Mini Meatball Sandwiches

I've made my menu for the next 21 days and I'm trying a bunch of new recipes from the Pioneer Woman website they pretty much look awesome! This is the first one from her site. It was a HUGE hit in my house. Everyone ate it, there was no complaining. Jake even asked if he could have another sam-isch :)  (My first day was a turkey tenderloin, baked potatoes and broccoli. 2nd was waffles and bacon.) I served this with Cheetos, cucumbers and grapes.

And on a side note Jake and I returned $45.90 worth of pop cans today!!!! Ummm yeah that is 918 cans/bottles. I don't think we have taken cans back for about a year now. It took up the entire back of my car. Like I had to put the seats down. It took us 2 hours at two different stores. CRAZY! Jake was a perfect angel. So I bought him an entire bag of Cheetos, and told him he didn't have to share! :) He was however very gracious and gave everyone a great big handful at dinner, all while telling Jocee  "I didn't have to share, but I am, 'cause its nice." I love it:)
