This week’s meals were all SO GOOD! They are definitely all going to be made in my kitchen again. I hope you enjoy this What’s for Dinner video and it gives you some dinner inspiration!
**All of my kitchen favorites (including that chopper I use) are in my Amazon store** :

***OUR MOST ASKED QUESTIONS ANSWERED***
Q: Does Steven ever not like anything? 😂
A: Of course!! First of all, we have been married for 19 years and I was not always good in the kitchen. In fact, I was a pretty terrible cook for the first 12 years or so. So there were plenty of times when neither of us liked what I made. But I’ve gotten better at picking out meals that I’m pretty sure we will enjoy. I don’t just go pick a recipe and cook it. I read through it and research different variations before I deem it a good one to try.
Secondly, if we were to not like something I would NOT show it here. Solely because I want to share only recipes that we would recommend. I don’t want to waste your time, or my time (editing) on a recipe we would never tell anyone else to try. We’ve only had that happen twice – and I got rid of the footage we had filmed (which was so sad because we took time to film it).
I hope that answers that question! Remember also that we only film 3 meals a week. The rest of the time we have our family favs or go out to dinner.
Q: Where did you get your chopping block/ cutting board?
A: Our friends gave it to us as a Christmas gift. 🙂 They had a friend who made them, so it’s not something that I can link to as it was handmade.
Q: You made a (insert recipe name here) one time, how do I find that video again?
A: Type in the YouTube search bar – “Mandy in the Making (recipe name)” and it should bring up the video where I made it. Click the video and then check that video’s description box for the recipe. I tag all of my videos with the name of the recipes included so they are easily found. Hope this helps!

Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well combined and no lumps. Reduce heat to low and just keep warm until meatballs are done cooking.
Once the meatballs are no longer pink, cover them in the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
