Meatballs with spaghetti





It’s not because I don’t cook, it’s because I hate writing so much that I am irregular in blogging. I had my pictures taken of other foods, didn’t like it that much, so ended up not writing about the food either.  Today we had wonderful dinner! Me and my son enjoyed spaghetti with meat balls. They were very delicious with the home made sauce!!  I really don’t need to explain what the food is! Yeah you can make the sandwich with the meatballs or either eat with spaghetti. Those who don't eat beef you can either make it with ground turkey or chicken.......
