Homemade Meatballs in Tomato & Baked Beans Sauce

Back after such a long long disappearance act from this space with a simple and quick dish and I will be off again.

Yes, my hubby and I will be expecting our little one in some 2 months' time. Third trimester has been kind to me thus far, just experiencing bad backaches but I guess that's normal as the belly grows.  Last lap now, jiayou!

Leaving you with the recipe of this Homemade Meatballs in Tomato & Baked Beans Sauce. Yeah I finally like got myself off the couch to cook again. Not that I haven't been cooking, but were just simple stir fry dishes or quick steam fish or egg, tofu and meat.

Anyway, hope to be back soon :)

250g minced meat
