Homemade Meatballs

I almost fainted last night. When I put my first ever homemade meatball into my mouth, that is!

Recipe picture... you just smash it all by hand!

I found it here on Pinterest. It looked to me like one those trashy, fake recipes that never really work or tastes really odd (for some reason Pinterest has a lot of those). But not this one, oh no! Not only did it make only 1 pound of ground beef go really far, but it was relatively quick to prepare as long as the ingredients are on hand!

I had one problem though. Either 30 minutes on 350 is too long, or I need to cook them on parchment paper or spray the tray. I had to pry them off with a fork and scrape the pan. I should know better, right? (oh look, the recipe picture has parchment paper in it...) What would you do? 

Here it is:

Incredible Baked Meatballs. 
1lb hamburger, 2 eggs, beaten with 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan , 1 cup panko or bread crumbs, 1 small onion, minced, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper to taste, 1/4 cup minced fresh basil.

 Mix all ingredients with hands. Form into golfball sized meatballs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

My tuna salad

I have always loved tuna salad and have been perfecting my tuna salad recipe for at least 10 years! Probably more! 

my nasty condiment jars

What makes this recipe perfect (for me) is the amounts, which I haven't measured out. Sorry. So I'll guess!

Ingredients:

1 can chunk light tuna

miracle whip light 3 TB

sweet pickle relish 1-2 TB

lemon juice, 1 or 2 long squirts

onion powder, 3 or 4 shakes

garlic salt, 1 or 2 shakes

tabasco sauce, 3 drops (or more!) (You can barely taste it)

I just drain the tuna and add the ingredients in the order shown above! I like it most on crackers, like wheat ritz.

This was also the quick version. If I want it really good, I would add chopped apples or celery, or try it with hardboiled eggs. I've heard of people using curry powder, but I'm a cheapo and that stuff is way too expensive per ounce. 

How do you eat your tuna salad?
