Mama's Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs

Who doesn't love a Saturday night meal of good ol' spaghetti and meatballs? The secret to the sauce lies in the flavorful meatballs made with 3 kinds of meat.

Combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, onion, pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt in the slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine the beef, veal, pork, egg, bread crumbs and Parmesan; form into balls.

Fruit-and-Nut Roll

Raisins, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and honey cuddle up in a rich, buttery pastry roll. Good served with coffee and covered in berries and whipped cream.

Serves 4

11/2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

In a bowl, cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, then stir in sugar.

Create well in the center, add the egg yolks and stir to form a paste.

Stir in the salt, cinnamon and water and form into a ball.

Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

On a floured work surface, roll out the refrigerated pastry into rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick.

Spread the honey on top, then sprinkle with raisins, almonds, pecans and walnuts.

Beginning at the long end, carefully roll up the pastry; shape the log into a wreath to fit into a 6-cup round baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray.

Set the dish in the slow cooker, and cook on HIGH for 3 or 4 hours, or until golden brown.
