It’s been a long week, and I’ve been very good about eating less carbs, but now it’s the weekend so fuck it! Let’s cut loose a little! For our Friday night weekend kickoff, I made penne with mini meatballs and a side of Italian herb and Parmesan bread. I’ll be perfectly honest here; I’m very good at making meatballs from scratch, but I didn’t this time because I didn’t feel like going to the store and the frozen kind were available for delivery on Amazon Prime Now.

I prefer when something says the whole amount need in the ingredients list rather than list it 3 times (say 1 teaspoon of salt, divided). But those are mostly my preferences.

I do have conflicting pet peeves, actually. I hate when recipes call for an amount of cooked meat, like chicken. I rarely have precooked chicken just sitting around. And without the steps in the recipe, sometimes I find myself half way in and realize I need to cook the darn chicken. BUT another pet peeve is to have a million steps to make something that is just one part of a larger whole that…
