cooking

sunday family dinner

 meatball hoagies with sauteed peppers and onions, veggie salad, strawberries,  cantaloupe, & grapes
wild maine blueberry crisp with vanilla & coffee ice cream

i used the premade meatballs and torpedo (hoagie) rolls. i defrosted the meatballs in the microwave and then put them in a pot of jar sauce to heat up.  right before serving, i filled each rolls with meatballs, some sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. i lined them up in a casserole dish and popped them in the oven to melt the cheese and crisp the roll a bit.  oh, and i gave it a shake of parmesan cheese too.  i sauteed the peppers and onions and served them on the side.
