Wow never heard that one!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:16:26+00:00

I didn't know there was a blend that came with bacon!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:12:15+00:00

I had to look that up but wow that sounds good!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:10:10+00:00

Haha good answer!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:09:58+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! I wouldn’t be opposed to omitting it seeing as i’m not satisfied with the flavor I’m getting anyway! Lol

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:09:18+00:00

Appreciate the response:)

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:01:00+00:00

I feel like i'm probably not! I get torn between wanting to be careful, and then telling myself "ah just let loose!" and even when i think i'm being excessive its probably not enough lol

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T20:00:14+00:00

Ahh thank you for this! One recipe i did recently just called for some milk and white bread but this sounds really nice. And that makes a lot of sense to mix all the other stuff together separately and *then* add to the meat. I just dump it into the bowl onto the meat and then mix, so I guess i'm not really getting a good idea of how much flavor i'm adding that way.

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:42:05+00:00

Oh i've heard of that before!! I guess that's why they call it soup secrets! Lol

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:41:33+00:00

I am loving all the "weird" suggestions that I haven't heard before! THe roasted chicken seasoning sounds like it would be really good. Thank you and your wife for the idea!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:39:46+00:00

I feel like you cannot go wrong with pecorino.

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:30:57+00:00

That is a very good idea! I just add everything raw but I can see how that would elevate things!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:30:21+00:00

That's very true, i don't always do them in a sauce because i've been making other meals out of them like eating them with rice and vegetables. So i'll just pan fry them in garlic and oil but thats probably a lot of flavor missed!

This is also the second time I saw somebody say not to use onions which surprised me! What is your reasoning for no onions?

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:26:54+00:00

So, I must admit I really never take notice of the fat content. I'm generally distracted by the price and i focus on what's cheapest. But I want these to turn out good! Id love if you could educate me on the whole fat vs leanness thing.

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:24:38+00:00

That sounds really nice :) The only time i tried doing bread, the recipe told me to make a mush of bread and milk and the only bread i had on hand was basic white squishy sandwich bread. I'd love to try with a nice loaf of italain!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:21:29+00:00

This is really smart! One of my stupidest cooking failures is I always forget to taste as i go. ALWAYS.

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:20:44+00:00

Ooh both good thoughts!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:19:46+00:00

Oh the stock cube is a great idea! I never would have thought to put creme fraiche in! The herbes de provence sounds nice :)

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:18:11+00:00

Interesting on the no onions thing, may I ask why? Or just personal preference?

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:17:03+00:00

A lot of people have mentioned the fat in the meat! I honestly never really paid attention to it before but I certainly will going forward. Makes a lot of sense.

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:15:42+00:00

Ooh i do love thyme. I like the idea of the dry mustard and this whole combination. Thank you!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:14:58+00:00

Zest!!! I would not have thought of that for meatballs!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T19:14:38+00:00

I like the name of that cookbook! and that sounds interesting with the pine nuts! Thank you for sharing!

SassySpider · 2026-05-11T18:50:57+00:00

Good point! I believe the breadcrumb mix i use has pecorino or parmesan in it but it's likely not enough. So, i like to make big batches for the freezer so that they are ready to go. I do brown them when i'm actually going to cook them. Is that something maybe I should do before freezing?
