11-24 Meatball sandwiches

I was craving a good meatball sandwich the other day and this is the result. I thought they were so tasty and you get veggies too! I am sure you could add thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash, if you like eggplant, that could be good, too.

Sauté
1 carrot shredded
1/2 colored bell pepper chopped or thinly sliced
olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
When softened, add:
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can tomato sauce
1 generous T Italian seasoning
8-10 sliced Italian meatballs, thawed (homemade or store bought)
Allow to simmer until heated thoroughly.
Scoop onto toasted Rosemary bread or whatever you have on hand

Bri & EB felt like they were too messy and hard to eat so they invented the meatball sandwich salad - which basically is the filling with a slice of toasted bread "ripped up like croutons" on top and "stirred up" then you can eat it with a fork. I had that for lunch the next day.

Nicola's Fisk

Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked! [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.] Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide. Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese. {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent] Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Now that it is officially Fall, it's time for pumpkin cookies again :) Dad's pumpkin cookies are delicious. Best way to describe the difference between them is that these are more spice than pumpkin. I like them both but sometimes prefer this spice version. I don't like using prepared pumpkin pie spice, it seems to change the flavor for me (I wonder if it's the amount of cloves?). This recipe hits the spice just right but of course alter as you like, it can take even handle more or less chocolate chips in it, or none at all.
