With spaghetti and meatballs in mind, she invented an exciting new dish that is sure to impress all of her dinner guests. She used three pounds of ground beef to create one giant meatball stuffed with mouthwatering angel hair pasta, all covered in a homemade marinara sauce bursting with flavor. The secret is, it’s actually very easy to make. From prep time all the way to serving it, it’s all very simple with her quick demonstration.
She rounds up all the necessary ingredients to begin the pasta and sauce: angel hair pasta, extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, basil, basil leaves, salt, crushed red pepper and dried oregano. Once cooked all together, it’s set aside to be used in just a minute.
Her giant meatball is made up of 3 pounds of ground beef, 80% lean and the following ingredients: yellow onion, chopped fresh parsley, crushed garlic, eggs, plain seltzer, salt, Italian breadcrumbs, pecorino romano cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan for garnish. Once she presses a third of the meat mixture along the inside of the bowl, it’s ready to be stuffed with pasta, covered with the remaining meat, cooked, and finally poured with the marinara sauce. The finished product is simply stunning.
Her muffin recipe is shockingly easy with only three ingredients total, yet tastes like it’s from a decadent bakery. She wanted her breakfast to be sweet but also healthy, so she discovered this recipe which serves as both. She gets vitamins and protein packed into each individual muffin, creating a healthy breakfast for both her and the family. What’s great about it is that they are sweet enough to be a dessert as well. Can you guess which three ingredients they are?
She uses berries, bananas, and eggs – that’s all. No one would be able to tell how simple they truly are when taking a bite of one of her delectable muffins. Here is how she does it: she mashes two bananas in a large bowl, then whisks in four eggs until blended well. Next, she brings out her muffin tin and drops in a few berries in each container. Pouring her mixture over the berries, she already prepare the muffins to bake.
Since the muffin mixture contains no flour whatsoever, they only take 12 minutes to bake. Once fully cooked, they are ready to be enjoyed. The fruits contain essential vitamins, and the eggs provide the proteins for a wonderfully healthy breakfast.
Newly-weds Matt and Abby came up with a brilliant way to stop their relatives from questioning them about when they intended to have a baby. They decided to arrange a sentimental photo session with their young puppy, Humphrey. Take a look at the results — we think it turned out brilliantly!
The idea came to photographer Elisha Minnette when they went to pick the puppy up from a shelter.
During the session, the couple posed for all the kinds of shots which young parents do often take when photographing their newborn baby…
’Abby and I have the craziest sense of humour and we feed off of each other with ideas,’ said Elisha.
’The shoot was hilarious. Everything went so smoothly. Our pup was enjoying every second of it, and all the treats he was getting.’
’We did this shoot just for a little bit of humour between ourselves, as well as for those that share the same sense of humour as us.’
Sometimes, animals behave almost exactly like us. They get angry when they don’t like something; they jump for joy when something good happens. The chances are that on more than one occasion you’ve seen a reflection of yourself in some of their furry little faces.
And no animal is more interesting — and hilarious — in this respect than the cat. Here are 15 of the most adorable cats who brilliantly mimic the way we behave at work.

Of all the things we wish for right now, we probably long for spring the most. Being tired of winter with its grey skies, dark evenings and bitter cold weather, means that we are naturally counting down the days untill the start of spring. We need more rain, more greenery and flowers, more sun and definitely more evening strolls in the cool, fragrant air. And it seems that there are many animals out there that can’t wait to enjoy the first shoots and flowers of spring as well.
We are sure that Spring 2016 is already upon us. Get ready to meet the sun!
For many years, Rowan Kunz, of Ulster County, New York, has wanted to build her own home.
Her dream was to build her own home on a large plot of land, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she had to make different plans.
So, she started to build her own off-the-grid tiny home in the Hudson Valley, close to where she grew up as a kid.
In the past, we’ve seen many tiny and self-sufficient homes — but only a few have the most stunning practical features.
Rowan’s home has a pretty spectacular composting bathroom, and it even has a retractible outdoor deck, for when she and her cat, Willow, want to sit outside and watch the sun set over the valley.
Scroll on to see how Rowan’s adorable tiny home turned out, and let us know your thoughts on sustainable and simple living in the comments below!
Rowan Kunz owner & Builder of a small trailor house
A few years ago, Rowan Kunz, from Ulster County, New York, decided to move back near her hometown in High Falls, after accepting a position as an elementary school art teacher.
But because of her abrupt transition and her student debt, she realized that building her own home on a large property was unrealistic.
Instead, Rowan decided to build a tiny house that was self-sustainable.

Rowan has spent considerable times overseas, in countries like Kenya, and gradually became inspired by the small-house movement.
She knew that living in a tiny home on wheels would free her from constraints, a mortgage, and would allow her to move whenever and wherever she wished to go.
So, she bought a 24-foot trailer, and started constructing the foundations of her home all by herself.
“The hardest thing was figuring out ways to work alone — and wrapping my head around the electric,” she told Hudson Valley magazine, saying that she had to become skilled at using tools like the miter saw, the drill, the screwdriver, and the circular saw.
She decided to build much of her tiny home with all-natural materials, like bamboo flooring, pine paneling, and cedar lining in the bathroom.
She even built a hand pump that would bring water from the rain barrel to a tank above the cypress wood bathtub.
The bathroom also holds a “loveable loo composting toilet,” which works beautifully, says Rowan.
There is also a well-equipped kitchen in the home — complete with a little stainless-steel sink, a miniature wood-burning stove, a fireproof, and pressed-tin ceiling panels.
Rowan sleeps on a loft bed that has abundant storage space underneath.
There’s also a shallow closet at the foot of the bed, which anchors one end of the home.
The exterior even opens up to a beautiful, luxurious deck, where Rowan and her cat, Willow, can rest on cool summer nights.
There are also practical gutters outside to collect rainwater, a heatable camping shower setup that provides warm water in the winter, and solar panels that generate enough power to run all the lights, a laptop, the fridge, and other appliances.
“The house has enough living space for me,” said Rowan. “I have more comforts than most people in this world.”

We all know that dogs have larger than life personalities, but one photographer decided to dedicate a series to showing just how big a role his dog, Juji, plays in his life.
“We got Juji in August of 2014, and he’s 1 year 8 months,” photographer Christopher Cline told The Dodo.
Although golden doodles are typically about 2 feet tall, each photo in the series portrays Juji, and occasionally Cline himself, in variously impossible sizes.
Making the photographic effect look just right isn’t easy work, but they both enjoy the process. “I think what Juji and I love most about making these is the fact that it has brought us incredibly close together,” said Cline. “We’ve been working with each other for over a year now and we know exactly what we need from each other to make the day’s photo work.”
While the subjects’ sizes always make the characters appear to be living in a fantasy world, the child-like sense of adventure and playfulness is very real between Cline and Juji.
When asked what his favorite photo is from the series, Cline shared the following photo with The Dodo.
“It just defines how I feel about spending time with my puppy,” Cline said. “He is my best buddy and we have so much fun creating these together.”
Below are several photos from Cline’s series, including one photo that shows how you can create the mis-proportioned effect yourself.
This Cat Knew Just How To Comfort His Dying Friend
All around the world, compassionate animal lovers have opened their hearts — and doors! — to those in need.
Many kindhearted folks have dedicated their entire lives to saving once-abused, abandoned, and mistreated farm animals, like people on this sanctuary in Spain that rescued a hoard of tiny baby goats.
The Indraloka Animal Sanctuary is such a safe haven — home to nearly 100 cats, geese, goats, pigs, cows, and many more animals.
Wesley T. Monkey is just one of the many animals that lives on the farm. Yet, in his two short years on the property, Wesley has already become best buddies with all animals, even the ones that are 10 times bigger than him.
Just recently, Penny, a cow who lived at the sanctuary, passed away. Leading up to her last days, Wesley constantly remained at her side, purring softly, reassuring her of his presence and love.
Scroll further to read about Wesley’s story, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Two-year-old Wesley T. Monkey is the most popular resident at Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Mehoopany, PA.
The sanctuary is a forever home for abused, neglected, and abandoned farm animals, and is home to around 100 cats!
Indra Lahiri, founder of the sanctuary, recognizes the importance of Wesley’s presence at the farm.
“All the other animals love him,” she told Zainab Akande of The Dodo. “He’s really just very popular.”
Wesley has never known life outside of the sanctuary.
His mother arrived at the sanctuary during kitten season and gave birth to Wesley right there in the barn.
Since then, Wesley has grown up with other cats, cows, pigs, and humans at the sanctuary, and treated everyone with kindness.
The most peculiar thing about Wesley is that he’s absolutely fearless.
He loves sleeping and cuddling next to the other farm animals, and frequently rides on top of the bigger sanctuary members.
He even gets along well with the geese, who are known to be a little intense toward the animals.
Wesley is as playful and adventurous as he is compassionate and kindhearted.
He was a good friend of Penny’s, a cow at the sanctuary who had recently passed away.
Up to her very last moments, Wesley remained by her side, climbing on top of her, providing a comforting presence.
He purred softly the entire time, reassuring her that he’d be there for her.
Wesley will surely be there for each and every one of the animals at the sanctuary, just like he was there for Penny.
He’ll even stick by each of the four 1,000-pound pigs, who he spends a lot of time with.
“He has to have adventures,” said Indra. “He’s just not a sit-around kind of cat.”
