Sometimes you just feel like a meatball.
Especially when your boyfriend is out of town and especially when you have enough food in your freezer to feed a small country.
Bring on the sweatpants!

Robyn @ New Every Morning
January 7, 2011 at 1:16 pm“Bring on the sweatpants” reminded me of the Friends episode where Joey wore Rachel’s maternity pants when he vowed to eat a whole turkey by himself. 😛

January 7, 2011 at 1:16 pmCan you believe I have never actually had spaghetti and meatballs!! I think this may have to change.

January 7, 2011 at 1:20 pmYou must be reading my mind. My weekend menu plan has me tackling my great Aunt’s spaghetti and meatballs recipe. It will likely fill my freezer with enough food for twenty people. Nom.

Jackie
January 7, 2011 at 1:40 pmIf you have room in your belly, we have tons of leftovers in our fridge. My brother’s birthday party is tonight and my Grandma’s 80th birthday is tomorrow, so we won’t have time to eat them.

jen @ taste life
January 7, 2011 at 2:11 pmHmmm…my dinner of choice when the man is out of town is probably chocolate chip pancakes, but you rock your meatballs!

mary (what's cookin' with mary)
January 7, 2011 at 2:38 pmI just got back from my first dim sum experience and am now in my elastic waist sweatpants 😉
My freezer looks just like yours ! Never know when you’ll need frozen spinach, chicken tenders, 5 types of raw nuts, indiv containers of cooked quinoa and brown rice, TJ’s veggie potstickers (and the list goes on), right?!
Katie @ peacebeme
January 7, 2011 at 2:38 pmOh yum! I cannot tell you how much I have been craving spaghetti lately!
Nicole
January 7, 2011 at 2:44 pmI was just thinking of ordering meatballs from the Italian restaurant I live on top of! I can smell them so strongly right now, and tonight, they are totally calling my name:)
jenna
January 7, 2011 at 3:09 pmoh to live on top of a meatball factory!! My life dream!
Heather
January 7, 2011 at 2:46 pmIf you are ever in NYC, you need to go to the Meatball Shop down in the Lower East Side. You will never be the same.
Katie
January 7, 2011 at 2:53 pmThere’s never a bad time for a meatball! Or for sweatpants. 🙂

January 7, 2011 at 3:04 pmFriday night, at home, in sweatpants, eating meatballs…just make sure you have the wine cued up, too! Sounds like a great nite 🙂

January 7, 2011 at 4:17 pmJenna, how do you select meats? I don’t have a Whole Foods or access to locally-raised goods. All I have is the local grocery chain. So, how do you decide what meats to select when there seems to be conflicting information on the best kinds, cuts, and sources? I really need to start eating more meat (at least twice a week).
jenna
January 7, 2011 at 4:20 pmI usually try to buy organic meat and look for grass fed, free-range beef! I buy most everything from Trader Joe’s and rarely go to Whole Foods..just because it’s too expensive.
Jen
January 8, 2011 at 6:34 amThey only sell grain-fed meat around my small town and not organic. Is this good or not? I really don’t have much choice. I try to choose the cuts that are marked as free from antibiotics. But they still say grain-fed.
Juniper
January 8, 2011 at 10:40 amAll of the chicken, turkey, and meat I buy are “Grain-Fed”. I was told that was perfectly acceptable given those are my options, so I continue to buy them.
There are some “stewing beef” selections that are simply labelled “organic” that I might try in addition. They have no nutritional label on them, so I’m not sure. But I might just try different things anyway. I have to go with what is available to me, because I eat an abundance of it.

January 7, 2011 at 5:12 pmI’m curious what that piece of dough (?) will turn into…
Amber K
January 7, 2011 at 5:16 pmI never would have thought to be put green superfood in the freezer! While I don’t eat meat, I am definitely thinking “bring on the sweatpants” tonight. 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin
January 7, 2011 at 5:35 pmI kind of wish I could stay in tonight and eat meatballs instead of going out to the bar with the girls! 😛

January 7, 2011 at 5:53 pmI’m all about friday night sweatpant nights! Sounds like my weekends!
Nora@LifeLifeEatRight
January 7, 2011 at 6:08 pmFor a second I thought, “How did a picture of my freezer get here?!?!” I only cook for one so every time I make a meal for 6, cookie or muffin, I freeze it. This happens often so my tupper ware and plastic baggies are out of control. I try to reduce it by eating leftovers for lunch, but it just keeps piling up. I need a “spring cleaning” commitment.
Lacey @ Lake Life
January 7, 2011 at 7:55 pmHow do you keep track of everything that’s in your freezer? Do you label your stuff?
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
January 7, 2011 at 9:06 pmmm yummy comfort food! i’m all about spending friday night in my sweatpants 🙂
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog)
January 8, 2011 at 1:37 amOh, yes! Something about meatballs and pasta is very comforting. Just the smell of it cooking is soothing to me. 🙂
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down)
January 8, 2011 at 5:09 amI love a good bowl of meatballs. In my mind, the perfect meal would be a big ol’ bowl of them with a side of hot garlic bread for dipping. Pasta optional. 😀
Maria
January 8, 2011 at 5:29 amSounds amazing!
