My first real food dilemma. Need help !!

 Get the long links of Italian sausage and slice it.   I"m pretty sure Sam's or Costco has some, and your local grocery stores should definitely sell it.   I know that Johnsonville even makes Italian sausage....meat markets, etc. should carry.   Dang - I've got a ton in my freezer right now, LOL!

Have you heard of or tried the shirataki noodles yet?  You could make a bag for yourself and others and then load up on the meatbals & sauce.  They're made from a soluble fiber from a plant root.  You just rinse them - VERY well, from what I have heard from a couple others.  Julie R. uses them routinely.  Some people have not liked them and they're kind of pricey compared to pasta.  I just got a bag to try at a whole foods store for $2.19.  It would feed me twice with meatballs and sauce.  I think if you rinse them well - helps to get ride of a "peculiar" taste that some people don't like - then cover them in sauce, you probably would like them just fine.

Hi Lisey,

No I've not tried them.  I would have to try them ahead of time as I learned NEVER to try anything for the first time in public!!

I am also worried about the spaghetti sauce they are making and will try to eat as little of that as possible with my meatballs.

I'm going to have a great time and not worry too much about food.  I'll pack a ton of stuff in a cooler that I can eat.  I won't go hungry!! lol.

 Hi Sorry I didn't get back to you until now.  You can use any m,eat you like my mom uses a mixture of sausage and ground beef.  They can be frozen, and heat up nicely.  You can use any thing as a sub for the bread crumb.
