FYI – I only used 1 Tbsp of Italian seasoning in the butter for garlic bread.

meatballs were great and tons of sauce so perfect to add pasta.
i was out of town when JR had the sloppy joe’s and he said he ate them as though he was in a “sloppy joe eating contest.”
so they were good! 
pork tenderloin with mango salsa was really good. it was nice to have a new taste rather than just the same ‘ol same ‘ol. nice combo.

We had the pork with the mango salsa- really good flavor and seems easy enough to make again. Like Kristine said, nice change.
The Potato Leek Soup was really yummy. I added asparagus the second day to the leftovers, it was great.
As always the potato, sausage and pepper dinner was great. Loved Everett’s Italian sausage again.
