That’s a Big-a Meat-a-ball!

March 9 is National Meatball Day, and you can now get Mama Mancini’s Meatballs at Publix! Whatever meat you prefer in your meatball—beef, turkey, chicken, pork—you can fi nd them fully cooked and ready for your table. All you do is heat them up, maybe add some of Mama Mancini’s Slow Cooked Italian Sauce and your favorite pasta for meal the family or any single person will love. Mama Mancini’s also had pre-cooked meatloaf, a favorite among the men in the family, so you may want to try it too!

Going for the Green

St. Patrick’s Day means a good time around town, and, of course, eating the Irish favorite—corned beef and cabbage. The traditional meal came about when early Irish immigrants ate it to remind them of the homeland. According to most stories, many Irish don’t even eat it these days. However, it’s still a very popular American tradition, and you can eat it every day (sans the green beer, of course) at O’Keefe’s Irish Pub in Tavares, Devenney’s Irish Pub in Clermont, or the Magical Meat Boutique in Mount Dora.
