Yesterday afternoon I began cooking.

I first cooked the pound of homemade meatballs pan frying them to crust up and then dropped in the sauce to simmer for another 90 minutes. I also did the 3 large Italian sweet homemade sausage I bought at Sprouts after the meatballs to crust them. One exploded and made a mess but I dropped it in the sauce anyway.

Put it all in two freezer bags for Sunday night.

Next I made my famous 5 bean Mexican cold salad.
Pinto, Black, Garbanzo, Canellini, and Light Red Kidney beans, a can of sweet corn, 1 Red 1 yellow 1 orange pepper all sliced into 1/4" squares, about 10 large radishes diced into 1/8" cubes, 1 large red onion diced, 2 serrano peppers cut into very small diced pieces for heat, 1 large cucumber peeled and seeded cut into nice 1/4" squares like the peppers.
Then the spices of garlic powder, minced up cilantro, salt, pepper.
The dressing is extra virgin olive oil and LOTS of lime juice. Then I take the remaining 1/4 bunch of Cilantro and toss the whole leaves only as garnish and extra flavor. It is in a giant tub in the fridge getting cold and flavored.
