Meatballs & Bundles

Monday and Tuesday night we had freezer swap meals for dinner. They were both delicious. Monday we ate Salsa Meatballs over rice (I have requested the recipe) and Tuesday we ate Garlic Chicken Bundles (recipe below). Everyone (including Bob) enjoyed both meals. While I go to a lot of work to prepare the meals for the freezer swap it is worth it because I get such fabulous meals back. I sure hope my meals measure up in the eyes of my fellow swappers. As soon as I get the Salsa Meatballs recipe I will post the recipe (I sure hope I get that recipe, I will be VERY sad if I don't.)
