Homemade Cheesy Chicken Meatball

My kids love these cheesy chicken meatballs. I made extra for my husband when he get home from his game night. These cheesy meatballs could be for meatball subs, meatball sandwiches, meatball pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs.

I used 1 1/2 - 2lbs ground chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, dash red pepper flakes black pepper, Italian seasoning, seasoning sauce. Then mixed with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese, fresh chopped parsley. Shaped to mini meatballs and coated them with seasoned breadcrumbs.

Cooked meatballs in olive oil on each side about 3 to 4 minutes. I laid them on a line paper towel to get rid of the excess oil. I made my pasta sauce.
Couple tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 clove garlic, minced
less than half cup red wine
1 can crushed tomatoes
tomato paste
chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Heated olive oil in the same pan that I cooked my chicken meatballs. I added onions, stirred and cooked for 8 minutes, then added in garlic and cooked for 2 minutes. Added the wine and cooked on high heat for about 4 minutes. Stirred in tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, salt, pepper and other herbs. I added tablespoons of cream, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Then added in meatballs to the sauce, covered and simmered on low heat for half hour. Served with cooked pasta and topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Breaded seasoned cod

Breaded seasoned cod fillet served with homemade hollandaise sauce, homemade mashed potato, steamed broccoli, topped with chopped parsley, lemon wedges. This was easy to make. I don't like to eat fish but my kids and husband do. My husband said he would love it if I made fish more often.

I seasoned 6 cod fillet, both side with a little salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper, soy sauce, drizzled little lemon juice coated with herb bread crumbs. In a large skillet on medium high heat, heated 2 tablespoon olive oil and seared each side for couple minutes and baked in the oven for 10 minutes. While cod was baking, I made hollandaise sauce , steamed broccoli, and made mashed potatoes.

I used wonton pastry stuffed with shredded gouda cheese, shaped as mini springrolls, brushed with a little egg wash and fried them for 2 minutes and served with sweet chili sauce.

Turkey and cheese puzzles sandwiches made with love for my daughter.  I just cut 2 sandwiches into puzzle shapes just using a sharp knife and scissor. She munched everything down.
