Here’s a good recipe for meatballs.  I adapted it because I didn’t have Italian seasoned bread crumbs, and we really liked the way they turned out.  This recipe makes 12-14 meatballs and feeds 3-5 people, depending on how many meatballs each person eats.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (16-20 ounce) package ground turkey (93% fat-free)
  
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs, OR crushed crackers plus seasonings (I used crushed Ritz crackers and added seasoning:  approx 2/3 t. of oregano, thyme, basil, and 1/2 t. rosemary and 1/8 t. sage plus salt)
• 2 T. olive oil

Mix well.  Form 12-14 large meatballs.  Preheat large skillet on medium with a little olive oil, place meatballs in skillet and cook COVERED for 12-15 minutes, turn and cook 5 more minutes.  Serve over pasta with sauce along with garlic bread and salad.

Meat only, charcoal grill.
#2. Name a food that begins with A.

Arugla came to mind.  Here’s a little info I found:
It’s rich in vitamin C and potasium.

It has a rich, peppery taste.

It’s used in salads, which we know.

It’s also used in pizzas in Italy, which I didn’t know.

A lot of families move during the summer if they’re planning a move.  That way the kids can complete their school year and start the next school year in their new neighborhood.  If a family uses moving companies San Francisco to move their belongings to New York, for example, they want to be assured their belongings will be taken care of.  When a move is planned, people want movers who offer high quality service at a reasonable price.  If you are planning a move, check out California New York Express Movers.  Call to get a free moving quote.

I’m surprised at how much chlorine is in our water. Well, actually I guess I’m not too surprised. We can definitely taste the chlorine in our water which is one of the reasons we’ve been using bottled distilled water.  However, we just purchased a “Pur” water filter so we won’t be buying gallons of water now. There’s no chlorine taste using the filter, and we like the taste of the water so far.

If you’re in the mood to update your bathroom, whether in a big way or in a small way, Delta fauctes are a great way to update your bathroom in a noticeable way.  Everyone notices faucets when they wash their hands, and they can’t help but notice stylish ones as they turn them on and off.   (New kitchen faucets are also a great updating feature!)

• It’s an excellent sunscreen and also an excellent moisturizer.
  
• They use the best quality products at the lowest possible price.  Since they don’t advertise, you get twice as much suncare product for the money.  Now that’s a good deal, and since most people are looking for ways to save money then this is a great way to save on summer expenses.
  
• What really impresses me is that they are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

TIP: If you happen to forget putting on sunscreen and get a really bad sunburn, NO-AD is great to put on for a moisturizer.  If that happens, NO-AD Suntan Lotion with SPF 4 is excellent to help take away the pain of sunburn.
