For @Songbird76 and anyone who wants to make. Very delicious!
Easy Baked Turkey Meatballs
Servings: 12 big meatballs
Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean ground turkey (I used half this recipe for two and had leftovers. You could use the whole recipe and freeze leftovers)
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs (I used panic-japanese breadcrumbs)
1//2 cup carrot and 1/4 cup onion (minced in food processor or by hand)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 tablespoon salt (I used around 1/4 tsp. cause I watch my bp)
1 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Put parchment paper or a silicone pad in a large baking sheet.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Shape meat into 2 -tablespoon-sized-balls. Place on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes checking after 30 to see if pink (165 degrees with thermometer). If pink, continue cooking 5 minutes then check. Mine were perfect after 30 mts. Cool and serve. Leftovers may be frozen. Put on baking sheet and freeze. When frozen, put them in a freezer bag. Thaw the night before to reheat next day.

I make my own spaghetti sauce since I watch by sodium. This one is easy and good. I make then, cool and put in freezer bags and freeze up to 6 months.
Spaghetti Sauce :
Ingredients:
2 6 ounce cans no salt added tomato paste
2 cups water
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoon minced garlic cloves in jar
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Put tomato paste in medium saucepan. Whisk in the water, 1 cup at a time. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool or serve immediately.

Hope you enjoy!!
My sauce sounds the same except I use a large can of crushed tomatoes instead of paste.

Can anyone help you clean the house? A family member live by close enough? Double up on the vitamin C.

The house is relatively clean. Just the deep cleaning I've been doing all week is not done yet. But it's down to rooms that can wait. I need to get to the craft store so I can finish my costume for the halloween party though. That cannot wait. And I need to pack, LOL. Last trip to Disney, we were all packed up three weeks out. I feel so disorganized this trip, so I'm just planning on going with the flow. Whatever happens, happens. I'm sure we'll have fun and I'll get another one of those pink donuts, so life will be good!!

Yes, garlic and onion, but here is the trick. You have to cut the garlic and onion, but it needs to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes for the germ and toxin destroying enzymes to work. When you cook it, it should only be sauteed for 5 minutes. Also you can eat fermented food for the good bacteria in the intestines, so that is fermented sauerkraut and kimchi. @figmentfan423 knows all about that. Got me 3 jars of Bubbies Sauerkraut from Wegman's Friday.:)
When anybody is sick I throw onion, garlic, lemon juice and a bit of raw honey in the bullet Make that always garlic sometimes onion and garlic
