Rainy Days on Monday's Don't Always Get Me Down.

Past Monday's have given me the blahs. I know they do for a lot of folks. Let's face it, the weekend is over. And oh, how glorious it was sleeping in, having a laid-back breakfast, no specific plans, and hey just doing what YOU want.

But today, I am thankful, just downright grateful to have a Monday. The rain was beautiful, and we did need it. I even made meatballs for dinner.

I made the meatballs from leftover meat last night. I used about 8 oz. of chicken thighs and about 4 oz. of leftover steak. I also added about 1 Tbsp. of cumin, about 2 slices of fresh ginger, and 1 tsp. of dried oregano. I cooked them on 350 degrees for about 30 minutes and then the last 15 minutes I added barbeque sauce on top.

What else am I am grateful for today? MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!!! Bears and Pats will battle it out. Although, I think we all know who will likely win. Who knows the Bears might get lucky!
