Yep, my lazy day turned into a not so lazy day... Pens were losing so I went upstairs to the kitchen and made the marinade started to marinate the pork for Tuesday's dinner... I then decided to prep some food for lunches for the week and made the meatballs for dinner tonight... Not to mention I scrubbed the kitchen floors and planted flowers in a few pots.... Oh, and the Pens ended up winning the game! :)
Ok, back to the meatballs... They were not just your ordinary meatball... They were buffalo chicken meatballs any 4 meatballs are only 157 calories! I found the recipe on Pinterest, which ended up bringing me to Shrinking Kitchen for the recipe... Ok I was a little worried they were going to fall apart when I started to make them but they turned out AMAZING!
I ended up making meatball sandwiches with them.... My photo op using the setting sun a the dinner table :)
