Salmon Bubble & Squeak

Swedish Style Meatballs

My husband went to Ikea this week, to pick up some furniture for work. At the mention of Ikea, most people’s first thought would be home furnishings….. garden furniture…..not me. The first thing I thought of was meatballs!

Summer Tuna Steak Casserole
