Stir the spaghetti sauce mixture well, then add the broken spaghetti. Stir and make sure that all of the spaghetti is separated and is completely covered by the sauce. It'll cook more in the oven later with the pasta bake. This is by far the easiest way to cook the meatballs because there's no oil splatter and draining on paper towels.

Steps to make Slow cooked Pork Meatball Pasta bake:
  1. Boil a kettle. To a jug add 350ml boiled water. The dried porcini mushrooms, the chicken stock cube and the soy sauce. Mix well and put to one side.
  2. To a bowl and the sausage meat, fennel seeds, the ginger (peeled first) and half of the courgette (no need to peel) both grated. Mix well and separate into 4 big and juicy meatballs. Put to one side.
  3. Peel and grate the garlic. Grate the remaining courgette(no need to peel), roughly chop the pepper and cherry tomatoes and dice the celery. Add all of the vegetables to a slow cooker.
  4. Top the vegetables with the meatballs and pour over the stock you made first (avoid tipping in any of the mushrooms).
  5. Place on the lid and cook on low for 7 hours.
  6. Pre heat an oven to 180°C
  7. Once the meatballs have cooked for 7 hours. Very gently remove them and add the pasta. Give everything a good stir and then gently return the meatballs for another 15mins with the lid on.
  8. Gently remove the meatballs and add the pasta and the sauce to an oven proof dish. Top with the meatballs and grate over the cheese.
  9. Place in the oven for 20-25mins or until the cheese is fully melted and the meatballs are browned.

It'll cook more in the oven later with the pasta bake. This is by far the easiest way to cook the meatballs because there's no oil splatter and draining on paper towels. It's easier to shape the meatballs if your hands are wet. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a slow cooker, mix the spaghetti sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato puree.

Foods That Make You Happy

Many of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we must stay away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to consume. There are some foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, test out some of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to discover, are fantastic at fighting depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try eating a few eggs to jolly up!

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein source.

If you want to battle depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.

Grains can be wonderful for driving away a terrible mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are fantastic at helping you be happier. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling famished can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest. You digest these grains quicker than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel better. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood also!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Test out these hints instead!
