Chicken Meatballs and Spaghetti #SundaySupper

What comes to mind when you hear the term, “Budget Friendly Dishes”? Discount produce? Reworked leftovers?
What’s great about budget-friendly meals is that you can do something like cook a large chicken or turkey and make many meals. You can choose tougher cuts of meat, which are usually less expensive and make wonderful soups and stews.
Smart buying when items are in season, bulk buying and making your own sauces are great ways to save.
How about a wholesome pasta meal with a less expensive protein. Chicken Meatballs and spaghetti fit the bill nicely. Fresh tomato sauce rounds out the flavor.

This budget friendly dishes event is co-hosted by T.R. of Gluten Free Crumbley and David of Cooking Chat. Thanks guys!
