Award winning Oreo dessert

Sure it was only against one other dessert and the prize was a $15 gift card to the Olive Garden. But never the less an award is an award ;p

This is one of the simplest desserts I know to make, there is no baking necessary and only mixing stuff up!

Meatballs: take 2, 3 and 4

The second time I wanted to try a new type of bread, and the third time is just more bread. I did that to see how it would affect the meatballs. More bread made it taste better, and I didn't notice much difference when I changed the bread type. And finally the third time is cooking the meatballs in  tomato sauce (red sauce).
Take 2: new type of bread (larger white spots in the meatballs because I didn't mix them that well).
Take 3: more bread :) You can tell by a slight change in the color of the meatballs.
Take 4: cooked in red sauce! I added some cheese to add some flavor and because I like cheese :)

Experiment: Meatballs :)

I have always thought that meatballs were a lot of work to do and the fact that there are many ways of doing them. It was not until a certain Italian postdoc brought some homemade meatballs and told me that it is simple to make. One thing that I did not know (because my only source of knowledge at the time is from reading restaurant menus) is that the only meat that is supposed to go in the meatballs is ground beef only. Apparently restaurants mix meats to increase their profit.
