It has been quite a while since I have posted a recipe! Lately, I have not gotten to cook nearly as much as I want. Tonight, I'll post a recipe from a few days ago as well as one from tonight.
We wanted swedish meatballs, so we tried this recipe because it had good reviews:

I really don't understand the hype behind the reviews. It was very bland. We started with that recipe as a base and then added a little garlic powder, crushed red peppers, about 2 tsp of worchestershire sauce, and extra salt and pepper. I also added some freshly chopped parsley to the egg noodles. The cooking time for the meatballs was also very "off". Mine took much longer than that, and I had to put them in the oven to finish them off. After those adjustments, it was delicious. Here are some pictures.

| The sauce. Mine was a little chunky, so I ran it through the blender. Be careful putting hot liquids in a blender, though. It can expand and explode everywhere. |

We made far too much though and had leftovers for three nights. Not a bad problem to have ;)
