Our most recent Sunday dinner featured a wonderful recipe from Vcon - Spaghetti and Beanballs. The beanballs were outstanding, both in taste and texture. I chose to bake them and they held together very nicely. I have a favorite spaghetti sauce I usually make with red wine and a little heat, but knew I wouldn't go wrong making Vcon's easy recipe. I did add carrots to the sauce because I love the texture they add. I served the sauce and beanballs over angel hair pasta.
I made a mango cole slaw to serve with it.
And of course some steamed broccoli and rolls.
Chase was excited to have leftover beanballs, sauce, and rolls for mini sub sandwiches.
I hope to keep up with your blogs and wonderful creations, but now I must take a break from cooking and posting to be with my family and my dad in his final days. I am so very sad.

I am so very, very sorry to hear about your dad. I went through a similar time with my mother last year. If you ever want to chat, please email me at ashafras@yahoo.com. My thoughts are with you and your family.
My thoughts are with you, Diann.
Oh Diann, I am so sorry about your father... I wish there was something I could say to comfort you. I will say a little prayer and light a candle for you and your family and wish him a peaceful passing when the time comes. *HUGS*
I'm sure it won't make you feel at all better, but please know that my prayers are with you and your father at this time.
I hope this time will be as peaceful and loving as possible for you. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I've been looking at that recipe for a while now, so I will have to make it for sure. And isn't steamed broccoli the best side dish for pretty much any main?

Oh, Diann, I am so sorry! I will be thinking of you!

Diann,
Your mango coleslaw sounds like a great idea. This morning we enjoyed a perfect mango in our cereal for breakfast...it felt like we were in Paradise and should be swinging in a hammock eating all of the Caribbean fruits we can get!
We are so very sad about your Dad. We are definitely praying for him. Just remember all of the great memories you had with your Dad, and know that he will be with you in spirit.
Praying for you and your Dad, LK
Diann, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope you and your family find some peace. Your dad is surrounded by those that he loves and that love him, which I'm sure is comforting. Take care, you are in my thoughts.
I'm saddened to hear about your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

The beanballs & spaghetti dish, paired with the mango coleslaw and broccoli, make for a delicious, satisfying meal.
As I have said since the beginning, you and your family are in my deepest thoughts and prayers - stay strong, Diann.
mmm... bean balls sound and look amazing!
I have been thinking about a meatball (well meat-free ball) to add to spaghetti! This looks great!
I have to get this book!
