Make and fry your meat balls with salt and pepper

In a pot put
1 bottle of prego spaghetti sauce (original or green pepper with mushrooms etc)
1 19 oz can of tomato paste (I like the Hunt brand)
1 Large can of tomato sauce(hunt, or Heinz brand
1 Large can of alymers diced tomatoes
2 Cans of sliced mushrooms with juice
1 Onion quartered and thinly sliced
1/2 bunch if celery (take each stock and slice it length wise and the slice it)
1/2 green pepper if it is big (cut lengthwise and slice)
Shake in some garlic powder (about teaspoon)
Shake in some cayenne pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon - this makes it spicy)
Add your meatballs. Stir

Banana Bread

4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
3 bananas (mashed)
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

350 degrees for about 45 minutes to one hour

Garlic Butter Steak

Ingredients

for 2 servings

1 ribeye steak, 2 inch, 5 cm thick, preferably USDA Prime
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).
Generously season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, then bake for about 45 minutes to an hour until the internal temperature reads about 125°F (51° C) for medium-rare. Adjust the bake time based on if you like your steak more rare or more well-done (you monster).
Heat the canola oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Do not use olive oil, as its smoke point is significantly lower than that of canola oil and will smoke before reaching the desired cooking temperature.
Sear the steak for 30 seconds on the first side, then flip.
Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and swirl around the pan.
Transfer the garlic and herbs on top of the steak and baste the steak with the butter using a large spoon.
Baste for about 30 seconds, then flip and baste the other side for about 15 seconds.
Turn the steak on its side and cook to render off any excess fat.
Rest the steak on a cutting board or wire rack for about 10 minutes. Slicing the steak before the resting period has finished will result in a lot of the juices leaking out, which may not be desirable.
Slice the steak into ½ -inch (1 ½ cm) strips, then fan out the slices and serve.
Enjoy!
