French Onion Meatballs

Both girls insisted on pants this morning, and that made sense, since it was about 48 degrees at 7am today!

And I had avocado toast for breakfast for the first time in forever, and it was so delicious and I’m gonna be back on this kick again now, I can just feel it.

When I picked the girls up from school, they asked what was the plan and what was for dinner, as always. So I told them I had dinner in the crockpot already and just had to make some instant mashed potatoes to go with it… Well Addie has been doing this thing lately where no matter what the plan actually is, she freaks out and wants to do the opposite. If I say we’re going out, she just wants to eat at home, and if I say I’m cooking, she only wants to go out. And tonight she did that same little routine, and had a fit about the meatballs I told her I’d made. But what always happens, is she ends up loving what I’ve made and saying it’s “her best meal ever.” And that’s exactly what happened tonight too. So we took a video of her talking about it, to show & remind her in the future.

I kinda made up a recipe for like, French onion meatballs and gravy, and it turned out very flavorful and delicious. Served over mashed potatoes topped with a little cheese, and lima beans on the side, and it was so yummy. And both girls totally loved it and had seconds!

 

 

 

Emerson and I ate very quickly, I threw the leftovers into some containers, and left Jeff to clean up the rest while I took Emmie to gymnastics. I finished a book and she had a great class. And then at bedtime, she finished up her assigned chapters for school, and settled down to sleep.
