Father's Day

Father's Day

How do I even begin? My dad is the sweetest man alive on earth. He's also, my biggest fan. When something is going on in my life, he's the one that builds me up. When I was single, I had this break up with a guy. He told me, "True Love Conquers All", if it is meant to be, he will come back. Over the years I've thought about that. Sometimes, I would go no, but then he's right. If you truly love someone and your committed to them, then there's nothing that can separate the two of you. He also, told me whoever I end up with will be the luckiest man. I love my dad. He's AWESOME!!!

He's the kind of father, that has unconditional love and is always there for me and my sister, and even his grandchildren.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in the world!

As you know, I haven't been posting everyday. There has been a lot of changes in my life lately. So, I'm in the process of revamping my blog and in the test kitchen, coming up with some new recipes.

This summer, we'll have some grill recipes, canning (I love to can - its my therapy), a watermelon salad to die for. Plus, quick and simple working girl/boy meals.

Be sure to check back in soon. Also, I would like to thank all of my followers, I'm up to 65 different countries and that excites me!!!

1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt and black pepper

Mix all ingredients together, except feta cheese. Mix it well and form into about 2"x2" balls. Add olive oil to casserole dish.

Press down about 1 tablespoon of feta cheese on top. Add water and cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

I served mine with purple hull peas and boiled okra. I could live on purple hull peas, boiled okra and tomatoes. One of my favorite meals. Plus, throw in some green onions. YUMMY to my TUMMY! This big fat meatballs turned out tasty. Its like a meal in one with all the veggies inside of them.

I know when I said Italian week, you were expecting pasta, but I took a different spin on things. I love to be able to make two to three meals with leftover ingredients.
