SO dinner was a great success! My sauce came out absolutely delicious! Along with the meatballs and bruschetta!
While I was at kohls today-- I bought a new food processor/blender thing with a gift card which really helped me make the sauce. I processed an entire carrot, green pepper, zucchini, 10 mushrooms, 1 whole onion, and 4 garlic cloves really finde-- so the sauce was very smooth but you get the flavor and the nutrients from all the vegetables! Meatballs were turkey meatballs with italian bread crumbs. And the bruschetta was my favorite! I just used my organic white bread because I did not want it to go to waste. I cut 2 pieces in halves then toasted them with fresh sliced mozzarella pearls. In the bruschetta mix is diced roma tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Also, this entire meal was about $2.50 per person. This shows you that you CAN cook a healthy meal on a budget-- and not have to sacrifice taste!
