Two Things Tuesday

Two things about today....

1: It was a HORRIBLY, gloomy, yucky day. The sky was cloudy and overcast all day long. I am not sure if it ever actually RAINED, but it did that nasty "misty" rain all day long. I am fairly certain that kind of precipitation is the worst! It's just annoying! I will be glad when we get back to SPRING weather...hopefully soon!

Here's a silly Asher picture...
he cracks me up...
notice the shoes... hahahahaha!


2: Made porcupine balls for dinner tonight; served on a bed of cabbage!

SUPER YUMMY!

I took pictures of the preparation process to include with the recipe....
if you're interested!

PORCUPINE BALLS ON CABBAGE
*1 head of cabbage (chopped)
*1 lb ground beef
*1 small onion finely chopped
*1 egg
*1 boil-in-a-bag rice bag
*2 cans tomato soup
*1 can water
*Parmesan cheese (if desired)
*seasonings to taste (salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, etc)


-Heat oven to 350 degrees. Boil cabbage for about 5 minutes just until tender- don't over-cook because it will cook more in the oven!


-Drain cabbage & place in bottom of 9X13 baking dish


-Mix ground beef with egg, onions and seasonings. Set aside until rice is cooked.


-Boil the "boil-in-a-bag" rice for 1/2 of the cooking time given in the directions- like the cabbage, it will cook more in the oven! Drain rice, rinse with cold water, then mix with ground beef mixture.

-Form meat mixture into balls and place in the baking dish on top of the cabbage bed.

-Mix 2 cans of tomato soup + 1 can of water in mixing bowl, then pour over the meat and cabbage.

-Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through. Remove from oven, top with Parmesan cheese (if desired) and serve!
