The Meatball Sub of Your Dreams
Bold, flavorful meatballs, bathed in a delicious sauce covered in melty cheese all on the perfect hoagie bun…meet the meatball sub of your dreams!
Well, I’m back! I’m not feeling great still, but I am able to hold a little food and water down and I’m out of the hospital. I’m glad that I am starting to feel like regular morning sickness. Who knew that being nauseous all day and throwing up every now and again would be so wonderful! It’s such a blessing to not be as sick and I am anxious to get cooking again.
A great big thank you needs to go out to all of you who have been guest blogging for me. It was not something I could even think about attempting and I really appreciate all of the help. You did wonderful and I am forever grateful!
Ok, so I’m going to post my meatball sub recipe that I made, but it’s actually from months ago. I made this right before I got sick and haven’t been able to stand to look at the picture to do the post until now. But, better late than never right??
This recipe is DELICIOUS. I don’t even usually like meatball subs. Don’t know why. It’s just not my thing I guess. This one is a little different because the meatballs are turkey meatballs, but feel free to do your own if you prefer.
Don’t you just love when cheese oozes out the booty of a sandwich? So yummy!!
