Get your workout on!

Real quick... YouTube has some good workouts and they are free so you can mix up your workouts as you feel the need to.

I found one that is 10 minutes focused on the abs.  This is a major problem area for me.  I carry all my weight in my stomach and to make matters worse; I have had three major surgeries that have cut open my abdomen so it's hard find workouts that are gentle enough but also work those muscles.   Click the link below if you are interested.  Good thing it's 10 minutes so it doesn't take up much time.  I even used my smart phone, set it the couch and was able to follow the workout.

Best meatballs I have ever made...

Happy Memorial Weekend... Thank you to all who have served to protect our GREAT country...

Now on to food, my favorite topic.  I found this great blog with many exciting recipes,   http://www.kayotic.nl/blog/.  More specifically I found a recipe for Mahogany Meatballs.  I followed the recipe loosely by using all the same ingredients but I put the sauce in the crock pot with the uncooked meatballs and set on low for two hours.  They were perfect.  I personally I am not a huge fan of cooking my meatballs first then adding them to the sauce.  To me the meatballs absorb the flavor of the sauce a bit more if they cook in the sauce.  Also, this recipe calls for a small amount of apple cider vinegar.  I seem to think this is the key for juicy and tender meat.  (Maybe some of you more experienced cooks have already noticed this)...
