..........continued from Picture Frame Marriage

{Side Note}  Before I lost my insurance I came across this neat, FREE tool to use to track your exercise, food and weight goals through Blue Cross Blue Shield - it helps!  The meal plans are great because they are realistic.  Sooooo for dinner...I visited Food Network to find the perfect Turkey/sweet italian sausage meatball and spaghetti recipe.  Well I didnt actually find it but I did find Ina Gartners Real Meatball and Spagahetti recipe.
