Last week was such an awesome week.
On Monday, I took my brother to the VA hospital to see his doctor and it was a chance to see a friend of mine who moved from my hometown in Kansas to Phoenix.
The doctors I work for hosted their open house and it was an amazing success. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw this gem.
We also went live with nuclear medicine.
It was a VERY long but GOOD week. It was 50+ hours at work but it was worth it to see everything go off without a hitch. Yay!
Of course, no weekend is complete without some good old fashioned comfort food. I made spinach meatballs that I simmered in Ragu and served over spaghetti.
I've been trying to get more veggies into our diets and why not put spinach in a meatball? It came out DELISH.
They're super easy to make.
And they taste INCREDIBLE.
