Meatball Sandwiches and Caeser Salad

Meatball Sandwiches
I love to find ways to make leftovers into another dinner, otherwise things often find their way to my trash after a few days. If you have leftover Turkey Meatballs, this is an easy one!

Rolls
Leftover meatballs
Leftover Homemade Marinara or a fresh jar
Mozzarella Cheese, the fresh kind or something not shredded

Preheat broiler. Place rolls so the flat bottom is down. Cut along the top, lengthwise, but not all the way through. Heat marinara in a pot and add meatballs, heat until warmed through. Place 4 or 5 meatballs in each roll and spoon marinara over them. Slice mozzarella into thin slices and lay over the top of the rolls. Put under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and browned, about 3 minutes.

Caeser Salad
This is my mom's all the way. Enjoy this, folks.

1/2 c prepared caeser dressing (Marie's is best, but Lighthouse will work as well)
1/4 c Parmesan cheese
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 cloves garlic
1/2-1 tsp of anchovy paste, use a little if the idea horrifies you, more if you like the salty/spicy flavor
1/2 c olive oil.

In a food processor, blend dressing, cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and anchovy. Turn the processor to 'on' and slowly drizzly in the olive oil until well blended.

Pour a little over romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan for a yummy salad.
