Lunchtime Leftovers

Leftovers, mmmm. Some foods are just better as leftovers, meat loaf for example. Yes the food that ever reminds me of the fat rocker from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. My wife and I actually prefer meat loaf the next day, the food not the rocker. The recipe is of my own concoction, but it is loosely based off my grandmother's recipe that I will never be able to replicate. Hell, I even use the cast iron skillet to cook it in. One spin I like to put on it is that I throw the skillet and all on the grill and cook it over indirect heat. That smokiness is damn good IMO.

Actually, that isn't what I had for lunch today. I had leftover spaghetti and meatballs, but the recipe for the meatballs was a slight variation of my meat loaf recipe. Basically I subbed italian bread crumbs for the crushed saltines that the meat loaf recipe requires, and ta-da! Meatballs. I rolled'em up and cooked them in the skillet on the grill (of course). Then after I cooked them and let them set up I brought the heat back up by braising them a bit in the green olive marinara I made from scratch. Packed them all in some tupps and took them to work.

Did I mention that they were turkey meatballs? Yeh, it was my first time too.
