This week's blog includes a recipe for some pretty darn tasty chicken meatballs that I created last night.  If you saw my leg workout last week than you know I was having some more problems with the herniated discs in my neck. 

Cool as the other side of the pillow.

Yesterday they were particularly painful so after a visit to the chiropractor, I spent the afternoon sleeping on the couch.  In a pillow cocoon safe for sore necks! I woke up at 650 and I needed dinner made by 745.  In a still foggy daze I whipped together some amazing meatballs! They were truly amaze-balls a la Guiliana Rancic.

It's less food than I usually eat in a day...but I was asleep in a medicine induced coma from 3-650.
Now onto the meatballs - I didn't measure anything but threw every "Greek" thing I could think of in a bowl.  Great success.  Try them.  You'll love them. Scouts honor.

Form meat mixture into uniform balls and place on a Pam-sprayed baking pan.

Serve with a simple basil tomato sauce if desired.
