Turkey Bacon Meatballs in Tomato Sauce Recipe

Every fall when it starts cooling off and I’m spending a bit more time in the kitchen, I start looking for more recipes to make. Hearty “stick to your bones” recipes. This recipe and photo have been provided by eMeals. If you’re not familiar with them, let me tell you why I love them and then I’ll share the recipe below.

First of all, eMeals creates my weekly meal plan and shopping list FOR me. Yes. Yes, they do! That way I never get in a rut with dinnertime ideas and I don’t have to stress out about looking to and fro’ for new recipes to add to our menu. If you didn’t know by now, menu planning saves a TON of money! Yes, yes it does! eMeals offers many different meal plan options. You can choose from the classic meal plan, paleo, gluten free, vegan and several more.

They create meals based on foods and produce that are IN season at the time. Because they actually “get” that in season is less expensive than out of season. They also use common ordinary ingredients. Not weird things you’ve never heard of, ha! I chose Walmart as my store to shop from and they prepare my grocery list based on Walmart’s prices. You can opt for Walmart, Kroger, Target, Aldi, Publix, Whole Foods and more!

Their year’s subscription is just $5 per month!! That works out to roughly just $1.25 a week!! That is totally worth the time I don’t have to worry about spending on coming up with a menu plan on my own AND having to work up a grocery list! Love, love LOVE eMeals and I highly recommend using them!
