Denny’s and various other places have been filling my belly. I won’t go too deep, but there’s trouble brewing at home. Not so much with the mister, but in other places. Having to deal with that and some of the hormone surges associated with rapid weight loss has just let me…eh. I still like to flip through my cooking mag’s and I have been feeling the inspiration…sort of. So perhaps in the next few weeks, I will get back into the swing of things. First though…I must go shopping. When the light shines down through the racks in the fridge, you know it’s bare. That and the condiments outnumber the fresh food.

Never a good sign.

Meatballs

Scrolling through some of my favorite blogs, i came across a recipe for meatballs. Normally, this would not excite me, since i know how to make meatballs, but since the surgery, i can't cook them the way that I'm used to, which is frying them up. I needed a new way to make them and this recipe was like a beacon in the dark. The only real change i made to it was adding some sliced string cheese in the middle so it was like molten meatballs. the hubby loved it and i found it nicely filling.
 

Instead of the regular white pasta, I used whole wheat linguine and some canned tomatoes. I wasn't in the mood for really cooking, especially since the hubby had some friends coming over. But, this was a tasty meal and I got about half of what you see down. The meatballs i must say were the best part.
