Italian Wedding Soup is one dish I could not give up. It has to be the flavor packed tiny meatballs….no actually it’s the fresh spinach leaves and miniature pasta all bathing in wonderful homemade chicken broth…oh wait I’m certain it’s the final swirl of egg and salty Parmesan cheese that makes this soup near the top of my comfort food list.

I’m not sure how it happened but Spaghetti and Meatballs has become an absolute favorite meal for me. And really, it’s all about the meatballs. I like them big and soft and full of Italian flavors like garlic, basil and oregano.

I always add carrots, onion and green peas but sometimes I also add zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, or even bacon.

Does anyone else buy boxes of “Little Bites” muffins for their kids (big or small)?? I can’t believe I’m admitting it – not because I’m a packaged food snob, but because muffins are so darn easy to make at home! This recipe yields 4 dozen Double Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins!!

Happy National Muffin Day!
I set a calendar reminder for this food holiday because I knew it would be an opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Ella, my fun-loving, bright, kind and witty bonus-daughter who can hold her own in the kitchen. She’s 11. She’s a natural. And she makes banana bread like nobody’s business!!
