Shortly before Christmas I made a tomato sauce for the chicken parm we were having for dinner. My idea at the time was that I would make enough sauce for dinner and also for Christmas Eve’s meatballs three ways. Of course I made way too many little meatballs. So I was left with meatballs in tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and a hoisin sauce. Since the meatballs were merely glazed in the sauces I decided I would put them all in the tomato sauce and, voila, I had a dinner.

I heated up my leftover meatballs and sauce and John boiled up some whole grain spaghetti and we ended up with a very tasty, almost-no-work dinner. Plus it didn’t taste like we were eating leftovers. Win-win!
