If you’re a fan of popcorn like I am, you know how tempting it is to snack on that perfect, crunchy bite—especially when it’s flavored just right! There’s a local brand of flavored popcorn I’ve been obsessed with, but there’s one problem: it’s often sold out, and I have to wait weeks for it to be restocked.  

That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own version at home!

Recipe: The best Italian meatballs https://livingwithdana.com/2024/09/recipe-the-best-italian-meatballs/ Wed, 04 Sep 2024 23:45:37 +0000 https://livingwithdana.com/?p=6292 Recipe: The best Italian meatballs

This is an awesome recipe for weeknight family meals. I started making the meatballs around 1 p.m. and the family was eating them at 5 p.m. They are easy to put together and so delicious! They can be used with pasta or for meatball sandwiches. When I make meatball subs I like to use uncut rolls so that I can cut a wedge of bread from the top of the roll. I sprinkle mozzarella cheese in the hollowed sub and toast it before adding meatballs, sauce, more cheese and toasting again.
